Narcotics & Stims Used By The Saegon Empire

The Saegon Empire utilizes a number of stimulates for their soldiers in combat. While most choose to go without them, for the sake of avoiding common aftereffects like sweating and dry mouth, notable users are elites in the Special Forces and generals on the frontlines to increase vitality and agility.
On certain worlds with natural dangers like extreme cold/heat and violent storms, fitting stimulates are given to soldiers as part of their kit.
Drug use outside of the military and medical purposes is very limited, most are either banned empire-wide or frowned upon for their use. These examples include Crando, Hotspike, and Eel Juice.
