Injection Stimulants
The ubiquitous deployment of chemical stimulants is a foundational pillar of modern warfare, a practice refined over five centuries of relentless conflict. Their origins trace back to the brutal lessons of the Traphon War, where the Endless Unity first faced an enemy whose tactical speed and physiological resilience far exceeded that of baseline humanity. In response, military research divisions pioneered the first-generation combat stimulants: crude but effective cocktails of amphetamines, coagulants, and synaptic enhancers. These early formulas leveled the playing field, allowing Unity soldiers to operate for days without sleep, ignore minor wounds, and process battlefield information at an accelerated rate. What began as a desperate countermeasure evolved into standard doctrine; the soldier and the stimulant became inseparable.
The Autodoc and the Needle: Methods of Administration
The method of delivery is a key indicator of a soldier's status and resources. Most battlesuits, such as the @Centurion-Pattern Battlesuit, feature integrated autodoc systems. These sophisticated medical suites continuously monitor the wearer's vitals and, either by pre-programmed response or neural command, administer a tailored cocktail of stimulants directly into the bloodstream via an intravenous port. This allows for seamless, hands-free enhancement in the heat of combat. In contrast, older @Carapace-Pattern Battlesuit and civilian-grade models like the @PK-1 Exosuit lack this luxury. They are equipped with a standardized manual injection port, typically located on the thigh or pectoral plate, requiring the user to physically jam a stimulant ampoule into the receptacle during a lull in fighting—a moment of vulnerability that can mean the difference between life and death.
Common Stimulants
These are mass-produced military hardware, as essential as a power cell or a ration pack. Vast, automated pharmaceutical plants synthesize these chemicals in staggering volumes. Distribution is managed through rigorous military logistics chains, with standard-issue stim-packs available for requisition by any authorized unit. Beyond official channels, a thriving gray and black market ensures their availability to partisan fighters, mercenary companies, and civilians operating in high-risk environments. The very prevalence of these substances has normalized chemical augmentation, making it an unremarkable aspect of daily life for soldiers and adventurers alike.
