Overview
Plasteel is a material which has a huge range of uses. It is — in effect — a cleverly plasticised form of conventional steel, which comprises a metallic matrix suspended throughout a tough polymer.
The major benefits of plasteel are that it is incredibly strong for its relative density, and its magnetic and conductive properties can be adjusted quite easily during fabrication. Plasteel components can be made to either insulate against EM fields and/or currents, or conduct them. This property is normally fixed at the time of manufacture.
Plasteel can be found everywhere throughout Imperial Combine technology; from the hulls of ships and ground vehicles, to the containers used to transport goods and other technology. From walls to crates, desks to lighting mounts.... it is basically ubiquitous.
