Magna

About
Magna, the manufactured energy harvested from Proton Stars, is the product of a conductive liquid substance that when broken down to its smallest molecule regenerates electrons back to a positive state. The newly discovered energy source launched humanity in Space at an accelerated rate. The "lighting in a bottle", as it is modernly described as, was found to be highly radioactive. All organic life forms exposed for more than just a few minutes to its harmful radiation ran the risk of contracting Acute Radiation Poisoning which proved to be incurable and often fatal. Aluminum II lining was developed which allowed for low level, non fatal exposure to 98% of all lifeforms.

Usage
The now available energy source led to the commercialization of Space Travel and development of off world colonies. The formation of the United Nations and it's eventual umbrella branch of space police, DFIN, curated the distribution of Magna as an permanent resource to the populace. The liquid substance was processed and implemented into infrastructures all over Earth.

It not only drastically improved the lives of billions of people all over the world, it was the driving force behind the initiative to advance humanity deep into the cosmos. The utilization of Magna's near infinite energy as a fuel source, led to the birth of Quantum Drive Engines. This technological wonder made space travel 1000x faster. Due to Magna lacking much density, large Cargo ships and Carrier Transports were able to store as much "fuel" as the destination required. The United Nations used Magna to develop advanced weapons and large transport Carriers capable of planetary travel.

Magna based weapons replaced standard munitions and the dependency on explosive chemicals. Kevlar and heavy body armor was slowly replaced with Captive energy shields. And mankind was fresh on the heels of establishing off world colonies in space and on Moons throughout the Solar System.

Over the course of 50 years, Magna powered everything mechanical from entire continents to large structures in space. Many scientists agree that the discovery and utilization of Magna saved planet Earth from the harsh emissions of burning natural fuels.
