Azracium is an alloy invented by the Ishgas by combining Vigamian blue steel with chromium and titanium. It is silvery-blue in color and has a similar polished, shiny, and reflective look to chromium. It shares the strength of Vigamian blue steel and even surpasses it by some measures, and accomplishes this while being lighter than it and sharing its insanely high melting point. However, the chemical reaction between the blue steel and titanium makes it far more brittle than either of those two ingredients, and as a result, azracium is mostly useless for sword blades (although it was briefly used by some for sword hilts before swords were largely retired by the galaxy's militaries during the later stages of the Tatian War). Instead, Azracium is mostly used for starship hulls and various industrial equipment. Due to blue steel's exclusivity to one area of the Planet Vigam, azracium is one of the most expensive materials in the galaxy and thrives on the black market.
