Serratan Fiber-Tape
Serratan™ Fiber-Tape is a combat-rated fiber restraint material used aboard PUV James Keeling and other Fleet vessels. It is a go-to for Raider techs and engineers, particularly in "zip-tie" form. Fiber-tape is also used as a field-deployable restraint of hostile or non-compliant entities.

Description
Dark matte gray with faint silver crosshatching from the microfilament braid — almost like a woven carbon-fiber cable sleeving but denser and duller. It reflects almost no light (low-signature for tactical use), but under direct illumination, the silvery strands catch just enough to be visible to the naked eye, allowing crews to locate and assess the ties in dim environments like the Mud.
- Braided microfilament poly-kevlar-carbon blend
- Coated in a self-lubricating ceramic polymer
- Flash-rated to 600°C
- Tensile strength rated at 8,000 newtons
- Retains flexibility in vacuum, fakegrav, and high-humidity environments
- Immune to acids, solvents, and most known bio-excretions
- Combat Restraint Standard, Fleet Code SR-33*
Uses
- Restraint of captured combatants
- Emergency gear bracing or tethering
- Improvised medical splinting
- Securing volatile containers in zero-G
Deployment
Serratan is issued in spools or in hand-deployable zip-tie bundles with thumb-lock or auto-ratchet cinch mechanisms. Can be cut only with vibroblades, monofilament shears, or high-rated burn tools.
Nickname
- Solid glue — a popular slang term used by Raiders due to its brutal efficiency and unbreakable nature.
