Fuel Gel is a flammable energy source found on the planet Bryyo, originally discovered by Bryyonian Lords of Science.[1] Fuel Gel is the main fuel used in Galactic Federation spacecraft, making Bryyo a very important planet for the Galactic Federation.[2]
Production and Piracy
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.
The sheer value of Fuel Gel is very attractive, and has led to an uprise of piracy over the past 20 years (from the events of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption). 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.[2]
Source of Nutrition
Fuel Gel is not harmful to all lifeforms. Gel Rays are known to reside in pools of hot Fuel Gel. Scorchbugs and other small lifeforms consume it for nutrition.[3][4]
Logbook
Trivia
- The Metroid manga introduced a similar substance used as fuel as well known as Afloraltite, this substance, however, seems to have been replaced by Fuel Gel.

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)
- ↑ "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)
