Manezium Gas

By far the most significant history is that of the discovery of Manezium. The possibility of this unique substance existing was first realised by Boraxian scientists in the year 2250 when minute quantities of it were detected around the ghost ships of Canopus West. Boraxian scientists soon managed to recreate the substance in minute quantities and were amazed by the chemical properties that it possessed. Unfortunately the amount of energy required to create it was less than the amount they could obtain from it, meaning that it was not commercially viable.

The discovery of NSA by a Boraxian probe in 2373 changed all that. Other legions had previously regarded the Boraxian research as purely academic, but now they stood up and took notice. Here was a substance that provided a nearly limitless source of energy, and limitless possibilities, just sitting in space, up for grabs.

Krilgorians, in particular, want control of NSA. One of the limiting factors to how much they can integrate machinery into their bodies is energy. With Manezium Gas as the power source, the enhancements they dream possible drive them to fight for the sector as hard as they can.

Ajaxians are horrified by the Krilgorians' desires and accordingly, seek to stop them......or so they say. In reality, they couldn't care less what the Krilgorians' intentions are; they just don't want anyone else to get the gas ahead of them.

Boraxians having discovered both the theory and reality of Manezium see the gas as rightfully theirs. They dream of the power such a gas would give to their ships, making them an unstoppable force in the galaxy and allowing them to cleanse it of all inferior life.

And then there is the Tibran Legion, clawing its way back from the brink of destruction. After decades of abuse Tibrar has been left all but devoid of energy resources. For them, Manezium is a matter of life and death.
