Just because I don't know how to balance a tantalus drive core, it doesn't mean I'm an idiot. I couldn't give a damn about nefarious purposes, I just want intel.
[If one of you jerks builds a superweapon, or a way offworld, she doesn't want to be left out of the loop. It's much harder to deal with, and usually involves hurting people.]
It's a rare element, you see it in asteroid belts and sometimes rarely on terrestrial planets. If you refine it, and run a current through it, it alters the effects of gravity on whatever's inside the resulting mass effect field. It's the basis for the drive core of any ship capable of interstellar travel.
