Fuel
Starships —> Fuel
All starships use Neutronium for fuel. Neutronium is a superdense material found at the core of many planets. It is also known as "neutronic fuel". Fuel is millions of times denser than common elements such as lead or gold. The fuel must be stored within a very powerful inertial damping field to prevent damage to the starship's structure during maneuvering or acceleration. The amount of fuel that a starship can carry is limited solely by the strength of that inertial damping field and not the cargo room available on the starship.

Starships without fuel cannot attack enemy ships. Enemy starships are not allowed to attack starships that are out of fuel, due to the
Treaty of Nimbus 7.
Starships without fuel cannot perform most missions. More information on this can be found on the
Out Of Fuel page.
Planetary advantages like the Energy Defense Shield burn neutronium to function.
