Exomatter
The incomprehensible substance used by Exotechnologies.
Although Humans don't have free access to these, we were able to study this substance during the first years of colonization.
Properties
Material Characteristics
It presents itself in an "inactive" state as a black to dark purple impalpable liquid like substance, it doesn't exactly follow all the laws of physics as we know them, only reacting to some.
How or why this is, is still unknown.
Physical & Chemical Properties
When Inactive it can spread and replicate itself by "mutating" surrounding compounds into itself, only containable in Precursor tubes, which have been reported having exotic matter interiors, somehow stabilazed to coexsist in our universe.
Activated exomatter will work towards a programmed objective and becomes harmless, sticking your hand through an active flow appears to be safe; activated exomatter will travel through normal matter like if it wasn't even there.
Origin & Source
Unknown, although speculated to be synthetized or harvested from some other "universe"; although this claim is highly speculative and regarded by many improbable since the multiple universe Hypothesis was highly discredited in the late 2370s
History & Usage
History
Upon its discovery it revolutionized our concept of perceived reality and brought upon a short lived golden age of research, abruptly ended upon the Human's inability to comprehend the basic element that composes it.
The Deshivohai machines confiscated all exotechnologies, further stopping research on the matter.
Discovery
Discovered by the Precursors in an unknown age, kept functioning by the Deshivohai machines after they disappeared.
Everyday use
The Deshivohai use it in everyday life, to synthetize food and drink, to replicate complex compounds and to power their structures.
Cultural Significance and Usage
Contested in the Human black market; a single "drop" of contained exomatter can sell at exorbitant amounts.
Several Human governments are still in the midst of a race to synthetize it from the few informations we have on it.
Widely considered the next step in Human evolution.
Manufacturing & Products
Virtually anything can be created through the activation of Exomatter.
If there are any limits, we don't know, most of its potential is known from accounts and anecdotal evidence as the Desshivohai try to keep it as secret as possible.
Hazards
Contact with inactive Exomatter is lethal, the substance will degrade the body and transform it into more exomatter.
Environmental Impact
Inactive exomatter can diffuse itself and start a chain reaction of unknowable proportions.
Only accident regarding this subject was terminated artificially by Deshivohai intervention and subsequent confiscation of the substance.
Reusability & Recycling
Apparently any kind of compound can be made into Exomatter and vice versa.
Distribution
Trade & Market
Exomatter is only sold on the black market for enormous amounts of currency.
Storage
Only stored in ancient's tubes with an internal layer of exotic elements.
Law & Regulation
due to its highly dangerous nature, it is illegal to possess such substance under any circumstance.
The Deshivohai indipendant government called for every drop of Exomatter to be immediately returned to them, although this call to action was widely ignored by citizens and governments alike.
