Natural Elements

Astatine- Astatine is an element, number 85 on the periodic table. The marshes of an M-Class planet, about 160 million kilometers from Orellius Minor in the Alpha Quadrant, were filled with astatine deposits. Astitine causes duonetic fields, resulting in equipment failures.

Bilitrium- Naturally occurring. A rare crystalline element which can be an incredible source of energy if hooked up to an anti-matter converter.

Boridium- Artificially generated by crew. Used as a power generator or converter in compact machines and devices.

Calendenium- Naturally occurring. chemical, possibly an element

Carbrodine- Origin unknown. When mixed with infernite, becomes explosive.

Deuridium- Naturally occurring. Found as deposits in asteroid fields.

Deuterium- Naturally occurring. Isotope of hydrogen, having twice the mass of ordinary hydrogen, also called heavy hydrogen

Dicoromium- Naturally occurring. An element that makes up part of the molecular structure of a gaseous creature, possibly allowing the creature to exist in a state on the border between matter and energy and avoid weapons fire by moving itself through time.

Dilithium- Naturally occurring. Focuses energy into highly concentrated form. Necessary for the operation of warp drives, and a vital part of a starship's power system.

Dolamide- Origin unknown. Used in power generators, reactors, and short-range transporters. If pure enough, it can be made into weapons.

Felicium- Naturally occurring. A substance produced from plants by the people of Brekka and exported to Ornara.

Fistrium- Naturally occurring. Refractory metal found in caves of Melona IV.

Fortanium- Naturally occurring.

Ilium 629- Naturally occurring. A by-product of the geological decay of dilithium.

Infernite- Origin unknown. When mixed with carbrodine, becomes explosive.

Iridium- Naturally occurring. A heavy element of the platinum group.

Jakmanite- Naturally occurring. Like invidium, jakmanite cannot be detected by internal sensors. Exists in oxygen environment, and like invidium, can alter advanced structures like glass.

Jevonite- Naturally occurring. Valuable gemstone found on Cardassia.

Kedion- Naturally occurring. Resets positronic matrices.

Kelbonite- Naturally occurring. Refractory metal found in caves of Melona IV.

Koranium- Origin unknown. Subspace element used in Klingon warp drives.

Neodilithium- Naturally occurring. A different form of dilithium.

Neutronium- Naturally occurring. Matter composed of densely-packed neutrons, held together by gravity. The material neutron stars are made of.

Pergium- Naturally occurring. Used to regenerate enviromental controls filters.

Preanimate Matter- Naturally occurring. Matter that is very, very, very, close to being classified as a form of life, but doesn't quite make the grade.

Promethean Quartz- Naturally occurring. Valuable mineral that glows with an internal light.

Roginium- Naturally occurring. Hardest substance known to science.

Rubindium- Origin unknown. A nontoxic crystalline substance.

Salskinum- Origin unknown. Can alter molecular structure when it comes into contact with glass and exist in a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere.-

Sarium- Origin unknown. Can store large amounts of energy.

Selanogen- Naturally occurring. A substance, as carbon is, upon which a form of life is based.

Selgnineam- Origin unknown. Highly toxic; can alter molecular structure when it comes in contact with glass and exists in a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. (Try spelling it backwards! This was confirmed by one of the writers at a con.)

Tellerium- Origin unknown. Crystal used to stabilise the harmonic reactions inside the dilithium chamber of Voyager's matter/antimatter power reactor.

Thalium- Naturally occurring. Thalium compound is found in rocks. It interferes with Federation sensors.

Titanium- Naturally occurring. Naturally occurring element, present in limited quantities on Earth. Used in alloys to strengthen metal and in the construction of the "Blackbird" spyplane.

Trillium 323- Naturally occurring. A mineral substance.

Trimagnesite- Naturally occurring. A substance that reacts with trevium to produce non-visible, ultra violet radiation.

Tritium- Naturally occurring. A radioactive isotope of hydrogen with atoms of three times the mass of ordinary light hydrogen atoms

Venderite- Naturally occurring. An extremely valuable element or mineral to the Ferengi.

Yominium Sulfide- Origin unknown. The name is derived from "Nimoy" spelled backwards.

Zenite- Zenite is a mineral that is useful in countering plant diseases. It is found only on Ardana in soft ore material, and hand removal is the preferred method of mining. However, the Ardanans were apparently unaware that the mineral in its raw state has an undesirable by-product: it emits a colorless and odorless gas that temporarily impairs synaptic functions, stunting the subject's intelligence and emotional control. When the subject is removed from a high concentration of the gas, brain functions return to normal. This medical problem was discovered by Dr. Leonard McCoy, who also learned that a simple air filter is sufficient to prevent exposure. However, the Ardanans were reluctant to accept these facts, and only after concerted diplomatic efforts did they agree to take prescribed safety precautions for mining. (TOS: "The Cloud Minders") It is possible that the planet's aristocratic population was aware of the problem and used it to subjugate the Troglytes. The Enterprise pushed the issue and forced Ardana to confront the problem officially.
