Editing Void-Sphinx (section)

===Armor===
Comprised of layers of the light alloys used in the construction of the Defiant class, the fighter's armor can best be termed ablative parametallic polydiburnium armor. Its surface has the ability to reflect much of the energy from beam weapons (q.v. SHIELDS).

The hull is also treated with sensor-absorbing substances designed to reduce the sensor signature of the fighter. While not as stealthy as a cloaked vessel, a lone Sphinx can lie in wait powered down and go undetected by any but the most through of scans.
