Ablative Hull Armor was an armor advancement first designed for Starship Hulls before being miniturized for personal armor. Its substance was made of the latest and most resistant material to kinetic and heat energy, alloys of synthetic and natural materials that added to each others strengths. However, if that were the only difference then it would simply be the latest generation of armor barely distinguishable from its predecessors. Ablative Armor however was a complex system which uses the special attributes of its material to minimize the effects of most weapons used against it. The metals and synthetic compounds used in its construction were highly conductive to both heat and ion charge. Heat energy from an impact was transferred over the entire surface of the armor system.
