How to unlock the Antimatter Speck achievement in Rebel Galaxy - Definitive Guide

This item tends to drop rarely from Viriax ships.

If you did not pick one up during the final story line battle, fear not. Antimatter Specks can still be obtained from Viriax ships during missions obtained from stations or even distress calls. It seems they can be dropped from any ship size. Mine came from a Viriax Vampire during a distress call.

I finished the story and did not get this as a drop from any ships, so I did this:

Red Devil Cartel has a Mission called Antimatter Zero. Target is a mining craft carrying Antimatter Specks.

Red Devil Cartel also has Missions along the same lines for the other rare items

Faces of Gozu, Progenitor Shards and Antimatter Specks are rare commodities. It's possible to mine them but it's incredibly rare to find the right asteroid field, much less have the right mineral inside the asteroids. It's possible to find merchants carrying them if you scan them, but you'll need to pirate it off them to get it. There is also a pirate mission (if you follow the pirate line of side story missions) that gives you a speck to haul but it's currently unknown if that one counts for the trophy. The easiest way is to play the story and fight the enemy then eventually they will drop as loot. You can also wait for Convoys or Science Vessels, particularly when Archaeological events occur, then rob the ships.

The story introduces an alien race called the Viriax. Larger Viriax ships like their Dreadnaughts may drop them as loot and this is one of the better ways to get faces, specks and shards. Fighting Viriax Dreadnaughts, you're quite likely to get a drop.

If you do intend to go the mining route, then you need to find a special asteroid field where the asteroids are extremely large compared to even the largest ships but these can be found randomly in any system. Once you find these asteroids, you can tell that they are the special asteroids. Not only are they huge, they take upwards of 2 minutes to break, unlike normal ones which break in seconds.

Here's a picture of one of these asteroids, note the size of it, compared to the Radovich Heavy Hauler:



Unfortunately finding these fields is a matter of pure luck so you have to keep flying and hunting asteroid fields. You can accelerate this a bit by using the zoom in your system map. Find a colour patch which indicates a field and zoom in to see if you spot one of these asteroids. If not, then zoom out and find another patch. Even if you find such an asteroid field, chances are these asteroids will yield Faces of Gozu but only rarely will you get Specks and Shards.

A good chance of finding Antimatter Speck in huge asteroids in blue nebulae in the last systems where Virex ships are encountered. The necessary nebulae are located on the outskirts of systems.

A particle can be found in such asteroids.

Getting it from a Virican ship is just a dream (know that if you dropped it from the ship before you had already made all the other trophies, you are unusually lucky). An easier way to get the quest from the trade guild is to pick up the cargo from the cache - you will be sent to a huge asteroid and there will be several of them (IMPORTANT, the quest fails in any system, regardless of the presence of the Virikian race in it).

Exactly who found them in asteroids....???
Somehow it seems to me that the trophy is skippable (((I completed the story, the jump gates of course closed for the last faction, but this matter never fell to me (((no matter how much I flew, no matter who I hit, it still doesn’t fall ((( (the campaign will have to start a new plot to knock her out ((
I even started looking for something to buy in the markets - it’s always empty (((

Unlike Face of Gozu, there is no exact recipe for obtaining Antimatter Speck (and Progenitor Shard ). This item drops from destroyed ships near the end of the game, and can also be found in side missions.
