Death stick/Legends

Death sticks were a powerfully narcotic substance primarilly sold on Coruscant. Originally developed in the illegal pharmaceutical labs of Coco Town, they were relatively cheap, and were smuggled into the clubs of cities by slythmongers. The cilona extract offered euphoria in exchange for a horrific outcome. With each dose the user's life was shortened, and the successive dosages took away larger chunks from a lifespan. With each successive dose, the desire for a harder reaction increased. It was thus very difficult for a youth to shake it off without medical assistance.

Death sticks came in two typical forms. In liquid form, they consisted of small tubes of red or yellow ixetal cilona fluid, which could be added to an alcoholic drink (some mixed them with Fizzyglug) or injected directly. A hardened variety containing dried granules of the drug could be smoked or pulverized and then inhaled.

Rehabilitation for death stick addiction was available at medical centers at a cost of typically 2500 to 3500 credits.

The Bando Gora distributed a more potent and deadly form of death stick until the cult was destroyed by Jango Fett.
