Elerium (Apocalypse)

"Since its introduction during the first Alien invasion, Elerium has proved to be an essential power source for interplanetary travel and military use. It is mined from distant planetary systems and transported back to Earth where its rarity ensures a high price. Tiny quantities contained in small pods fetch a high price. Corporations store pods in preference to gold because the stability of its value is guaranteed."

Elerium

Size: 1 × 1 Weight: 6 Manufacturer: Solmine Available: Week 1 Base Price: $20 Minimum Weekly Stock: 180 Maximum Weekly Stock: 800 Battlescape Score: 3

Note: Elerium exists ingame only as Elerium Pods and Elerium 115.

Market quantities are generous and stock would rarely become scarce since exotic vehicle weapons are usually researched (no ammunition used) when many Lineage Plasma Cannons may start to be used.
Elerium is only used as ammunition for craft weapons:

Air

• Rendor Plasma Gun.
• Lineage Plasma Cannon.
• Plasma Multi-System.

Road

• Plasma Turret Cannon.

Elerium Pods are found in every building within Mega-Primus except Cult Of Sirius' Temples, when raiding. All elerium pods which have been acquired (picked up by an agent or recovered at successful completion of the raid) will become 150 units of Elerium-115 immediately at mission end, which will then become cargo (a cargo module must be present on the vehicle which carried your troops to the building for raiding). A single elerium pod is valued at $3,000, the second most expensive 1x1 (used inventory space) item in the game.
