Ekti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Saga of Seven Suns novels written by Kevin J. Anderson, ekti is a fictional allotrope of hydrogen which is used to power the Ildiran stardrive, the only feasible method of interstellar travel at the start of the series.
Ekti is harvested from gas giants using skymining plants. These plants are usually manned by Roamers, but occasionally by Ildirans.
