Fiction:Paingler/Ghevenium

(( Under construction! ))

"It was through accident, really, the discovery of this mineral but it was through the will and desire of the Third Emperor that we tamed it and subjected it to our will. His will alone enabled us to trace it back to it's source and we have to thank his direction, only, for permitting us such a thing...."

- Fifth Emperor Shengu



Ghevenium, also called Hanaghar (literally "Star-weapon" in Tun ), is a mysterious and naturally occurring mineral within the Paingler Cluster of the Cyrannus Galaxy. The Paingler Imperium is, as of yet, the only power to know of the mineral (at least actively ) and how to mine and use it. Due to it's value and it's effect when harnessed, the Imperium has taken great pains to keep it's existence - and it's value to their technology such as starships - a secret.

Ghevenium comes in numerous ( Speculated. To date, only three forms have been discovered ) forms: raw ghevenium ( the most common form ), "dust" ghevenium, refined ghevenium and "hollow" ghevenium. Regardless of form, the mineral shares the same purpose and usage.

Introduction
Welcome to the Imperial Codex! This page will outline ghevenium. '''Notice: As per Imperial law and regulation, the majority of information on ghevenium is strictly classified. Any breach in law or regulation will warrant in apprehension, incarceration and/or, depending on severity of case, execution.'''

Occurrence


To date, ghevenium deposits have only been found in the Paingler Cluster ( also synonymously called the Imperial Cluster or Imperial Space ). It was at first thought only to occur in rare falling meteorites. These meteorites were later discovered to be wayward debris of a decaying rogue planet Khafagar. The origins of the planet and how it came to be a rogue planet, or indeed which system it was ejected from, is a mystery, as is how the large amounts of the mineral are strewn across the planet, as well as on the large chunks that periodically break away. Scientists speculate that the planet formed the amount of ghevenium due to contact with an unknown energy source, which would explain the absence of "regular" resources in Khafagar's crust and core.
