Fuel

A rhydonium canister

"The fleet's only got eighteen hours of fuel left. We gotta hurry."

―Finn to Rose Tico

Fuel was a type of material used to power vehicles. Starships, such as the Ghost, were powered by fuel. During the Nihil conflict, fuel was very expensive for civilians. The Wookiee planet Kashyyyk hosted an oil refinery, which was a critical location during the Battle of Kashyyyk. Fuel prices heavily rose during the galactic recession of c. 9 ABY.

Types

Starship fuel

Types of starship fuel in the galaxy included rhydonium, a volatile type of fuel found on the planet Abafar, baradium nitrate, deuterium, ipsium, found exclusively on Ipsidon, kessoline, mined on Kessel Malastarian fuel, megonite, Nergon-14, rippinnium, sodium, tibanna, and Zylium 12.

Some fuels were used specifically to power hyperdrive engines, such as the ultra-efficient coaxium and Clouzon-36.

Light fuel

Some types of fuel were used to create lighting, either through their ignition in lanterns or by powering lamps. Those included bloggin-oil, harvested from the bloggin of Jakku and Neehwa oil.

Specialized fuels

Some exotic types of fuel were used to power highly specialized devices. Those were accelerite and Conflagrine-14, both highly flammable and used in flamethrowers, hydro-glycolic fuel, used to power astromech droids, and paralene, used to power jetpacks.

In culture

Podracers believed that consuming engine fuel brought good luck, leading to a tradition of pilots drinking a cup of the liquid just before a race.
