Talk:Lanthanum

Notes (2006)

Should we add our own data here , rather than pulling up from a chemistry table of elements? Possibly add the chemical data as a non-canon entry?

A rare earth element, the first of the inner transiston metals. Vital to the construction of the inner coils of interstellar jump drive units.

This is the way I intended it. A hypothetical library database would be more like wikipedia rather than a spartain one-use list for an element. I would like to see all the elements represented this way, with high-tech traveller uses interspersed with the low-tech uses for the elements. In this case jump coils is just one more item on the list. The main issue is that there is very little data on element usage in the canon. The precautions and general overview serve as a reference in case players come across deposits or stores of the element.

Okay, I can see your point and support it fully. I guess I should have thought a little further ahead.
