| The mineral was discovered and subsequently described during a 3582PT survey of the tomb world of [[system:Kannavax#Kannavax III|Kannavax III]] in [[sector:Wesrix's Sector]], whose atmosphere was stripped away and biosphere sterilised by a nearby supernova in 530BE. The [[Dominion]] scientific crew that discovered it was a diverse multidisciplinary team, and were able to work out its effects on biochemical reactions as well as the solvent mix to incorporate it into pharmaceuticals before they finished their 1-year survey. Yuallon, the lead scientist on the expedition, is regarded by the [[Tulaki Ecclesiocracy]] to have ascended upon her death to the Court of [[Dekal the World-Shaper]]. | The mineral was discovered and subsequently described during a 3582PT survey of the tomb world of [[system:Kannavax#Kannavax III|Kannavax III]] in [[sector:Wesrix's Sector]], whose atmosphere was stripped away and biosphere sterilised by a nearby supernova in 530BE.

| Fermite is a hydrous fermium aluminium phosphate hydroxide mineral with a rare tetragonal trapezohedral crystallography. It forms vitreous green to bluish green to white to colorless crystals, masses, and fibrous encrustations. | Fermite is a hydrous fermium aluminium phosphate hydroxide mineral with a rare tetragonal trapezohedral crystallography.

| It occurs within phosphatic nodules that have been bombarded with high-energy particle radiation for prolonged periods, generating fermium-257 within the mineral precursors. With the requirement for radiation to form, it is most commonly found on planets with thin or absent atmospheres, in meteorites or in the crust of planets with very high concentrations of radioactive elements in their geosphere. | It occurs within phosphatic nodules that have been bombarded with high-energy particle radiation for prolonged periods, generating fermium-257 within the mineral precursors.

| Despite this requirement, samples of fermite can occasionally be found on habitable worlds. Geophysicists have theorised that this is a result of pinpoint irradiation of a planet's geosphere by distant tight-beam pulsars. | Despite this requirement, samples of fermite can occasionally be found on habitable worlds.

| - | Fermite is a type of [[Exotic Compound]] - a [[Science Substances|Science Substance]] related to [[Corporeal Science]]. A physrep of some kind of mineral can be used to represent measures of this substance, small mineral samples can represent one or two measures, while larger physrep samples can hold more. Ideal fermite physreps are a milky white colour, but this is not required. | + | Fermite is a type of [[Exotic Reagent]] - an [[Exotic Substances|Exotic Substance]] related to [[Corporeal Science]].

| A measure of Fermite can be applied to any single measure of an injectable pharmaceutical. Applying a measure of this substance will speed up the injectable's effects, halving all times and durations. This can make healing chemicals work faster, as well as deadly poisons. It also shortens the duration of beneficial substances - anything with a duration of an event will instead only last a single day, while anything that lasts until the end of the day will last only half that long (check how many hours you have left until time out, and then half that number). | A measure of Fermite can be applied to any single measure of an injectable pharmaceutical.
