It is favored by high-ranking military officials, elite mercenaries, and explorers who expect to face the toughest challenges.

General Properties: cannot be worked in normal time; blocks deep-radar and hyperwave; absorbs 40% of neutrinos; absorbs nearly 100% of all other radiation and subatomic particles; rapidly dissipates heat; retains induced magnetic fields; nearly frictionless surface; appears translucent, grayish in sunlight.
In the Timestream it is either a gas if in heavy time turbulence area hard to mine but can collect ALOT if can catch the gas and keep it in that state until you need to use it, or in a soft workable state that you can mold even by hand. Once it leaves the timestream it becomes hard within 24 hours and then.
Scrith is an unreasonably strong material, virtually indestructible, and much denser than lead. Nothing will grow on bare scrith; it cannot be worked, and it cannot be pierced by known tools or weapons.
The tensile strength of scrith is many billions of times greater than tungsten steel. Scrith absorbs forty percent of neutrinos. A neutrino stands a fifty-fifty chance of passing through several light-years of normal matter, even compressed matter, without being absorbed!
Disintegrators do not appear to affect scrith. Same DR against Disintegrators weapons Deep-radar and other sensors will not penetrate it. It adds +10 to any check to detect a ship with a scrith shield.
The material seems to disperse heat rapidly. If a laser is fired at scrith, there is no steam, no smoke, no crackle of material exploding into vapor( DR 40 vs laser(if ship hull is made of this only applies to damage after armour) or any weapon that heats up material to do damage and immune to Critical hits from said weapons.
Scrith is an artificial substance. Most of its properties are still mysterious. One of the best theories concerning it postulates that massive electromagnetic fields are used in strengthening the inter-nuclear force so that atomic bonding within the substance no longer relies on molecular chemical and crystalline phenomena. The increase in strength is about right if enhanced nuclear bonding (rather than molecular or atomic) is involved.
It retains an induced electromagnetic field. With the right control devices, you can build electricity and artifactual Grav.
