Description: FAI74, commonly referred to as Faith on the streets is a drug compound based on a mindcontrol drug mixture created by the One Sith. After the fall of the empire the documentation of the experiments
Surrounding the original drug FAI72 landed in the hand of Darth Abyss and his loyal men, all former members of the One Sith Intelligence. At first they found little use for it, as the original compound was highly lethal even in small doses and therefore lacked the potential to be used for prolonged control.
After numerous versions made by Abyss men, under the mantel of his cult "the Children of Korriban", one of them ended up with reducing the original formula, while basing the substance on natural occurring substances that were extremely similar in their chemical traits.
This new drug, Faith quickly rose in popularity in the streets of Nar Shaddaa, as the effects and cheap price were well liked by both the young, and rich party goers of the moon, as well as by the poor and homeless that live in the lowest levels.
While the drug itself does not grant anybody control over the user, it is fairly easy to manipulate those under the influence, especially after a time of prolonged use. This trait, combined with the high addictiveness makes it the ideal drug for subtle, slow brainwashing.
Note: If used by an PC, it is up to the player to decided if the effect of control will occur
