Teronium Grading

Teronium is graded on an ascending scale based on strength, hardness and purity.

Grade 0
Grade 0 is pure martoin iron that is sceduald to be turned into ternonium.

Grade 1
This is impure teronium made mainly out of martion iron and so is very soft. Used in martion coinage, some jewelery and knock off space ships

Grade 2
This is semi-pure, used in the creation of furnaces, as it retains the heat-resistance of higher grades, but is malleable at 753 Degrees celcius

Grade 3
This is a more pure form of teronium, often used in corvettes, as it is able to withstand a 1 Tj pulse laser

Grade 4
Used in Harassment ships and pirate raid fleets, it is relatively cheap to mass produce, while being stronger than grade 3

Grade 5
Used in higher-end frigates, it is more expensive than previous types, requiring carbon-reduction processing to get pure enough

Grade 6
Hard to mass-manufacture, used on capital ships, as they generate high threat

Grade 7
Used in harderned colony domes, it is rather hard to get hold of, many counterfeits are created

Grade 8
Usually unused as it is not cost-efficient

Grade 9
One of the hardest known forms of 'natural' teronium, it is usually alloyed with more impure forms due to the expense of gaining it

Grade 10
The hardest form of teronium without Arco-Quantum Tempering.

Grade 11
An form of Teronium, using experimental Arco-Quantim Tempering, it is used almost entirely is exporer, wolf and jupiter class ships.

Grade 12
Only used in very big capital ships, it is the hardest known form of Teronium out side of labs.
