Drugs

Drugs are a mostly illegal commodity in the Orion arm. They can be used recreationally or by corporations and militaries to enhance human abilities or to provide R&R.

Phantom
Phantom is a gas based substance that enhances sensory awareness. It is also known to unlock a so-called sixth sense in users which allows them to see and feel things and places far beyond their surroundings and even see visions of the future.

The sudden increase in sensory awareness is often highly dangerous for users and causes immense pain or even death if too much is used. Most users have to adapt their bodies and minds to the drug as inexperienced users can suffer severe damage should they take high doses.

It is primarily used by Navigators to guide ships through hyperspace storms as normal ship sensors cannot see through them.

Jakt-Up
Often used by soldiers and illegally by street fighters and criminals, Jakt-Up is a performance enhancing drug that removes the body's natural restrictions on muscle use, allowing the muscles to use its full strength. However, this causes muscle tissue to become permanently damaged, so most users will use muscle enhancing drugs such as Gorilla before taking Jakt-Up.

Gorilla
Gorilla is a muscle and strength enhancing drug used by bodybuilders, criminals and soldiers.
