An uridium ore processor on Terok Nor
Uridium is an unstable mineral used in Cardassian ship construction. Generally, uridium alloy is used in their ship's sensor arrays. (DS9: "Indiscretion").
In it's raw form, uridium can explode if exposed to an electrical charge. The Cardassian mining station Terok Nor was used to extract and process uridium from Bajor during the Cardassian Occupation. (DS9: "Civil Defense")
- Uridium is possibly named for a 1980s Commodore 64 video game of the same name. The gameplay was mostly based on real metallic elements, except a developer had mistakenly thought "uridium" was a real element -- and that became the game's name.
