Dilithium
Dilithium (TNG-147)
Crystalline substance used in warp propulsion systems to regulate the matter/antimatter reactions that provide the energy necessary for faster-than-light speed. Naturally occurring dilithium was extremely rare and was mined on only a few planets, such as Coridan,[1] Troyius[2] and Rura Penthe.[4] In 2286, a method of recrystalizing dilithium was discovered, reducing the need for mining new deposits of the mineral.[3]
