Hardlight

Hardlight is the technology involving and surround the ability to bind luxite particles into a solid-state mass. It forms the most powerful types of energy shielding for militarized situations, but can also be used in construction and exo-atmospheric crafts (as is evidenced by the Rhurni ships).

The downside to hardlight technology is that it is extremely difficult and complicated to harness, not to mention expensive. Due to this, very few races are willing to invest the funds into hardlight production, barring the Alinteans and the Rhurni.
