Antimatter

Antimatter is matter consisting of antiparticles, which have the same mass as the ordinary particles but opposite properties. It is very costly to produce and store (in antimatter pods) but wins its energy back when used in an annihilation process in an AAR.

Production
Antimatter is produced by concentrating vacuum energy into a single point known as a "void point". This point will then radiate large amount of virtual particlepairs (anti and normal) which can be then harvested. The void point requires a constant stream of void flux though and it also deforms gravity, which means largescale antimatter production has to take place in very remote and empty locations in space. The void flux is channeled into the void point through a flux tunnel, that 'sucks' vacuum energy from space. Maintaining the void point also costs very large amounts of energy. The complete machine is known as an Antimatter Void Harvester. Usually the energy input is around 30% the potential antimatter energy output. The produced antimatter is usually stored in two ways, in antimatter pods or in antimatter capsules. Antimatter pods can usually store up to 100 kg of antimatter and a capsule usually only 1 miligram.
