Editing Duranium (section)

==Duranium composites==

*The Cardassians used two-meter thick duranium composite to shield all the conduits aboard Terok Nor. Prior to the station's encounter with the Hunters, Miles O'Brien had "never seen a scanning device that could penetrate it." (DS9: "Captive Pursuit")

*Deep Space 9's crew later took advantage of knowing that this composite was impervious to the station's own security net scans and hid in the conduits in 2370, when the station was under siege. (DS9: "The Siege")

*The emergency hatches aboard Federation runabouts were made of duranium composite. When Major Kira Nerys suggested to burn through the hatch, Captain Benjamin Sisko told her to "forget it" and that "it would take [her] an hour to get through." (DS9: "Q-Less")
