Travaxite

Travaxite is a rare material mined from asteroid clusters, mostly found in the territory of the Zevstan Legion. It has the extremely useful property of increasing in apparent mass when combined with antimatter. This reaction is extremely unstable, and the reactants usually fissile out in a couple of seconds. This is occasionally used for offensive purposes, but it is usually used in Travaxite Charges to supplement hyperdrives by creating a temporary gravity well.

Travaxite can also be combimed with a catalyst called Arygoin, which causes a similar reaction. This reaction is far more stable, and lasts much longer, however it has a dramatically reduced effect, making it perfect for use in artificial gravity.

but this dramaticly mutes the increased mass effect. This makes the reaction perfect for use in artificial gravity.

Travaxite's uses in conventional weaponry are limited, due to its malleability and relative rareness, however it has occasionally been used in an alloy called Travakma.
