Veridite · Resource
Rare crystalline mineral essential for faster-than-light slip-field technology; abundant deposits exist in the Neutral Zone near Sol.
The galaxy’s favorite power source and the fastest way to start a war without trying.
Veridite · Material
Rare crystalline composite uniquely concentrated in Sol-adjacent strata. Stabilizes slip-field matrices, amplifies energy coherence, and underpins both Accord and Imperial propulsion architectures.
Mining rights and supply lanes are treated as defense priorities on par with fleet security. Every cruiser launched carries a veridite ledger monitored as tightly as its armament.
Wars fought over shiny rocks. Odd thing is, the galaxy barely coughs up crumbs of it elsewhere. Around Sol, it shows up in veins thick enough to trip empires. Still nobody knows why.
