Tachyonic Energy

Tachyonic energy is a form of energy from Hyperspace, used as a fuel source for Light Drives.

Workings
Tachyonic energy is made up of tachyons, which are particles that move faster than light, and are thus annihilated within Realspace, unless they are protected by Light Drive batteries or substances such as Novanium and Uux. Tachyonic energy can then serve as a fuel source, most often used to power Light Drives, as the amount of energy held within it will often overload other devices. The energy can be harnessed into short-range explosive weaponry, although this is rare due to the related expenses. Some factions, including the Military, created bombs from tachyonic energy, although very few of these were ever made or used.
