50 Acceletron Ore

Acceletron is a rare metal with very peculiar characteristics. Being a humble historian, I won't pretend to understand how this super-dense metal is used. But I do know a few interesting things about this so called "radio-inactive" metal.

First of all, acceletron is only found near the center of planet Techtron. There is no other known source for this ore in the Milky Way. One explanation for this is that there were extraordinary gravitational forces and unknown chemical elements during the formation of the planet. Techtronians believe that the hand of their Creator is responsible for placing acceletron in the heart of their planet.

Second, the metal is used as fuel for ultraluminar engines. In theory, these engines allow spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light. I don't know exactly how, but the ultraluminar engine allows a ship to temporarily become a black hole. This means that the ship can instantly travel and show up anywhere it wants to.

Third, ultraluminar travel technology is only experimental and requires very special equipment. Our kind is currently conducting research with this technology on planet Earth. Therefore, our mission is to land on Techtron and load three containers filled with acceletron ore and bring the cargo back to Earth.
