Thermal Energy Retentive Fluid
Thermal Energy Retentive Fluid, or ThEng (pronounced Thenj), is a unique and volatile energy source harvested from the bodies of Akrid. It appears as an orange, gel-like material that coalesces into blobs upon removal from the Akrid’s body and can be used as a power source and form of thermal protection.
Properties
Physical & Chemical Properties
ThEng is a perfect medium for the storage of thermal energy and can store a massive amount of it in a seemingly minute quantity of the fluid. A few litres of fully saturated ThEng can provide enough energy to power a small outpost for a couple of weeks with no rationing.
Origin & Source
So far ThEng is only found as a harvested product from Akrid. This has led to the semi-commercial hunting of the creatures for it, though due to the danger of the larger variants of Akrid this industry has never truly taken off.
