Xenon gas is a resource that fuels ion engines. With a density of only 0.1 kg per unit is this the lightest resource after electric charge which has no mass and thus no density.
Uses
There are only three xenon gas related parts available at the moment. The PB-Ion Electric Propulsion System is an extremely efficient engine which consumes xenon and produces a minuscule amount of thrust (about half of one RCS thruster) but can run continuously for extremely long periods. The inline PB-X150 Xenon Container and the radially attached PB-X50R Xenon Container are xenon tanks which can supply the engine, which also requires large amounts of electricity.
