Clouzon-36

Clouzon-36 was a type of blue-green gas that was used as a hyperdrive fuel for starships. It was also inhaled by vacuum-based lifeforms such as grallocs and purrgil, the latter of which used it to power their natural ability to jump into hyperspace.
==Description==
Clouzon-36 was a rareTechnor: Treason but powerful fuel; according to Marinette Dupain-Cheng, one decent-sized shipment of Clouzon-36 was enough to keep the entire fleet of the Phoenix Cell fully fueled for a whole cycle. Standard starship sensors had trouble identifying the gas at a distance, making it difficult to locate spills or deposits.
Clouzon-36 conduits on starships were generally well armored to prevent leakage, though they were sometimes exposed as a result of starship combat.Alphabet Squadron Containers of the gas were identifiable by markings of red-yellow-red-white-red.
Although species such as humans and Lasats could not breathe in Clouzon-36, Rodians and Moyn could.
==History==
During the Imperial Era, hijacked Clouzon-36 was on the permanent watchlist of the Imperial Security Bureau. In 2001, the crew of the Ghost raided the Mining Guild's Asteroid Belt Gas Refinery, hoping to steal Clouzon-36 to replenish the Phoenix Cell's fuel supplies.
In his corrupt scheme to steal components of the Project Stardust, Grand Admiral Balanhai Savit employed Clouzon-36 canisters to attract grallocs to his freighters, allowing their crews to feign hyperdrive malfunctions and escape the system. The discovery of trace amounts of the gas in a dissected gralloc's stomach contributed to the exposure of the scheme by Grand Admiral Technor.
During her hunt for the 204th Imperial Fighter Wing, Lieutenant Yrica Quell discovered trace amounts of Clouzon-36 in the atmosphere of Jiruus; the presence of the hyperdrive fuel indicated a significant battle there.
