Red Comet

Many rumors surround this drink. It's the product of some Ine Givar plot. Its kick comes from mixing it with jump fuel. It's responsible for wiping out the civilization on Khadushu. None of the dozens of legends about this wine-like beverage are true, but its maker still ends up spending a large portion of its PR budget on countering them. What is true is that Red Comet is one of the most intoxicating substances in Charted Space, with a mere spoonful able to put a drinker under the table within 15 minutes. It has been banned outright on many worlds of CR 5+. Red Comet is typically taken as a few drops placed in mixers and is an odorless, tasteless bright red fluid.
