Ferro-Fibrous

Ferro-Fibrous armor (FF) is a special type of armor used by vehicles and BattleMechs. Utilizing a weave of ferro-steel, ferro-titanium, and diamond weave fibers which boosts the tensile strength of the plating, it provides more protection per ton than standard armor, but takes up more space on the 'Mech or vehicle.

Ferro-Fibrous (C)

Clan Ferro-Fibrous armor (cFF) is a special type of armor used by vehicles and BattleMechs. Utilizing a weave of ferro-steel, ferro-titanium, and diamond weave fibers which boosts the tensile strength of the plating, it provides more protection per ton than standard armor, but takes up more space on the 'Mech or vehicle. Clan Armor incorporates CASE technology.

Ferro-Fibrous (S)

The Sanctuary Worlds never had a technological backslide, so they never lost the skill and technology to make Ferro-Fibrous armor. However, over time they even improved upon it, bettering its protection while making it considerably less bulky. The end result is this, Sanctuary Ferro-Fibrous armor, essentially the same as Inner Sphere Ferro-Fibrous armor but significantly less bulky.

Light Ferro-Fibrous

Light Ferro-Fibrous armor (FF) is an attempt by the Inner Sphere to mimic SLDF Ferro-Fibrous armor. Utilizing a weave of ferro-steel, ferro-titanium, and diamond weave fibers which boosts the tensile strength of the plating, it provides more protection per ton than standard armor, but takes up more space on the 'Mech or vehicle.

Heavy Ferro-Fibrous

Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor was developed by Durallex for the Lyran Alliance based on the Inner Sphere's attempts at Light Ferro-Fibrous. Utilizing a weave of ferro-steel, ferro-titanium, and diamond weave fibers which boosts the tensile strength of the plating, it provides more protection per ton than standard armor, but takes up more space on the 'Mech or vehicle.

Ultra Ferro-Fibrous

Ultra Ferro-Fibrous armor was developed by House Davion after looking at captured Clan Ferro-Fibrous armor examples. The Davion engineers fairly quickly discovered that working CASE technology into Inner Sphere Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor was possible, for a small reduction in total protection offered. It remains just as bulky as standard Heavy Ferro-Fibrous however, despite the slightly reduced protection. Ultra Ferro incorporates CASE technology in all components of the equipped 'mech.
