Osmium is a strong metal, often utilized for its thick shielding properties.


In the 22nd century, NX class starships used osmium as the primary shielding in their warp nacelles and the outer shell of the catwalk.


Examples:

  • This thick protection can help a ship pass through a neutronic storm; the osmium protects the crew from deadly neutronic radiation.
  • Many surface rocks of the Kalandan homeworld was composed of a diburnium-osmium alloy.
