Ultramesh, also referred to as Verpine fiber ultramesh, represented a resilient armor type crafted by the Verpine.
Ultramesh involved the intricate weaving of specialized Verpine fiber into a high-density, robust micromesh structure. This material, despite its compact nature, retained a lightweight and pliable character, rendering it well-suited for creating body armor.
Ultramesh exhibited versatility in its application, ranging from complete medium armor sets, like those employed during the Old Republic period (offering superior protection compared to most heavy armors of that time), to light jumpsuits that resembled ordinary fabric until activated by an electrical current, causing them to become remarkably stiff.
The production methods for ultramesh were a closely-held secret of the Verpine for thousands of years. This was because the manufacturing process could enhance the lightness and strength of other materials. A prime illustration of this is the Mando-Verpine Assault Fighter, a collaborative project between MandalMotors and the Verpine of Roche Industries. In spite of this confidentiality, the Verpine engaged in exporting fiber mesh and ultramesh armor for many centuries, leading to its widespread presence across the galaxy.
