'''Promethium''' is a broad term for any form of combustible fuel in the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|6}}
The term also commonly refers to the substance used as fuel for Imperial [[flamer]] weapons, a highly volatile incendiary gel which immediately ignites on contact with oxygen. It reaches super hot temperatures. Similar to [[napalm]], the gel sticks to an individual, continuing to burn on its own accord, even underwater and in space.{{Fn|1}} It also fuels most spacecraft and vehicles, both military and civilian.{{CMEFn|1}}
In addition to this, Promethium is used to create an array of everyday necessities, ranging from dyes and plastics to pharmaceuticals and synthetic protein bars.{{CME}}
