SPECIAL FEATURES

• Stimulant Delivery System: While not at all intended or designed to improve physical performance, the actual delivery method of the Nostrum Inoculation functions fairly similarly to that of a stimulant. Injected into the bloodstream and using adrenaline as a means to reach distressed areas of the body, the inoculation is able to be rapidly dispersed and thus quickly respond to any and all toxins or diseases that malign the user. A process which often happens in mere moments and thus can even help in warding off the most aggressive of poisons and plagues.

STRENGTHS

• Varied and Swift: Concocted from several medicinal plants and synthesized antibiotics alike, the Nostrum Inoculation serves as a general purpose immunity booster and antitox booster which is capable of counteracting and slowing the effects of many different viruses and infections as well as more deadly varieties of ailments such as weaponized diseases. It does this not only through its mixture of medicines but also through its effective delivery method making use of a body's natural swift response to such contaminations, making the inoculation ideal for injection in lieu of dedicated antidotes or treatments in dire situations.

WEAKNESSES

• Quick Treatment: The rather wide range of applications and antidotes that the inoculation offers does come with a rather noticeable and distinctive hitch as it were, that being that it is a temporary solution. As it isn't a cure for any one particular poison or disease the Nostrum Inoculation simply can't fully cure or provide the full immunity necessary to combat more complex ailments in their entirety, which becomes even more apparent when administered to patients wherein such diseases and toxins have already taken a firm root and caused significant damage. It is more of a preventative measure and first aid implement in this regard rather than an outright vaccine.

DESCRIPTION
While Nostrum Treatments Incorporated would manufacture various medical equipment and pharmaceutical chemicals from their outset, even to the point of producing their own proprietary blend of Bacta, the Nostrum Inoculation served as their first real innovative product in regards to medicine. In general its composition is deceptively simple, comprised of various medicinal compounds and materials both natural and synthesized, however its application would be surprisingly effective as a result as it could easily be diluted without losing too much of its overall potency due to its somewhat redundant component mixture.

Perhaps the most complex part of the inoculation would be its delivery method which was engineered to essentially make use of the body's existing adrenal responses in order to be rapidly introduced to effected areas. Of course not all parts of the mixture would be applicable for specific illnesses and toxins however the overall aid that it offered would nevertheless help to slow the spread and somewhat mute the effects of ailments that it wasn't even designed to counteract, so long as they were similar enough anyway. The main caveat being that, as a result of the inoculation's generalized mixture rather than a specific concoction, it can't be a proper vaccine or provide long term immunization.

In reality the Nostrum Inoculation is actually intended to act as a first aid measure against biological and chemical weapons, crafted by the Order of Wonosa to issue to their forces and civilian population in preparation for their coming reclamation of Formos and for future usage against their foes which have already employed such means against them in the past. In this regard the inoculation shines as a means of preservation and salvation on the battlefield or for those effected by such ailments in general, however only to the extent of being a temporary solution until dedicated medical care and attention can be administered. Its sale to the wider galaxy has only come after the Wonosan's own stocks of the medicine have been filled, subsequently providing an additional source of income and boost to their healthcare efforts through Nostrum Treatments.
