"Blood Dilithium" is the term coined by the crew of the USS Merevek to describe strange formations of dilithium crystals found in the Gradin Belt after a massive subspace phase pulse passed through the region in October, 2400. Physically identical to naturally occurring dilithium in every way, the extreme speed with which blood dilithium grew on the surfaces of planets, moons and other celestial bodies was hitherto thought impossible. Growth locations have thus far only been observed in areas within five lightyears of various 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.
