So how did 'they' get the bit of neutron star in the first place (I presume it was not Egrorian)?
Egrorian says (when Avon asks him) that netrons are used in the tachyon funnel. Maybe he had some left over when he was finished builind it? ;-)

From what I know of astronomy it is 'slightly difficult' to get away from a neutron star.
I'd always assumed that Egrorian had manufactured some neutronium (the ultradense matter of which neutron stars are mostly composed), rather than going all the way to a neutron star to get it. After all, if you can contain neutronium it is trivially easy to manufacture it.
