Stimulant/Legends

A stimulant, also referred to as a stim or stim drug, was a chemical mixture targeted towards the adrenal system, in the form of a one-time use shot, that was injected into the bloodstream in order to provide a boost to the physical capabilities of the user. This enhancement was most commonly used by individuals that were preparing for or already in the midst of a battle. The Mandalorian Canderous Ordo was adept at preparing stims, which he freely offered to both Revan and the Jedi ExileStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords during his travels with them.
The effect was described as "like ten hours of good, deep sleep, and four square meals" until they wore off.Republic Commando: Hard Contact Stim drugs could be found in medkits.
Several hundred years before the Third Galactic War, master biochemist Tellak Skrep devised the Buzz, a self-replenishing stimulant that increased the users speed. Only one Stimpak was ever made by Skrep, and none were able to reproduce it.
Saol-sar sold stimulants in the Senate Commercial District on Courscant during the Cold War, as did Valorn Skez aboard Carrick Station.
Stimulants, as well as depressants, were used for non-medical, entertainment purposes; cantinas such as Rimmer's Rest provided booths for customers to make use of such narcotics undisturbed.Dark Forces: Rebel Agent
