{{Confuse|Hydrogen Fuel}}
'''Fuel''' consumed by conventional [[ships]] consists of [[Hydrogen Fuel|hydrogen]], which is fed into a ship's [[Power Plant]] and fused into helium under high pressure and temperature, thereby generating the energy necessary to run shipboard systems and weapons. When a ship activates its [[Frame Shift Drive]], a large quantity of fuel is consumed all at once at the moment a jump to [[hyperspace]] begins, after a brief charging period. Ships can replenish their fuel supply at [[station]]s with the Refueling service, or by skimming [[wikipedia:Main sequence|main sequence]] [[stars]] with a [[Fuel Scoop]]. The average price of fuel is roughly 50 [[Credits|CR]] per metric ton. Prices vary based on location as well as the supply and demand of hydrogen fuel at that location. Note that [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carriers]] require an alternate fuel called [[Tritium]] to undertake hyperspace jumps.

Fuel and the [[Commodities|commodity]] [[Hydrogen Fuel]] aren't interchangeable: one can't transfer cargo to the [[Fuel Tank]] nor vice versa. On the contrary, [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carriers]] require an alternate fuel, the commodity [[Tritium]], to undertake hyperspace jumps.
