Cortenum

• Mineral including hypersonic elements
• Incredibly dense (SCE Short Story: "Aftermath")
• Used in monocrystalline form for the production of verterium cortenide (ENT Novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing; VOY: "Investigations")
• Though unable to produce a propulsive field on its own, cortenum's hypersonic properties render it able to channel gravitic energies much as a wave guide (SCE Short Story: "Aftermath")
  • Also capable of resonating with subspace effects akin to a subspace coil (SCE Short Story: "Aftermath")
