frazelor

Frazelor is a fictional material frequently referenced in speculative fiction, tabletop role-playing games, and fan wikis. In these works, frazelor is described as a tunable crystalline substance with exceptional strength, low density, and versatile electronic properties. There is no single canonical specification; different authors present varying chemistries and lattice structures, but common themes include its ability to switch between insulating and conducting states under external stimuli and its high resistance to extreme temperatures and corrosion.

Origins and synthesis in fiction often place frazelor as a manufactured material produced in advanced facilities or mined from rare meteorite deposits. Its production is depicted as resource-intensive, requiring specialized equipment and containment systems to manage volatile precursors or radiation during synthesis.

Applications within the narratives typically involve high-performance components such as spacecraft hulls, armor, or energy storage devices, where frazelor’s combination of lightness, strength, and tunable conductivity is advantageous. Some stories attribute self-healing or adaptive properties to frazelor, enabling repairs or reconfiguration of structures after damage.

Ethical and economic aspects are explored in various works, including debates over resource scarcity, environmental impacts of mining or synthesis, and the geopolitical leverage conferred by frazelor reserves. The term has also entered gaming lexicons and online encyclopedias as a generic example of a fictional advanced material.
