Maze

"(...) a nasty substance that puts the body to sleep but sends the head to the stars. Reports indicate that Maze use and trafficking has been on the rise throughout the Empire."

- Garret Colliga

Believed to be of Xi'an origin, this narcotic-acting tranquilizer and hallucinogen with a bark-shaped appearance is sold on the street as 'Maze'. Due to the high potency of the substance, an injection can kill a user immediately, as such the drug is typically ingested.

Since it affects the user's consciousness, leading to a near-comatose condition while the users experience hallucinations - some religions have implemented the use of the drug. The state can become chronic ('getting disconnected') and affected persons are locked-in 'until their brain decays.'

Maze is designated a Class B substance in Crusader Industries and Hurston Dynamics Jurisdictions. Trafficking Maze will net you a fine of 8,750 UEC in either territory. Additionally, possession carries a 2,000 UEC fine while in Crusader's Jurisdiction.
