They are capable of containing massive amounts of energy in a stable state. Ion Crystals are used to power certain precursor devices, such as their teleporters, which will only function once an Ion Crystal has been inserted. Ion Crystals will be found in the Precursor Ground-To-Air Weapon System, the Precursor Thermal Power Generator, and many will be found in the Primary Research Facility. Five Ion Crystals will be used to create Ion Crystal Matrices. Ion Crystals can spawn as a large resource deposit.

Data Bank Entry

These alien cubes each store the equivalent energy of a small nuclear detonation. The alien technology is able to keep the stored atoms in a permanently stable state, however under the right conditions the reaction could be re-catalyzed and the energy released in a controlled manner. They were likely used as batteries, storing power generated at the main reactor and then transported wherever they were needed. Assessment: Possible source of escape-velocity energy?
