Pergium

Pergium was a radioactive element that was used by thousands of worlds as a source of energy. 

History
Pergium was used for power in 23rd century nuclear reactors such as the PXK. One key source of pergium for the was the planet Janus VI, where, in 2267, it was mined by a Federation colony in conjunction with the Horta. 

There were several pergium mines in operation in the Sappora system in the 24th century. One was owned by Yanas Tigan on Sappora VII and one by the Ferengi on Timor II. The Orion Syndicate was also working its way into the industry out of New Sydney in 2375. 

Pergium was considered a rare commodity in some areas of the Delta Quadrant. In 2373, the crew of the USS Voyager attempted to acquire pergium from Bahrat's trading station near the Nekrit Expanse, to regenerate the filters of their environmental control systems. Neelix's friend Wixiban helped to procure twenty of the forty-five kilograms they needed.
