Phase Matter
Exceptionally rare form of matter only found on the other side of the Rikavi Interdimensional Portal.
The Rikavi Ancients use and mine it heavily and will fight invaders who try to get their hands on some. It can be obtained from salvaging wreckages that have some, or by capturing and holding mining facilities. These mining facilities cannot be built by any faction other than the Rikavi, and the Rikavi find them exceptionally difficult to build. The process takes multiple years at least.
When incorporated into technology, Phase Matter will make use of other planes of existence and significantly improve the efficiency. However, the real use lies in weapons and armour - as it fires the same projectile multiple times in other planes of existence, each projectile is inertia - tied together as a single entity. None can separate from the others. This effectively multiplies its force by the amount of planes used. A similar thing applies with armour. Phase matter can be simply applied to any technology without even requiring a significant understanding of how it works, but having a solid understanding can further improve its effect slightly. As long as it is present on the weapon system or armour, it will massively improve its power. The HF has classified its use and existance closely, but uses it on some very elite starships. Some examples include T.S. Boson, T.S. Sovereign Light and T.S. Cataclysm. The latter of these has the largest number of Phase Matter atoms implemented into it, but the HF cannot infuse archaeotech effectively with it yet. This may seem to conflict with the simple use principle, which is why the HF is confused as to why it doesnt work on archaeotech, especially when they see the Rikavi doing it on all of their war machines. Investigations into this anomaly continue. Another place that a significant amount of Phase matter is sent to is the Great Paragon Collider, to allow the HF ot gain a better understanding of the material and hopefully synthesize it themselves (which is impossible, but the HF does not know that). The HF has managed to partially Phase about 1 million starships (which sounds like a lot but on the scale of the galaxy cluster it is a very small amount). The HF focuses on partially phasing many ships rather than massively phasing a fewer number of ships.
