Argonite was a precious mineral found only in the fourth sector of Earth's galaxy. Argonite was discovered on planets such as Ta and Lobos, and both exploited by Dom Issigri and Milo Clancey. Space beacons were made entirely out of Argonite, and were therefore targets of the space pirate Maurice Caven. (TV: The Space Pirates)
Argonite was also mined by the Eurogen Butler Corporation on Dimetos between 2142 and 2151. (PROSE: Another Girl, Another Planet)
Behind the scenes[]
The DWU argonite is unrelated to the real world Argonite™, which is a commercial fire suppressant.
