'''Fuel Gel''' is a flammable energy source found on the planet [[Bryyo]], originally discovered by [[Bryyonian]] [[Lords of Science]].<ref>{{cite|Forgotten in exile, a creature of myth, I, the last Lord of Science, worked tirelessly to protect myself and this world.

I vowed to atone for the devastation inflicted upon Bryyo, caused by both science and war. Yet, while I toiled, the Primals slipped slowly into barbarism. With no Science Lords to hunt, they turned on each other, tribe against tribe.

Fuel Gel is extremely rare, and worlds that produce it tend to be quite prosperous. The exception to this is Bryyo, a Federation protectorate and the largest supplier of Fuel Gel. Proceeds from Bryyonian gel sales go directly to the Federation military forces protecting that sector of space, where the Federation has established such a strong presence that the entire system has been dubbed the [[Federation Solar System]]. | Fuel Gel is extremely rare, and worlds that produce it tend to be quite prosperous.

At the time Samus visited the planet in ''Corruption'' raids on gel transport convoys were common, especially in frontier regions of space. The Galactic Federation has increased antipiracy operations, and planets with Fuel Gel resources are protected by Federation fleets and ground forces.<ref name="Logbook"/> | ||

==Source of Nutrition== | |||
Fuel Gel is not harmful to all lifeforms. [[Gel Ray]]s are known to reside in pools of hot Fuel Gel. [[Scorchbug]]s and other small lifeforms consume it for nutrition.<ref name="Gel Ray">{{cite|Gel Rays are nonaggressive bioforms native to Bryyo. They are one of the few creatures who make their home within the caustic pools of Fuel Gel. The unique exterior and shape of the Gel Ray allow it to withstand and glide through rivers of gel. Their main source of sustenance is small organisms that exist within Fuel Gel, but they are known to occasionally leap out to feed on insects that fly near the gel's surface.|Logbook - Gel Ray|''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]}}</ref><ref name="Scorchbug">{{cite|Scorchbugs are exclusively found on Fuel Gel-producing planets such as Bryyo. The tiny insects subsist entirely on the volatile gel. Like many creatures with this diet, they have taken on the ignitable characteristics of their food source. When shot with any type of weaponry, they burst into a small explosion, leaving behind only a scorch mark. It is from this trait that they have earned their name.|Logbook - Scorchbug|[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]}}</ref> | |||
