Neutronium
Neutronium was a dense alloy made up of non-toxic, trans-uranic elements on the periodic table that have far more neutrons than protons or electrons which is difficult to produce. Groups and races who have managed to manufacture and use it include the Dominion, the Iconians and the Vidiians.
It was a super dense element that was found at the heart of a collapsed star which made it a rare but extremely tough substance. As armor, it was resistant to almost any form of energy and matter. This made it impervious to all known forms contemporary weapons. (FASA RPG module: A Doomsday Like Any Other)
