Fullerenes are a type of Harvestable Gas Cloud found in Wormhole Space which are used in the production of Tech 3 Ships. Fullerenes are first reacted into Polymers, which are then used to manufacture Tech 3 components, and then combined into Tech 3 Hulls and Subsystems.

Types of Fullerenes

• Fullerite-C50
• Fullerite-C60
• Fullerite-C70
• Fullerite-C72
• Fullerite-C84
• Fullerite-C28
• Fullerite-C32
• Fullerite-C320
• Fullerite-C540

Reacting Fullerenes into Polymers

Several starbase structures are needed to react Fullerenes into Polymers:

• Silo - to store input mineral used in reaction
• Gas Silo - 2 of these for storing each input fullerene
• Hybrid Polymer Silo - to store output polymer
• Hybrid Polymer Reactor - for reacting input materials into polymers

In addition a reaction blueprint is needed for running the reactor. These are sold on the market in Empire systems. The types of reactions possible are:

• Fulleroferrocene
• PPD Fullerene Fibers
• Fullerene Intercalated Graphite
• Methanofullerene
• Lanthanum Metallofullerene
• Scandium Metallofullerene
• Graphene Nanoribbons
• Carbon-86 Epoxy Resin
• C3-FTM Acid
