Tritium is a resource.

Summary[ | ]

Tritium (H3) is a resource and one of the exotic elements. It is used for crafting freighter related base building products, frigate fuel and fuel for your starship's Pulse Engine.

Game Description[ | ]

Radioactive isotope commonly used to fuel the fusion reactor at the heart of starship Pulse Engines.

Abundant in interstellar asteroid fields, Tritium can be mined from asteroids using starship weaponry.

Source[ | ]

Tritium can be acquired in a variety of ways:

Extracted from some asteroids, tritium rich asteroids can be detected with the starship scanner.
In its crystallized form as a Tritium Hypercluster. (Hover over them with your mouse and press E to "Analyze".) (97%)
As a secondary element in some cave minerals (14%)
Some Galactic Trade Terminals and system traders. (Small amounts always sold in Outlaw Systems.)
Can be found in a freighter after purchasing one.
Can be found in a starship after purchasing one.

Cooking[]

Tritium is not used as an ingredient for cooking using a Nutrient Processor.

Trivia[ | ]

Tritium (periodic symbol T or H3 and is derived from the Greek word tritos, meaning "third") is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen and is naturally very rare where trace amounts are created from atmospheric-cosmic ray interactions. It is produced artificially by irradiating lithium or lithium-ceramic in a nuclear reactor. Aside from a common use of light sources for watches or instruments; like deuterium, it is used as fuel for nuclear fusion in energy generation and nuclear weapons.
