Tritanium Hull Material
The corridor walls of the USS Yamato appear deceptively mundane at first glance—smooth metallic surfaces identical to any Starfleet vessel's interior architecture. Yet beneath their Federation-standard facade lies an impossible truth. Riker's tricorder scans reveal these bulkheads harbor advanced non-Federation materials woven seamlessly into their molecular structure, a technological feat far outstripping Starfleet's capabilities. Their very existence shatters foundational assumptions about the Yamato's integrity, transforming passive architectural elements into active sources of deception within Nagilum's manufactured reality. Every rivet and panel lining now pulses with ominous implications as the officers' tactile reality crumbles beneath their fingertips.

Purpose
To provide structural integrity and atmospheric containment for starship corridors while concealing forensic evidence of Nagilum's reality manipulation
Significance
These otherwise ordinary walls become the first physical proof of the Yamato's impossibility, catalyzing Riker and Worf's existential crisis. Their extraordinary composition undermines Starfleet technological supremacy while foreshadowing the deeper unreality waiting beyond every Yamato bulkhead—optical illusions given terrifying substance.
