Unique Resources Guide

Rare Materials of the Galaxy

Not everything of value in the galaxy can be found in the cargo holds of a trading station.

Scattered across distant worlds and deep-space asteroid fields are rare ores, refined ingots, and specialised materials—resources that can mean the difference between ordinary technology and some of the most advanced equipment available.

Many of these resources are found in dangerous or remote locations, where hostile environments, extreme conditions, and other travellers make extraction a serious undertaking.

This guide will help you discover where these rare materials can be found, how they are obtained, and what they are used for.

Some resources are essential for producing advanced equipment, while others form the foundation of specialised components and technologies found nowhere else in The Destiny Universe.

        Nexalite Ore   "If you're looking for Nexalite, you're already too far from home."

Nexalite Ore is one of the galaxy's more elusive resources. It can be found only on the violent planet Therno, deep within the Anarchy Zone.

Therno is not a world for inexperienced miners. Its extreme gravitational forces make surface operations hazardous, turning even routine mining expeditions into a fight for survival.

 Extraction

Nexalite Ore can be obtained through standard mining operations on Therno.

Finding the ore is only the beginning. Miners must contend with Therno's extreme gravity while operating their equipment and transporting their valuable haul back to safety.

 Refinement

Raw Nexalite has limited practical use in its natural state. Once extracted, it can be transported to a suitable refinery and processed into Nexalite Ingots.

Uses

Nexalite Ingots are a critical material in the production of Echo Fragments.

Echo Fragments are required for the construction of various advanced blocks and technologies, making Nexalite an important resource for anyone seeking to progress into the higher levels of technological development.

 Expedition Warning

Mining Nexalite may be profitable, but the journey is not without risk.

Therno lies within the Anarchy Zone, where the usual protections and expectations of civilised space do not apply. Prepare your ship, equipment, and cargo protection accordingly.

And remember: The greatest danger on Therno may not be the planet itself.

Radionite Ore "On Solis Dune, the sand is not the only thing that can kill you."

Radionite Ore is an extremely rare material found only on Solis Dune, a harsh and unforgiving planet located within the Delta Frontier.

Solis Dune is a world of extreme conditions, where the environment itself presents a constant threat. The presence of Radionite makes the planet worth exploring, but extracting it is not an undertaking to be taken lightly.

 Extraction

Radionite Ore can be obtained only through mining operations on Solis Dune.

Due to the hostile conditions found across the planet, miners should be properly prepared before attempting to extract the ore.

Refinement

Once extracted, Radionite Ore can be processed into Radionite Ingots, unlocking its use in more advanced manufacturing.

 Uses

Radionite Ingots are used in the production of Resist Cells.

Resist Cells are required for advanced thrusters and selected battery systems, making Radionite a valuable resource for explorers willing to venture into the Delta Frontier.

 Expedition Warning

Solis Dune is not a world to underestimate.

The journey to the planet is only the beginning. Make sure your ship is equipped for long-range operations and that you have sufficient supplies before beginning a mining expedition.

Lazirite Ore  "Solis Dune hides more than one secret beneath its surface."

Lazirite Ore is another rare resource found on Solis Dune within the Delta Frontier.

Unlike ordinary planetary resources, Lazirite is difficult to locate and requires miners to venture into the harsh environment of Solis Dune. Its presence makes the planet an important destination for explorers seeking rare materials.

Extraction

Lazirite Ore can be obtained through mining operations on Solis Dune.

The same hostile planetary conditions that make Radionite valuable also make Lazirite dangerous to extract. Proper preparation is strongly recommended before beginning a mining expedition.

Refinement

Once recovered, Lazirite Ore can be refined into Lazrium Ingots, which can then be used in specialised manufacturing.

 Uses

Lazrium Ingots are required for the construction of High Voltage Blocks and Construction Modules, making Lazrium an important material for engineers developing advanced power systems and specialised equipment.

Expedition Warning

Solis Dune contains more than one valuable resource, but every additional reason to visit the planet comes with additional risk.

The deeper you explore, the more valuable the rewards may become—and the harder it may be to return with them.

Thorium Ore "Some resources are buried beneath worlds. Others drift silently between them."

Thorium Ore is a rare resource found not on planets, but deep within asteroid fields across the galaxy.

Unlike planetary resources, Thorium requires miners to leave the safety of established worlds and search the vast regions of open space. Its scarcity makes every discovery valuable, while the isolated nature of asteroid mining can leave prospectors vulnerable to the dangers of deep space.

Extraction

Thorium Ore can be found on asteroids throughout space.

Mining operations require a suitable ship or mining platform capable of operating away from planetary infrastructure. Prospectors should be prepared to search large asteroid fields, as locating Thorium deposits may require considerable time and effort.

Refinement

Once extracted, Thorium Ore can be transported to a suitable refinery and processed into Thorium Dioxide Ingots.

Uses

Thorium Dioxide Ingots are used in the production of specialized Fuel Rods.

These Fuel Rods are an important component of advanced energy systems, making Thorium a valuable resource for engineers seeking to develop more advanced technologies.

Expedition Warning

Asteroid mining may appear safer than landing on a hostile planet, but deep space presents dangers of its own.

There are no natural shelters in open space, and a mining vessel loaded with rare materials can become an attractive target.

Search carefully. Mine efficiently. And never assume that empty space means safe space.
