# Resources

The raw materials necessary to construct anything, from a can opener to the latest Capital-Class Planet-Buster



Resources are only tradable by transporting them in Ships to friendy players or bringing them to a  Trade-Hub Station.&#x20;

**Trade-Hubs** enable you to claim the ERC-20 Tokens for trading them outside of Galaxy-Thrones confines. Tokens gained this way can be claimed at any Trade-Hub for pickup.



**ResourceTypes:**

**Metal**

Metal is one of the 3 basic resources required by all emerging and established empires for the construction of structures and ships, and researching. Metal is the primary resource used in the foundation of your Empire. At greater depths, the mines can produce more output of metal.You can use the available metal for use in the construction of buildings, ships, defense systems, and research.

**Crystal**

Crystals are one of the three basic resources that are required to progress in the game. Crystal mines supply the main resource used to produce electronic circuits and form certain alloy compounds. Mining crystal consumes some one and half times more energy than a mining metal, making crystal more valuable. Almost all ships and all buildings require cryst

**Antimatter**&#x20;

Antimatter is a highly valuable resource in the game. It is a material composed of antiparticles, which are particles that have the same mass as regular particles but have opposite charges. When antimatter comes into contact with regular matter, they annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy can be harnessed for various purposes, such as powering advanced weapons and propulsion systems for ships.

**Aether**

Aether is a recently discovered material that is still not quite understood, offering physics warping amounts of strong nuclear force at molecular lengths.&#x20;

Shiphulls constructed by this material are near-indestructible, and there is a myriad of appliances for them. The only downside is the sheer rarity of them, requiring huge deep space mining operations to recover even miniscule amounts.

Bleeding Edge Ship Designs usually incorporate a fair amount of this wonder material.

They can be transported instantenously through an equally obscure way of quantum tunneling, and  thus dont require any hauling
