| "Blood Dilithium" is the term coined by the crew of the [[USS Merevek|USS ''Merevek'']] to describe strange formations of dilithium crystals found in the [[Gradin Belt]] after a massive subspace phase pulse passed through the region on October 14th, 2400. Although structurally identical to naturally occurring dilithium, Blood Dilithium has been seen to emit a crimson glow; perhaps the main reason why its nickname has stuck. The extreme speed with which blood dilithium grew on the surfaces of planets, moons and other celestial bodies has hitherto been thought impossible. Growth locations have thus far only been observed in areas within five lightyears of various [[Gradin_Belt#Noted_spatial_anomalies|subspace anomalies]] in the region. Starfleet Science has put out a call for further studies on blood dilithium, particularly regarding the numerous reports of a violent terror instilled in the minds of telepathic species in close proximity to it.

| == History ==
| | *Squadron Leader: Lieutenant Commander Orys Ch'tosrik, ''(Andorian Male)'' |
| The earliest reports on the appearance of new dilithium fields in the Gradin Belt date from October 19th, 2400 following the detection of a subspace phase pulse in the region eleven days earlier. News of its appearance quickly spread throughout the galaxy, attracting government and private mining operations alike to the area in the hopes of exploiting the new resource. Rumours of the new dilithium's strange effects on telepaths quickly began to circulate.
| | *Deputy Squadron Leader: Lieutenant Varru Ina, ''(Bajoran Female)'' |

|
| On October 28th, 2400 the USS ''Merevek'' became the first Starfleet vessel to perform a detailed analysis of the new dilithium. Operating on a diplomatic liaison mission near Turei space, the Merevek quickly diverted upon detecting dilithium deposits within the accretion disc of a 10km wide neutron star. The Merevek closed to a distance of 35,000km of the collapsed star’s core to obtain adequate sensor readings. Their course took them within the accretion disc itself, at extremely close range to high concentrations of new dilithium growing upon the rocky remains of planets that once orbited the collapsed star. Captain Correth later noted in her log that as the ship inched further through the jagged rubble, all eleven telepathic members of the ship’s crew reported a slow-building sense of unease. On moving within 10,000km of the most concentrated dilithium veins, abject terror began to rip through their minds.

| <blockquote>Chief Medical Officer's log, stardate 77824.9. Photon emission tomography scans indicate patient H, a Betazoid, is suffering hyperfusion in the lateral temporal cortex. Observations are consistent with visual and auditory hallucinations arising from severe schizoaffective disorders. Symptoms alleviated only when the Merevek moved away from the dilithium field. Remarkably, structured questioning shows patient H’s experience to be nearly identical to that of the other ten patients affected. Auditory hallucinations have taken the form of a single voice of indeterminate sex, speaking in a low snarl. “Smash them all,” is the only clear statement reported.

| Blood Dilithium has so far been found only within five light-year radii of [[Gradin_Belt#Noted_spatial_anomalies|subspace anomalies]] in the [[Gradin Belt]]. The crystals have the potential to appear on any solid surface in these areas of space, including asteroids, planets, moons and artificial structures. Crystal formations can at times be extremely dense, wreaking havoc with planetary ecosystems and civilisations. All formations have appeared after the subspace wave pulse detected in the Gradin Belt on October 14th, 2400.
| | **Hound 4 - Lieutenant JG Xorin, ''(Romulan Male)'' |
| | | *''Ptolemy'' |
| The proximity of Blood Dilithium growths to spatial anomalies has led some Starfleet scientists to theorise that the subspace wave pulse has somehow weakened interdimensional spatial boundaries. While currently an extremely crude hypothesis, it is thought that the Blood Dilithium may be spreading from a realm of space outside our current knowledge.

| Blood Dilithium's effects on telepathic species is poorly understood.
