"If I can make you see the world the way I see it, then you will automatically think the way I think."
- Philip K. Dick

Gundarium  
  A very sturdy, high-tensile composite.  

"Originally intended for use inside thermonuclear reactors, this alloy's superb strength, durability, heat resistance and radiation-absorbing properties make it an ideal material for mobile suit armor...However, the difficulty of processing the titanium, and the expense of the rare metals used, render Gundarium alloy unsuitable for mass-produced mobile suits."
Technovelgy from Mobile Suit Gundam, by Yoshiyuki Tomino.
Published by Sunrise in 1979
