Lockerem

Lockerem is a fictional material featured in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing settings. It is described as a durable, lightweight substance capable of forming secure storage enclosures and enabling selective access to their contents. In many depictions, lockerem is produced through advanced industrial processes and valued for its combination of physical resilience and adaptable access controls.

Core properties attributed to lockerem include high fracture toughness, chemical inertness, and thermal stability. The material is often depicted as impermeable to most gases and liquids and as having tunable electromagnetic characteristics used by fictional access systems. Access to items stored in lockerem containers may be controlled by codes, biometric signals, environmental cues, or other in universe mechanisms, allowing release or retention of contents under specific conditions.

Common uses in fiction and games include secure vaults on spacecraft, portable safes for sensitive data cartridges, and storage chests for dangerous or valuable items. Lockerem is frequently employed as a plot device to prevent tampering, ensure authenticity, or symbolize trust and security within a narrative or game system. Its versatility allows it to appear in both high tech and near future settings, from corporate security outlines to interstellar logistics.

In real life, lockerem does not exist as a confirmed material. It is a fictional concept invented for storytelling and gameplay. Descriptions of lockerem vary by author and game system, but are generally oriented toward secure storage, controlled release, and implications of advanced technology.
