Depends on your chosen genre.
For Star Trek, dilithium crystals and anti-matter.
For Babylon 5, ____________________ [your answer here].
For GZG Full Thrust, I think it's unspecified.
    But DSII allows Fusion Generation Plants which use fusion power. So,
perhaps the answer is any source of hydrogen, whether as water (then
cracked
into hydrogen and oxygen) or hydrogen gas from gas giants.
    This gives another possible objective in attacking/invading star
systems. Controlling the star system's gas giants would allow easy
refueling
as in Traveller. Except if you're invading a colony world with plenty of
water...
