Onnesium

Onnesium is a rare element, atomic number 118, mildly radioactive and a proven room temperature superconductor.

Description (Specifications)

Onnesium, one of the stable Superheavy elements, is normally found as small, silvery spheres embedded within meteoric nickel-iron.

• Created within supernovae, onnesium is plated onto asteroidal surfaces, and can eventually be discovered in free-floating or in impact craters upon planetary surfaces.

History & Background (Dossier)

Recent discoveries in the Gavza (Reaver's Deep 1117) system have suggested that a supernova at Reavers' Deep 1118 may have spread onnesium to several nearby systems within the Scotian Deep Subsector.

• Onnesium has also been discovered in the Talak system, Talak (Far Frontiers 1537) on the world of Vahjdi (world). The system is currently undergoing a civil war, making mining operations difficult at best.

Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)

Onnesium is a very rare element and is only found on a handful of systems and worlds within Charted Space.
