Dilithium
In Star Trek Online, Dilithium is a major form of currency. Players can use dilithium to purchase various things ranging from new ships when the player reaches a new rank to new weapons (Space and ground), deflectors and shields, and via crafting materials.
It is a time-based currency (~480
per 15 minutes of gameplay according to Cryptic) in that it is obtained from certain missions, mostly repeatable every 20 hours, that require time for a player to complete. The currency is given out as dilithium ore, which must be refined (up to 8000 per day) using the ship's Inventory Asset tab.
Dilithium can only be traded to other players for Zen via the Dilithium Exchange. (Located in the More menu via the down-arrow, on the mini-map. It is also possible to set a keybind in the options menu to permit direct access via keystroke,) Trade values are restricted to 25-500 refined dilithium per Zen. (Prior to Season 6, trade value was limited to 50-500 dilithium per C-point.)

Dilithium is automatically rewarded based on the average playtime of a user-generated mission - Ca. 480

-
Once every 15 hours, the first spotlight mission completed in that time frame will get a bonus 1440
Authors of user-generated missions can also be donated 25, 50 or 100
