Anti-Matter

Anti-Matter (AM): on a baryon scale, anti-matter represents the negative value of real matter. When two particles with opposite values collide, they annihilate each other, releasing photons (light), heat, and gamma rays that can then be converted into energy or trust. The main problem with AM reactors is the rarity of fuel. Anti-matter creation can only be done in particle accelerators, the most efficient of which are planet-spanning orbital rings. The second problem is anti-matter’s potency as a weapon. A simple uranium fission bomb has a yield per weight 235,000 times stronger than TNT. An AM bomb is twenty-one billion times more powerful than TNT. As such, the creation and use of AM are closely regulated by the Federal Fleet.
