Light Ferro-Fibrous Armor
Sarna News
Description
Light ferro-fibrous armor was developed by the Inner Sphere for use on BattleMechs and combat vehicles. It was first put into production in 3067. In their attempt to mimic Clan ferro-fibrous armor, Free Worlds League scientists were able to reduce the amount of space that light ferro-fibrous takes up to match that of the Clans, but the cost was reduced protection.[1]
Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor was developed based upon the Light Ferro-Fibrous compound by Durallex for the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces in 3069.[1] Durallex was inspired by Kallon Industries' idea to modify the amount of diamond in the armor, but went in the other direction. The result was a bulkier armor that was stronger.[1]
