Primordial Jelly Material in Yonderverse | World Anvil

Primordial Jelly

One of the strangest things to populate the vast expanse of the Yonderverse is primordial jelly. This thick, gelatinous substance floats in the emptiness, waiting to be snacked on by Severins or scooped up by aliens to be used as fuel.  

Characteristics

The jelly is a thick, light-ish purple substance. Translucent, you can see somewhat well through it but everything appears purple and blurry. Inside the jelly appears to be glitter, but is actually stardust from a transitioning Sun. More dense blobs of the jelly appear darker, and they can even be so dense they become opaque.

Alien Fuel

Primordial jelly isn't the best fuel source, based purely on its scarcity, but in space it is hard to find many fuel sources. Compressor rooms are built to make the jelly much more dense, so when it is fired out of the back of spaceships, it propels it further forwards. Special suckers on the sides of the ships will suck any primordial jelly they pass, which shoots them directly into the compressors.

Trade

Primordial Jelly is quite valuable in market stalls throughout the Yonderverse. One can often find a few jars of this jelly on a market stall sold at a relatively high price.
Despite its rarity for planet-bound people, it isn't really valued for them either, since it is mostly used for spacecraft fuel. A famous Harmonid Beast Tamer called Uhara currently has 7 severins, all of which require a decent amount of jelly to live, is notorious for purchasing all the jelly she can.

Great article Mochi! Just a random thought though: if the compressors shoot out condensed jelly, why not build a "Sucker" that takes in recently shot out jelly, essentially generating an infinite amount of fuel? Or do some properties get lost in the compressor so that the jelly in unusable?
