These valuable metal ingots are used as a medium of exchange, primarily outside of the Federation. Liquid at room temperature, latinum is typically suspended in ingots of gold, which come in standard sizes for ease of trade.

Latinum is used primarily for trade and during the development and research of new technologies.

Latinum is extracted from latinum nebulae by mining ships. Harvesting latinum from nebulas is possible by sending a mining ship into a latinum-rich nebula and instructing it to harvest. Once it has completel filled its storage bays, it will head toward a starbase to drop off its load before returning to the nebula. Full latinum freighters are very vulnerable when carrying these volatile metals and can be spotted by the gaseous trail they leave behind.

Note: The Borg have no use for latinum, and this resource will not appear on the screen when playing as this race.
