Editing Osmium

[[Osmium]] is a strong metal, often utilized for its thick shielding properties.

[[NX Class]] starships of the 22nd century used osmium as the primary shielding in their warp [[Nacelle]]s, and the outer shell of the catwalk.

This thick protection helped the crew of Enterprise on two occasions; when they had to pass through a neutronic storm, the entire crew took refuge in the catwalk, and the osmium protected them from the deadly neutronic radiation. (ENT: "The Catwalk")

The crew took refuge there again, when non-corporeal beings tried to take over their bodies. It was found that they couldn't pass through the osmium alloy of the catwalk. (ENT: "The Crossing")

Much of the surface rocks of the Kalandan homeworld was composed of a [[Diburnium]]-osmium alloy. (TOS: "That Which Survives")

:'''''Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise speculates that a majority of the metals the Enterprise was made of was osmium.'''''
