Icaron

Icarons are artificially created tachyon particles which were found in hyperspace. Icarons were named after Icarus.

They were useful in constructing hyperspace-capable vessels as Icarons 'preferred' to be in hyperspace; there was a much smaller energy demand placed on a ship when it entered hyperspace and no energy to remain there.

Most societies banned the development of Icarons as they caused paranoia and psychotic behavior in carbon based lifeforms. Individuals who underwent a body bepple were particularly at risk. (NA: Original Sin)
