"Fuel" is fusion fuel, a rare compact substance (Helium-3) that powers fusion reactors of virtually all machinery, from farming implements to space freighters. Due to its relative ease of transport and universal usefulness, it is considered a basic exchange unit. EC are usually used as a substitute for virtual exchanges.

Obtaining
Fuel can be obtained from scouring any kind of planet, but it is most abundant in crusts of cold planetoids lacking a core. Obtaining fuel on a core-active planet would involve mass mineral processing, which usually not profitable. Fuel is also potentially available from gas giants, but that requires much higher technology.
