Brightvenom

Overview
Brightvenom is substance that is derived from synthesizing the venom of the Foin'gachal into a purer form. First synthesized by the Crimson Sage Cartel in the later years of the twenty-ninth century. The moment the first of this substance was made, it became a quadrant-wide epidemic due to how simple and easy it was to make. Unfortunately not only did Brightvenom cause untold addiction problems across the now defunct Coalition of Autonomous Systems, it caused many cartels and private military groups to essentially raid Charn, the homeworld of the Foin'gachal, for slaves in order to produce the drug. This had a crippling effect on the already small Foin'gachal population so devastating that the species as a whole was classified as near-threatened.

Effects
The effects of Brightvenom are well documented. It's similarity to the substance-class amphetamine, a stimulant is mixed with another substance known as GHB, a tranquilizer. In small doses it can produce a stimulated euphoric state that allows for more productivity. Another effect is that during this stage of euphoric bliss, the user cannot feel pain of any sort, leading to many believing they are invincible which has caused many deaths over the decades. An overdose of Brightvenom can essentially not be treated as there is no counter-measure.

Unrefined Foin'gachal venom is classified as one of the most dangerous substances known for an organic species to produce. If unrefined venom in larger quantities enters an individual's bloodsteam via a bite, death will most certainly come within minutes as it destroys heart and brain tissue to the point an effected person will bleed out of every orifice.
