Carbomite
Originally the name Captain James T. Kirk gave to a non-existent metal in order to deter an alien from destroying the USS Enterprise and her crew.
In 2265, a year after "The Carbomite Maneuver", a new and extremely rare material was discovered. It was found that when an amount was combined with chlorine trifluoride, the resulting explosion was massive compared to the amount of material needed. Fortunately, not only is the metal rare, but when it is found it is usually such only trace amounts. Carbomite is almost always found with beryllium as a 'ghost' mineral.
In 2390, Lieutenant Commander Alora DeVeau discovered large amount of carbomite on a dwarf planet named Fral while in search of the [Iconian Gateway].
