Ore



Ore is a mixture of materials from which minerals could be refined.

In early 2153, the Seleya made it into the Delphic Expanse and entered an asteroid field to mine trellium ore and refine it into trellium-D. 

Topaline ore could disrupt sensors. 

Ore ships called on the lithium cracking station on Delta Vega in the 23rd century. 

In 2262, the SS Beagle became disabled near the System 892, when it suffered damage from a meteor storm. R.M. Merik and a landing party beamed down to the fourth planet of the system to look for iridium ore for repairs. 

In 2266, a yellowish magnetic ore from Alfa 177 was accidentally introduced into the transporter system of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). The ore caused the transporter to divide lifeforms and material into two objects which were visually identical, but intrinsically different. 

The Woden was an old-style automated Federation ore freighter destroyed in 2268. 

A scanning device was kept in the transporter room of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) to detect any possible contaminants caused by ores not filter out in the transport process. 

Regula, described as a "great rock in space" with a few "unremarkable ores," was also a class D planet. 

The planet Stakoron II reportedly had high deposits of miszinite ore. In 2369, the Ferengi opened negotiations with the Stakorons to obtain some of the ore. 

In 2370, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) was in the Ufandi system looking for the Duras sisters. Riker believed that they'd gone there to sell the ore they mined on Kalla III. 

On both Terok Nor of the "prime" universe and the $𝜇$ of the mirror universe, ore was mined in ore processing centers. 

In 2371, the Xhosa hauled a load of duridium ore to Solais V. 

In the 24th century, the freighter was often used to transport ore. 

In 2377, the con artist Gar also stole twenty kilograms of iridium ore from a Telsian mining operation. 

Nocona's species mined various asteroid fields for its ore.
