  Affide Crystals are an incredibly toxic and dangerous substance, as small as a grain of salt and easily concealed in a fake tooth. Not only are they lethal to consume, but they have been known to be used by spies and criminals in cases of capture to prevent the captor from gaining information or leverage. Though Affide Crystals are not common in the public sphere, they represent a difficult-to-detect yet powerful tool of oppression used by those wishing to keep secrets.   Biotoxins are highly poisonous substances of biological origin. They have been weaponized in various ways, from traditional arrowheads to stealthy and long-lasting aerosols. Depending on the user's wishes, these weapons can be deployed on battlefields, in cities, and even against individuals.   The Blood Boiler is a device that injects poison directly into the veins of a target, causing their blood to turn to acid. This agonizing process is still developing and testing and has proven to be a daunting tool of terror and control. Such weapons of mass destruction are becoming increasingly accessible and pose a significant threat to public safety.   Bundar root is a poison derived from a rare plant in tropical jungles. It is known to cause short-term memory loss and disorientation in its victims, making it a powerful tool of subjugation. Its effects can last for hours, if not days, making it an insidious and hard-to-detect form of oppression.   Charon Venom is a deadly mixture of neurotoxins and acids secreted by the claws of the Charon species. It is a potent poison, causing excruciating pain and widespread hallucinations in its victims as it attacks their central nervous system. It often takes hours for the venom to take full effect, leaving its target in a disoriented and weakened state after the initial exposure.   Cryptberries are a rare and highly toxic fruit growing in and around graveyards. They contain a toxic poison that can be lethal if consumed. Cryptberries are incredibly difficult to detect due to their small size and resemblance to regular berries. Furthermore, the toxin within them can take hours for the effects to become apparent, making it an insidious method of oppression used by those wishing to keep secrets.   Cyclone is a powerful stimulant drug known to increase strength and stamina in its user. Unfortunately, it can be fatal when it runs its course, making it a dangerous and unpredictable tool when used in combat.   Devaronian Blood Poison is a silver gemstone that, upon contact with exposed skin, causes extreme blinding pain. When crushed and ingested or injected, the gem can be used to create deadly weapons that release a toxic substance into the body if they manage to enter the target's bloodstream. This toxic substance can cause the victim to suffer from extreme nausea and vomiting and a disruption of their central nervous system.   DMSO is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless liquid known as Dimethyl Sulfoxide. It is often used as a carrier to deliver toxins or drugs into the bloodstream without requiring injection. This can be a powerful tool in cases where the target is unaware or unable to resist, as it significantly increases the speed and efficacy of the poison or toxin.   Fensbane is a potent and fast-acting poison made from a plant of the same name. It is highly toxic and causes intense abdominal pain in its victims, with the effects increasing as the toxins remain in their system. It can also cause severe vomiting and abdominal cramps. Fortunately, the impact of Fensbane is fully passed in three hours, making it a formidable yet manageable weapon of terror and control.   Gizka Poison is a small pellet that can eliminate the Gizka species. However, when the poison is ingested, it can cause severe mental instability in those affected. The Gizka Poison is highly toxic and can cause intense hallucinations and bouts of insanity in its victims.   Hydrogen Cyanide is a highly poisonous gas to humans, and it can be used as a weapon of terror and control. Similarly, insecticides are a type of toxin that can be used to kill insects or insectoid species, such as the Killiks. In addition to its use in warfare, insecticides can also be a powerful tool of oppression when those in power wish to eliminate a specific population without being detected.   Kytrogorgia, also known as cerulean slime mould, is a liquid substance used in mycotoxin. It is highly toxic to any creature that comes into contact with it. It is used to control populations and can be used in various ways, such as water systems, aerosol sprays, and even air. Kytrogorgia is incredibly difficult to detect, and its effects can last for days or weeks.   Lexonite is a deadly poison that looks like blue powder. It has been used by dark forces around the galaxy, often in the form of dust that can be inhaled. Though it has proven relatively easy to acquire, it can be hard to detect and almost impossible to cure. Its effects can leave its victims in a weakened state, unable to think clearly or easily interact with the world.   The Mother's Milk Project is a highly secretive genetic engineering endeavour that created a deadly poison to prevent Killik eggs from hatching. The toxin is injected directly into the egg, killing the embryo and ensuring the young never hatch. This process is known as brooding death.   Mycotoxin is a potent poison that can be used to eliminate entire populations with ease. Kytrogorgia, or green slime mould, is a powerful form of mycotoxin that causes its victims to drip the substance from their mouths like saliva.   Quell toxin is a poison developed to control slave populations. It is typically administered through the water supply in small dosages that can cause great agony to its victims. However, a more concentrated dose can be fatal. It is hazardous and has been known to cause extreme physical and mental suffering in those exposed.   Quongoosh Essence is a deadly neurotoxin derived from a rare flower native to the outer rim planets. It is mighty, causing intense paralysis and sometimes even blindness in its victims. The poison enters the bloodstream and quickly spreads, attacking the nervous system and leaving its victims unable to move or see. Unfortunately, due to its insidious nature, it can take hours for the effects of Quongoosh Essence to become apparent.   Sennari is a fast-acting, lethal toxin most often delivered through a poisoned dart. Its effects are near-instantaneous, leaving its victims unable to move or speak in their last moments. It is also a powerful tool in assassinations, as its effects are fast-acting and challenging to detect.   Sith Poison is a potent biological toxin created by Sith Alchemy. When it enters an organic body, it amplifies the anger and aggression of the victim and suppresses their ability to reject the dark side's influence. Fortunately, this effect can be counteracted with strong light side powers, but even then, the results of the poison can still be felt. It is a formidable and insidious weapon that has been used to corrupt many unfortunate Jedi throughout the ages.   Somniject is a non-fatal poison but can be deadly in certain instances. The toxin is designed to make the target dizzy and fall into a deep sleep, with the effects lasting up to several hours.   Synox is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless poison that can quickly and silently eliminate a target. It is highly toxic and can cause death in a matter of minutes. It is also tough to detect and can be administered without the target's knowledge. Rarely, a victim may experience a brief period of intense pain before succumbing to the effects of the poison.   Tears of Rist is a potent toxin created and used mainly by the assassins of House Rist of Alderaan. It is a dark, blue-coloured liquid that can quickly incapacitate its victims with a single drop.

The toxin can be injected directly into the bloodstream or through a poisoned dart and causes intense pain and suffering before death.   X-1 is a rare and expensive poison that becomes increasingly addictive when used regularly. This potent neurotoxin targets the brain tissue, making its victims slow and sluggish, eventually leading to death over weeks. Withdrawal symptoms are severe and fatal should the target not be given regular doses during the dying stage.   Xenotoxin is a potent toxin specifically designed to be used against alien species. It is a rare and highly sought-after substance due to its potency and effectiveness. Xenotoxin is colourless, odourless, and tasteless, making it difficult to detect and counter. It is also extremely deadly.   Ziroxin-12 is a chemical poison known for its devastating capacity to kill large populations.
