Yyn

In the shadowed fringes of known space, a potent and illicit substance known as Yyn commands a deadly allure. Derived from the fumes emitted by Yynarians, majestic beings that navigate the upper atmospheres of Yynaria, Yyn is no ordinary narcotic. These creatures, feeding on pockets of nitros oxide, undergo a unique metabolic process. Their digestive enzymes break down the nitros oxide, producing a byproduct that, to many life forms, induces an intense, drug-like euphoria. The production of Yyn is a tale of brutality and exploitation. Vicious drug cartels, such as the infamous Crimson Brotherhood, have perfected a barbaric method to harvest this precious offgas. They create makeshift settlements in the skies of Yynaria by anchoring derelict ships to the Yynarians using barbed spears, a process as cruel as it is effective. The cartels ride these gentle giants across the skies, waiting for them to consume nitros oxide and emit the coveted fumes.
Once harvested, the offgas undergoes a sophisticated refinement process, utilizing advanced Gellar Field technology to enhance its potency. The resulting substance, Yyn, is then smuggled across the universe, fueling a lucrative, if deadly, trade. Its consumption, collection, or sale is highly illegal, yet the demand for this exclusive high drives a black market of unimaginable scale and savagery. The cartels' methods are as effective as they are cruel, often resulting in the death of the Yynarians. Once the harvesting apparatus is full, the creatures are unceremoniously abandoned, their anchor wounds leading to a slow, tragic demise as they deflate and fall towards Yynaria's lower atmosphere, where they meet their end in a blaze of fire and loss. Yyn's allure lies not just in its effects but in the dark tale of its origin—a story of beauty and brutality, of exploitation and ecstasy. It stands as a grim testament to the lengths to which sentient beings will go for the pursuit of pleasure, no matter the cost.
