Vespene gas is a type of resource used by all advanced Koprulu Sector races.
Valued for its high energy yield, the substance is mainly used as fuel or mutation material. All races use their own unique storage container for the gas: Terrans - cylindrical containers, Protoss - cubes, Zerg - organic bags, and the Vaul - hexagonal containers. Extremely volatile, the gas causes large explosions if subjected to heat or electricity.
The gas can be enriched to get greater performance out of machines if one possess technology advanced enough. Due to the mutative nature of unprocessed Vespene, the Zerg have yet to evolve a way to naturally enrich the gas. As such, they usually just raid any storage facilities they find with it as soon as possible.
