'''Endo Steel''' is a type of steel, which may be used in the "skeleton" of a [[Battlemech|Battle]] or [[Clan_%27Mechs|OmniMech]]. Requires zero-G to manufacture. It is twice as strong, but also requires a greater diameter and is thus bulkier than normal battlemech internal structure. While the weight savings in tonnage can be significant, Endo Steel requires a significant number of space within a BattleMech (7 slots for Clan 'Mechs, 14 for Inner Sphere 'Mechs). The weight savings for Endo Steel are greater than those saved by [[Ferro-Fibrous|ferro-fibrous armor]], but it is more costly and obviously more difficult to repair or add as an upgrade to a mech.

Endo Steel is a type of steel, which may be used in the "skeleton" of a Battle or OmniMech. Requires zero-G to manufacture. It is twice as strong, but also requires a greater diameter and is thus bulkier than normal BattleMech internal structure. While the weight savings in tonnage can be significant, Endo Steel requires a significant number of space within a BattleMech (7 slots for Clan 'Mechs, 14 for Inner Sphere 'Mechs). The weight savings for Endo Steel are greater than those saved by ferro-fibrous armor, but it is more costly and obviously more difficult to repair or add as an upgrade to a 'Mech.
