Corbomite definitely has its origins in Star Trek
Duranium - Metallic alloy
Neutronium - Inert - newtonian element shielding/handling material.
Corbomite
Tritanium
Boronide
Mercassium
Sorium - Energetic gas, when refined can be liquified as a fuel source
Uridium
Corundium - Mining and extraction agent
Gallicite - Engines - heat shielding or radioactivity containment?
Why would it need to be a solid on normal planets? There are gasses that are mined, or mined as a by-product of other mining operations.It wouldn't necessarily have to be. Just could be.
I'd prehaps venture that sorium could exist either as a gas or solid. I'm thinking in gas giants it would exist as a gas, but when found on a normal planet could form compounds of some sort and become solid.
