Tecton is a ferrous alloy found nearly everywhere in charted space. Its strength, flexibility, and durability has made it the most common construction material for everything from common tools to spacecraft. Its ferromagnetism gives it added utility in magnetic-based mechanisms, including mooring lines, magnetic boots, and reliable docking hatches. Tecton's plentiful supply and ubiquitous use makes its mining, refinement, and transportation the most profitable industries. It is commonly found in planets and asteroids, and salvaged from nearly any object of exodian manufacture.
