Novanium

Novanium, also known as Cosmicite and Starlight Crystal, is an energy-absorbent material used as a power source.

Description
Novanium appears to be a crystal-like material, naturally translucent white in color, with a bright pulsing glow when charged. Different types of energy will often appear to be in different colors within the Novanium. Novanium is often distributed in the forms of fully-assembled batteries.

Capabilities
Novanium is able to absorb and replicate massive amounts of energy, including supernatural types. It is formed from supernova remnant reacting with the surfaces of any planets or other bodies in the nearby systems, often shot out as meteors to other worlds, rarely forming in space without any other medium, similarly to Uux. However, forming planets are known to form Novanium in reaction to solar activity. Because of this, Novanium is naturally charged with massive amounts of energy, although this energy can be drained, allowing the Novanium to be refilled with other types of energy. Novanium can take in 3rd Dimensional energy, but cannot take in anything extradimensional. Any chunks broken off of a piece of Novanium will still retain its charge. Novanium also passively replicates energy held within it to take up its full capacity, although this is done at a slow rate, and is most effective when not in use.

Usage
The most common use for Novanium is a power source, mainly for smaller assets, such as those seen on Light Drives. However, large amounts of drained Novanium is used as the basis for Government Dyson Spheres. Exosuits, starfighters, robots, and vehicles can operate on small amounts of Novanium for long or indefinite peroids of time. Larger objects, such as cruisers, usually operate on larger or alternative engines, such as matter/anti-matter conversion engines. Novanium is able to be synthesized through a complex and risky process. Novanium creation is a secret process only available to certain branches of major factions, and requires large space stations to attempt.
