Iridium is a dense, very hard, brittle, silvery-white transition metal of the platinum family, and is the most corrosion-resistant element known to exist. It is used in multiple commercial applications, from increasing the efficiency of polymers, creating high-temperature alloys for use in fusion reactors and other high-temperature environments, to the production of antimatter and antimatter based weapons. It is a very rare material and its only known abundant source is in the Omicron Delta system.
Ore is a type of rock that contains minerals such as metals which can be extracted through mining and refined for use. The ores must be processed to extract the metals of interest from the waste rock and from the ore minerals. Many organizations prefer to receive unsmelted ores in order to keep the additional cost of their production and finish within the local economy, as opposed to paying markups to foreign laborers to do the work for them.
