Vector-class Battleplate

Vector class battleplate (known more simply as Vector) was a type of armor plating developed solely by NaTech Industries in the late 2560s; it was exclusive to naval warships. The primary component of Vector was Carbonide, an ultra rigid, carbon-based composite engineered by various scientists of Innovative Engineering Solutions, Inc.

When the GOLEM Battleplate was introduced in the mid to late 2580s, many warships retained their Vector plating because of its much lower cost to maintain and install.
