Duranium is an extremely strong metallic substance used in alloys for hull construction of the starships and space stations of numerous cultures, including Andorians, Cardassians, Ferengi, Humans, Klingons, and Trabe.
The element of duranium is a naturally-occurring ore that is found most commonly in planetary crusts, Bajor being one of note.
Applications
- The outer hull of NX class starships were lined with duranium.
- A great number of Federation shuttlecrafts are constructed with a duranium metal shell.
- Portions of the interior of Galaxy-class starships were composed of solid duranium.
- In 2366, it was found that Krieger waves were capable of putting a hole in solid duranium when one was discovered in the cargo bay of the USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D .
- The skulls of Soong-type androids are partially composed of duranium.
- Portions of the secondary hull on a Klingon Vor'cha attack cruiser were partially constructed from duranium alloy.
Duranium composites
- The Cardassians used two-meter thick duranium composite to shield all the access conduits aboard Terok Nor.
- The emergency hatches aboard Federation runabouts were made of duranium composite.
