Line 18:
** Or, possibly, the even more critical phlebotinum, {{spoiler|the thought elevator}}.
* E2 energy from ''[[Another Centurys Episode]]'' and ''[[Continuity Reboot|A.C.E 2]]''
* ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' had Heaven's War, a [[Melee a Trois]] in the backstory where pretty much ''everyone'' was trying to get control of [[Not of This Earth|Heaven's Gate]] in Brazil. It only ended when [[Throwaway Country|most of South America got]]
* Shortly before the events of the main series, the world of ''[[Gundam 00]]'' was subject to the "solar power wars". When advanced solar technologies were discovered, oil suddenly became relatively worthless, leading to a number of Middle Eastern countries continually splitting apart into new ones. To harness the technology, countries needed to build space elevators, and this lead to blocs of nations forming who jealously guarded their elevators and were constantly at the brink of war with the other blocs.
Line 39:
*** That's mainly because the Kazon are [[Too Dumb to Live]]. The Borg refuse to assimilate them because of that.
* A classic ''[[Doctor Who]]'' had one of these, in the episode "The Caves of Androzani". It was over spectrox, "the most valuable substance in the universe."

* "Roadkill (...or Be Killed)" by Steelwing:

Waging war for a tank of fuel }}
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* The flammable substance promethium is critical to the war machines of at least three factions in ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'': the Orks, the Imperium, and Chaos. Expect frequent conflicts over promethium mines and refineries, since the Imperium is the only group that bothers to build them instead of just stealing the stuff from everyone else.
* ''[[Spelljammer]]'' has [[Space Whale|kindori]] fat used for e.g. lamps, and most Greek Fire made from it. As a result, kindori riders occasionally clash with space whalers; they collect and sell fat only when kindori die of natural causes, of course - the creatures that can [[Turtle_Island|carry a village]] don't reproduce like rabbits and are just too valuable.
