As found in the records of 3209:
"(...) The way Crole build their space ships is most curious, as they're basically made of three types of material: Wood, Glass and a unknown substance the Crole call 'Camia'.It seems to flash in various colours and it's properties are really simillar to those of magnetic fields.This sort of 'energy' is also what almost literally 'glues' the parts of ship: there is no metal, bolts or anything like that present.'Camia' is also what composes the two main 'engines' of their ship, making them very similar to helicopters.When asked to describe with english words we taught 'em, the Croles gave a definition that only had one simillar match in our language, and that word wasn't use since times immemorial: 'magic'.The Crole also have a legend that says 'When Camia is over, the first pilot will come back to bring us more'.Does that mean that 'Camia' is actually extracted from somewhere?All we know for know is that they all look to the stars as if the so-called 'first pilot' is watching them, waiting for the right time.
