Afloraltite
From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki
Afloraltite is a crystal that was mined on the Earth colony K-2L. Afloraltite was used to fuel the ignition module of a space ship. On K-2L, the Choujinzoku, or translated Chozo, come asking to borrow Afloraltite in a hurry. Afloraltite has flammable properties, as it is used in the ignition sequence for a ship; it has been suggested that it could also be used as an explosive weapon, as if a beam were to come in contact with it, it would cause a great explosion.
[edit] The Manga
In the Metroid (manga), Ridley and the Zebesian Space Pirates attack K-2L, the Earth Colony that Samus Aran lives in, slaughtering nearly every living thing on the colony. Rodney Aran, Samus's father, shoots the Afloraltite with a welding laser, igniting it and causing a massive explosion, destroying Ridley's ship and many of his troops. Somehow Samus survives, and Ridley manages to escape.
[edit] Trivia
- As it is never mentioned in the games it is possible that, for fuel purposes, it was replaced by Fuel Gel. It is also possible that Afloralite is in fact the crystalised form of Fuel Gel. The containers that store Afloraltite bear a strong resemblance to the Energy Cells of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, so it is possible that the Energy Cells' power comes from Afloraltite within.
