Ceramic/Legends

Ceramic was a substance used for a variety of purposes.
==History==
===Arms and Armor===
Composite ceramics were used in the creation of some armor. Layers of composite ceramics were used in the blast vest worn by soldiers wielding Emperor-4 beam tubes. The ceramics helped the blast vest to absorb and dissipate kinetic energy from high-impact projectiles.The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology Slugthrower ammunition could be constructed of ceramic.

The Galactic Empire's MT/191 drop-ship was typically covered in VACX, a protective coating, before deployment to allow the ship to survive the high-friction temperatures of a powerdive into a planet's atmosphere. Alliance Special Forces captured a few of these vessels but, as VACX coating was difficult to come by, instead coated the dropship with a mix of air-foam/silicate ceramic. The homebrew coating seemed to be the most effective compared to other mixtures, through trials continued.Rules of Engagement: The Rebel SpecForce Handbook
