we want to RP a few things here and there. We could need some fuel and a certain device to realize our evil plans. Kruger and ALG would also benefit of the new commodities. As discussed with @GamerGirl and @Karst, we agreed to the implementation of DT-Fuel as commodity for Kruger and Thorium-MOX as commodity for ALG, while Gleipnir Devices should only be used as RP commodity for BDM. Planned is the production of small amounts of said commodities to supply a few BDM vessels and for future rp.
It might be also interesting to add further commodities like Thorium (purchasable at Planet Hammersee or minable as ore in orbit of Planet Steinfurt) and Tritium (Sold at Wuppertal Refinery). But that's up to Kruger and ALG to decide. I just deliver the ground concept.
The so called ''Gleipnir'' device, also known as nomad disruptor, is a countermeasure developed by the Büro der Marineintelligenz in the year 819 A.S. to counter the nomads and infested humans in Rheinland. It was based on readings and information the BDM were able to acquire from studying captured nomad incubi who have been separated from the mindshare during the nomad war. This portable device is capable to temporarily interrupt or completely disable the abilities of a nomad. The device releases sonic frequencies in omnidirectional paths, though the range is unknown. The frequencies block the specific portions of a nomad, which are responsible for their special abilities such as telekinesis and telepathy. Tests have shown, the device is not always reliable. The nomads are, however, able to overcome the device after some time, although it is still able to negate their abilities long enough to take them out while powerless.
Effects heavily depend on the capabilities of a nomad and are visible as soon as the device is activated, but a permanent paralysis is never guaranteed. During irradiation, some hosts have been observed to show symptoms in form of schizophrenia or unconsciousness due to a temporary paralysis of their parasite; often accompanied by headache, pale skin, sudden attack of sweating, nosebleeding, panic attacks, or even epileptic seizures. While nomads themselves often remain motionless in some kind of shock state.
DT-fuel is a mixture consisting of an equal proportion of hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium. It is mainly being used in fusion reactors to produce energy. With some technical effort it can also serve as propulsion medium in fusion engines of space crafts. Because of its technical requirements, DT based engines are not very common. Customers are therefore rather rare. So far, the Büro der Marineintelligenz has shown greatest interest in purchasing large amounts of said fuel, which turned out to be an attractive alternative to conventional H-fuel in long-term operations just as deep space recon.
DT-fuel is currently being produced by Kruger Minerals, planing to dominate the Rheinland market in near future and displace its competition - The Gas Miners Guild - in order to become independent of H-fuel supplies from Kusari. But these plans still lack of technical practicability and support from the Rheinland government. While the military is trying to prevent the open sale of said fuel. Too high is the risk of illegal purchases by criminal elements, who could use the contained tritium to build up an own arsenal of deadly explosives. Hence DT-fuel stocks are always monitored meticulously to ensure none of the exports will reach the blackmarket.

Thorium-MOX is a high-quality nuclear fuel, consisting of spherical fuel elements, filled with thorium oxide (ThO2), and plutonium oxide (PuO2) as fissile driver. Thorium oxide has excellent material properties for serving as nuclear fuel in high-temperature reactors. It has a higher thermal conductivity, has the highest melting point (3300 °C) of all known oxides, and it retains fission products better within its crystalline lattice. Thorium oxide fuels can therefore operate at higher temperatures and exhibit less fission gas release than usual uranium-MOX fuels. It is therefore recognized that thorium-MOX can operate safely to high burn-ups. ALG is currently the one and only known provider of thorium fuels, whose customers are primarily of military origin.
