	It was through a matter of good fortune that the Fleet comprises of many ships that provide the raw materials needed for generating food products. Most of these ships were freighters that were making their routine commercial runs between Colonial ports-of-call, much like America's interstate trucking system delivers goods between cities. Some ships, such as the ''[[Kimba Huta]]'', carried actual foodstuffs such as meat. Others, such as ''Galactica'' and the ''[[Celestra (RDM)\|Celestra]]'' were built for long-term spacefaring.

	==The Tylium Question==		==The Tylium Question==

	[[Tylium]] is a curious substance in the universe where the Twelve Colonies resides. Used by both Colonials and ~~their foes~~, tylium has the properties of a mineral or fossil fuel in as that the substance is mined and refined. Like some fossil fuels, tylium isn't useable until refined. While the ore can't be detonated, its precursor (similar to refined crude oil before its refinement into gasoline and other products) is very explosive. The fuel itself isn't as explosive as precursor, however.		[[Tylium]] is a curious substance in the universe where the Twelve Colonies resides.

While the ore can't be detonated, its precursor (similar to refined crude oil before its refinement into gasoline and other products) is very explosive.

	So, is tylium a made-up substance or would it have a counterpart or comparative substance to the elements we know of here on the real-world Earth?		So, is tylium a made-up substance or would it have a counterpart or comparative substance to the elements we know of here on the real-world Earth?

	One speculation is that tylium can possibly be similar to Helium-3 <ref name="helium3">See [[~~Wikipedia:~~Helium-3\|Wikipedia's article on Helium-3]] and [http://www.asi.org/adb/02/09/he3-intro.html this article] by a private firm on the concept.</ref>. Helium-3 is a primordial component in the Earth's crust, is deposited via solar wind on moons and asteroids. But, while helium-3 has potential as an energy source, the amount of energy needed to ignite it (fusion) would be more than the energy it would expel for use as an energy by-product.

But, while helium-3 has potential as an energy source, the amount of energy needed to ignite it (fusion) would be more than the energy it would expel for use as an energy by-product.

	There is a problem with this speculation in that helium-3 is a gas, not a mineral or solid element. A tylium counterpart should be a solid, non-radioactive, and likely non-organic substance. Coal would fit the tylium concept were it not a fossil fuel, which would suggest that life forms existed and died on the celestial bodies where the substance is mined. Perhaps another element from the Periodic Table could be a counterpart of tylium.		There is a problem with this speculation in that helium-3 is a gas, not a mineral or solid element.

	Tylium could be an exotic primordial compound. Research by astronomers, spectrographic analysis among them, has found compounds which do not normally form on Earth, but are formed and stabilized within the unique conditions of space. Tylium could be one such compound, which would in part explain why the Colonial scouts were looking at asteroid belts rather then planets to find it. Tylium could be a primordial compound that is destabilized on contact with other elements, such as oxygen, that are commonly found on terrestrial worlds.
