A lightweight, strong, but malleable metal mined exclusively in the region of space around Caspia and Yariz. Olum means shadow in Sarian, and the metal is so named for its lightweight properties, as well as a few other peculiar characteristics. It is found in the strata of a clay, called Olumar, on several asteroids and moons throughout the star systems in this region of space, and when separated from the clay through electrolysis, it settles into clumps, called pugs, of oluminia and a heavy, dense paste comprised of olumart powder. The powder is actually used further as one of the primary ingredients for a trademark Caspian alloy called Olumic.
