Icaron

Icarons are artificially created tachyon particles which are native to hyperspace. Icarons were named after Icarus.

They are useful in construction hyperspace capable vessels as Icarons 'prefer' to be in hyperspace, thus there is a much smaller energy demand placed on a ship when it enters hyperspace and no energy to remain there.

Most societies ban the development of Icarons as they cause paranoia and psychotic behavior in carbon based lifeforms. Individuals who have under gone a body bepple are particularly at risk. (NA: Original Sin)
