Fuel Gel is a flammable energy source found on the planet Bryyo. Fuel Gel is the main fuel used in Galactic Federation spacecraft,[1] making Bryyo a very important planet for the Galactic Federation.

Fuel Gel is extremely rare, and worlds that produce it tend to be quite prosperous. The exeption to this is Bryyo, a Federation protectorate and the largest supplyer 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 precense 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. [1]

Fuel Gel is not harmful to all lifeforms. Gel Rays are known to reside in pools of hot Fuel Gel and Scorchbugs consume it for nutrition.
