Helium-3
Mesulea’s atmosphere contains helium-3 in high concentrations, especially in storm systems. This strategic resource powers aneutronic fusion reactors—smaller, less massive, more efficient than neutronic alternatives.
Mesulea’s de facto monopoly on helium-3 gives them major leverage over their rival Nuilea.
