<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Resource units''' ('''RUs''') are a pseudo-currency used at [[Earth Starbase]] for "buying" fuel, [[List of Flagship Modules|modules]], [[List of Ships|ships]], and crew. They represent the amount of resources available for [[The Captain]] to use in his fight against the [[Ur-Quan Hierarchy]]. Because RUs are simply a handy way for The Captain to keep track of resources, and not a true currency which is exchanged for goods and services, everything purchased at Starbase can be "sold" back at cost.<br />
<br />
You can get RUs by bringing [[List of mineral types#Mineral Values|minerals]] back to Starbase and asking Commander [[Hayes]] to unload them. Rarer elements are worth more RUs.<br />
<br />
You also get RUs by destroying enemy ships ("[[Spoils of War]]") &mdash; the scrap materials will be scavenged automatically and will be immediately available as RU. No [[Storage Bay]] is required for this. You do not get RUs when your own ships are destroyed.<br />
