Tool: Black Ribbon

Purpose: Slow, deliberate alterations of the mind of the victim.

Description: Black ribbon, silk in nature. Light silver highlights along the edges.

Uses: Black ribbon can be used to wrap packages or other materials in order to make easy delivery.

Black ribbon is a unique item, not thought of at first glance to be a threat. Even those gifted in the "magics" have a tendancy to be sucked in by the innocense of the ribbon before realizing its true meaning. Through a break through in chemical and biological fields, the ribbon blends in with the victim's natural body chemical balance, and begins to affect the mind like a drug. Through Sith alchemey, the ribbon begins to create a "call" that causes the victim to enjoy holding the ribbon, or be near it. It will cause personality disruptions, where the victim will begin to take on their darker traits.

In the end, extended exposure to the ribbon will cause a victim to begin looking for the one who gave out the ribbon. Eventually, this will lead to total enslavement of the target. So corrupt is its effect, that the affected target will surrender completely, beliving it their destiny to be enslaved.

Tool: Ralaquarian Spice

Purpose: Complete chemical dependance

Description: The light orange gel is injected into the blood stream of a target.

Uses: Complete dependancy upon the spice and the owner of the spice.

"Sugar, and spice and everything deadly - swims through your veins and bonds to you nicely."

Ralaquarian Spice is a dangerous drug. Especially since it is a designer Spice. Created when Travanix returned to slaving, the spice is a product designed and produced in the Vyrononye Sector. He uses it for controlling rebellious slaves, or for the simple act of revenge. When first introduced to a biological body, it bonds instantly with it's DNA. Thus, causing instant addiction to the spice. The high lasts for 6 hours, during this time, the emotions are highly stimulated. The users physical senses are also heightened. After the 6 hours, the high wears off, just as fast as it came.

The spice is a unique color and texture. There is a light/dark orange, gelatin mixture. It is cloudy yet translucent. If you touch it, it is smooth and dry.

36 hours after the injection of the spice to the system, the victim needs another dosage. If the user cannot get the drug, or it is with-held, he or she will begin to go through withdrawal. It is violent and vicious. After 4 hours, the body becomes rigid and wracked with pain. All muscles tighten, and only move under great pressure. If another 4 hours go past, the body can hardly move, and the pain is extreme. The only thing on the victim's mind is the drug. If the spice is not administered by this point, it is too late.

For the next two hours, the body writhes in pain and agony. At this point, the victim begins to tear at their own flesh. This will usually last for two hours or so.

Travanix has been known to inject the drug, or withhold it from a select subject, just to watch them destroy themselves.

To date, the drug has worked on nearly every living being, species, and race in the known galaxy, with the exception of one: Force users. Their bodies naturally defend against the spice, and only Force users can remove it from the DNA of the victims. The removal of the spice can take upwards of 8 - 10 hours of meditation. Only full Jedi are capable of accomplishing such a feat.

Tool: Fast-acting Knock-out gas

Purpose: Rendering a target or group of targets uncouncious quickly.

Description: Small black pellets broken allowing oxygen to mingle with the gas.

Uses: Quick rendering of targets unconcious as to collect them quickly and reloacte to alternate facilities.

The gas that is released from the pellets reacts quickly with the air to create the full effect. As it mixes and is inhaled, it begins to take effect on the body and mind rapidly. Acting more as a toxin, the body begins to break it down and process it in the first phase. As it breaks down, it will begin to sufficate the brain, eventually rendering unconciouisness. The total process for the first breakdown is a matter of seconds. Once the first phase is complete, the second breakdown begins occuring, putting the body into a deep rendered sleep for several hours.
