Sasiore

Sasiore is a term used in speculative fiction and tabletop role-playing game lore to denote a rare crystalline material with extraordinary energy properties. In many works, sasiore forms only under specific geological and orbital conditions, and is found in small, often isolated deposits on asteroids, frozen moons, or deep subterranean chambers.

Descriptions vary, but sasiore is commonly portrayed as highly stable under extreme radiation and heat, with a high energy density and a faint luminescent glow. It is frequently depicted as requiring specialized mining and refinement, and as a valuable strategic resource. Its scarcity and handling hazards often contribute to plot tension, trade dynamics, and security concerns within fictional settings.

In fiction, sasiore serves as a power source for advanced propulsion, shielding systems, and quantum computers, or as a catalyst for exotic technologies. While some narratives emphasize its economic and political importance, others focus on scientific mysteries surrounding its formation and properties. The material frequently appears as a sought-after commodity that drives exploration, conflict, and diplomatic maneuvering.

Etymology is not standardized; the name is typically treated as a coinage with possible lunar or celestial connotations, combining a syllable or root evocative of the moon with the common mineral-name suffix "-ore." As a fictional construct, sasiore lacks a canonical definition, and its specific characteristics vary across different settings and authors.

Because sasiore is not a real mineral, references are limited to fictional worlds and game lore, with each work detailing its own lore, properties, and implications.
