Bliss

Name: Bliss
Notes: An off-shoot of Philter research, Bliss was originally an example of nanotechnology developed by the Terran Imperial Loyalists as a means of pacification of prisoners. Intentionally designed as a short lived form of nanotech, Bliss nanomachines go straight for the pre-programmed section of the brain and hyper stimulate the production of dopomines and other calmness inducing hormones or their equivalent in the species in question.
Due to the built in short-life span, prisoners are usually given multiple doses of Bliss on a schedule to keep them calm and of no threat. As this means the Imperial Loyalists don't need specialized prisoner transport ships, they are able to put those resources into other projects instead.
Intentionally designed to not be as invasive or as permanent as Philter, Bliss nanomachines require a remote programming to tell them what species they are being injected into and where to go in order to do what they do best. This mandates having prior detailed bioscans of the species in question. This raises issues when prisoners of new species are required to be transported, but the Terran Imperial Loyalists still maintain a number of specialized prisoner transport vessels for such cases.
