'''Methalon''', also known as '''methalon hyper-freeze''',{{Fn|1b}} is a liquid that can kept at near absolute zero temperatures. It's often used by the [[Imperium]] as method to store organic matter in a form of cryo-stasis or to keep an individual in a form of suspended animation.{{Fn|1a}} It can also be used in a way to flash-freeze organic matter into a long-term means of preservation and storage.{{Fn|22a}}
Containers utilising methalon will billow super-chilled white gas when opened. These heavy vapours continuously stream down from exhaust vents or other openings. Chilled rooms or other areas designated for hyper-freeze storage often have a thick methalon fog swirling across their floors.{{Fn|1a}}
