Fträg

Fträg is a fictional crystalline material described in speculative fiction and games. In these works, Fträg is valued for its unusually high energy density and resilience to heat, radiation, and physical shock. It is commonly presented as a solid, iridescent crystal forming in deep crustal or planetary mantle conditions or in artificial synthesis under high pressure.

The mineral is typically depicted as a hexagonal or trigonal crystal with a faint glow, often blue or violet, and a hard, glassy to metallic luster. The etymology varies by author, but the name is generally treated as a compound from a fictional language root meaning light or core.

Formation and occurrence: Fträg is described as forming under extreme pressures and temperatures, sometimes through crystallization of exotic isotopes or via catalytic metamineralization in tectonically active regions of fictional worlds. In narratives, mining is restricted due to scarcity and the hazardous handling required.

Properties and handling: It offers high energy density and stable performance across a wide temperature range. Containment typically requires magnetic or gravitational fields to prevent spontaneous reactions; cutting and machining produce toxic fumes or dust and must be done with protective equipment.

Applications: In stories and games, Fträg powers starship reactors, fusion generators, and advanced weapons, or serves as a currency or store of value due to its rarity.

In fiction, Fträg serves as a plot device related to resource scarcity, corporate control, and technological advancement. Note: This page covers a fictional concept.
