	Our understanding of the alien materials is limited at best, and we could spend years deciphering the complex manufacturing processes required to produce and manipulate these substances. However, we have managed to crudely adapt some of the observed techniques into our own research. Our first development, a multi-walled carbon nanotube weave, was modeled after an unusual pattern mirrored in several of the alien materials. This new configuration has proven to possess a greater tensile strength than any material previously recorded in known science. Adapting this fiber into an armor reinforcing vest will surely afford our soldiers increased protection on the battlefield.

While Alien Alloys ''can'' be sold on the [[Gray Market]], it is highly recommended that you '''DO NOT''' do so; Alien Alloys are only acquired through recovery of UFOs, both damaged and undamaged, and you never know when your next contact will occur.

Because nearly all advanced manufacturing and research projects require some quantity of alloys, it is recommended that you stockpile as many alloys as you can, and obviously avoid selling them.

Unlike the original [[X-COM]], Alien Alloys in [[Enemy Unknown (2012)]] *'''CANNOT'''* be manufactured, only recovered.
