Katrohydropenaline

Katrohydropenaline is a mild psychotropic serum, engineered to modify the manner in which the brain stem receives signals from the central nervous system.

In its diluted form, this drug sees common use in modern medicine where other drugs fail to relieve pain. In a more concentrated form, it can be used to increase the sensitivity of certain senses, often combined with other carrier serum to localize the effects to a certain function of the nervous system. These applications are commonly used in extremely minor amounts, for a heavier dose of the concentrated form can result in terrible side effects to the patient.

The Galactic Empire's COMPNOR division has recently been utilizing concentrated katrohydropenaline in its interrogation and re-braining efforts, by administering a substantially high dose and rendering a victim subject to dangerous increases to the five senses. The effects were frightening and psychologically dangerous to the victim. Korynn Fleming is credited for the discovery of this method of torture as part of his 23-Dorn project.
