MolGas Fuel

MolGas Fuel‏‎

With the advent of super efficient ISAH drives (around 3600) The need for Nuc Gas derrived from Heavy Water or Ultra Heavy Water was greatly reduced as the new engines could use molecular compacted hydrogen. This greatly reduced the energy costs and process stepd in making fuel. it led to the development of on board refineries ( Mobile refineries that needed to be assembled near a sufficient source of water or ice exist for a long time but have alway been very expensive and quite unpractical for Inter Union ships fule needs.) of course very few ships Other than Explorers and long range Union fleet cruisers have onboard refineries as it is simply easiier to fuel up at fuel service providers within Union Space. The new engines also extended the reach, as less gas was needed and tank loads now allowed for greater distance. (Still maintenance cycles and calibration breaks are required even with the most advanced and modern ISAH drives)[1] MolGas is not a trade name and no one knows for sure who came up with the new name. It should be noted that the New types of ISAH engines can use the old Nuc Gas (but with greater stress on the Intermix system) While the old ISAH and similar QSSD (Quasi Space Slip Drives)are either unable to use the cheaper fuel or run at greatly reduced perfomance and reach only perhaps 5 % of regualr distance. Almost all Non Union QSSD do not work with Mol Gas.

[1] Only Union manufactured Isah Drives come with artificial made Intermix lattice magnetite crystals. All non Union Quasi space slip drives use natural crystalized Magnesite known as Kalium. Many Fringe region Union side Fuel service points carry Kalium and have vari form Lattice presses available.
