| Fermite is an unusual and rare mineral, the crystal structure of which acts as a stabiliser for the radioactive element Fermium. Fermite has unusual properties that affect interactions many chemicals have with organic tissue. | Fermite is an unusual and rare mineral, the crystal structure of which acts as a stabiliser for the radioactive element Fermium.

| - | 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 [[immortal spirits#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.

| The source of this stabilising effect is unknown. It is thought that the precise position of the phosphate ions in fermite's crystal lattice constrains the Fermium-257 nucleus and prevents alpha-particle emission somehow. A number of experiments have been carried out in the last few centuries to introduce other unstable isotopes to the stabilising structure of fermite, allowing them to last for more than a few seconds. So far, success has been limited at best. | The source of this stabilising effect is unknown.
