Usage
Antimatter is known to at least the United Empire of Earth, the Xi'an Empire[1] and the Vanduul as a explosive material which is used in warheads and a source of energy. Antimatter precursors and antimatter are produced in fabrics.[2][3]
Humankind
Antimatter is used by humans at least since the 28th century, apparently for ship engines.[4] An 'antimatter rush' followed the so called Glowing Age [of fusion drives].[5][6] Aberdeen Hurston designed the first antimatter warhead for it's company somewhere between the 2850s and 2912.

Trivia
- Antimatter describes a form of matter, which is composed of anti-particles. Under natural conditions, any produced anti-matter particles instantly reacts with the sourrunding particles in a process called 'annihilitation' . Despite it's name, all energy is preserved and the process creates i.e. photons.
