The Armor: The armor is composed of a diamond helix bonded through double carbon bonds and other ADBOND designs around and through a buckyball matrix, layered in 240 nano-meter strips. This is covered by the Indium/Osmium-Germanium mix 2nd Gen Supercooled Coil, which was stolen off an Iscariot VIII a while back. They are filled with supercooled liquid Xenon and when a round impacts, the liquid gasses out to counter the heat while the metal coil itself is used as a heat conductor to dissipate the attack it will render that portion of the coil useless but should still enable it to work on other parts of the tank. Especially good against HEAT. Finally there is a thick layer of NxRA Ablative Armor Blocks, up to 14cm in some places. This provides up to an additional 1000mm RHA, for a total of up to 5500mm RHA. (max. real thickness 200mm). However, the central differences between the Spanish buckyball matrix and the composites of the armor is the type of bondage between the diamond helix, allowing for a stronger chemical bonding, meaning the armor RHA will be a tad stronger. The ADBOND (ADvanced BOND) is a third generation single crystal superalloy bond. This primary armor is further reinforced by a ceramic composite bulk between it and a DUEIS plate, which gives it a final 7,000mm of armor. This final layer is coupled by a layer of NxRA armor which gives it the final RHA value of 8,500mm, all for a real value of some 800mm.

In a final insulated layer under this above a MEXAS armor layer will be employed, measuring twenty inches thick, which gives it an RHA value of over 300mms, giving the tank a total RHA value of some 9,000mms.

MEXAS density is ~1.7g/cc and reactive elements are reported in the construction with a strenght of 2.5 GPa, not many materials are that strong but Boron Carbide could fit the bill. B4C has a mass of 2.55g/cc and ME vs shaped charges of ~ 4.0...leading to a space effectiveness of ~ 1.3.

Now a mixture of CaCO/GAP and B4C should have a density of 1.7-1.8 g/cc [2.55g/cc 1.0g/cc ÷2]. Some thing with the density of CaCO/Gap should have an effectiveness of ~ 0.7 [space effectiveness] so a average of B4C
