Fuel Cells are the main power source used on Arrakis, and it is required to operate vehicles. Harvesters and Ornithopters require Fuel Cells, and buildings like the Refinery and the Airfield also depend on this Resource. Unlike other Resources, Fuel Cells are not tradable among opposing Factions in Dune: Spice Wars.
