- "Battle stimulants? You might have said you had them!"
- ―Storm Tasia
Battle stimulants were a type of stimulant that enhanced a user's combat abilities and reduced pain for a short time. Taking multiple battle stimulants in short succession could greatly enhance one's physical prowess at the cost of causing one's memories of events to blur.[1]
During the Battle of Galov[1] in 231 BBY,[2] forces of the Republic Defense Coalition boarded the Nihil cruiser Lourna Dee and engaged the marauders aboard. Nihil Strike Andrik Keller gave a battle stimulant to his commanding Storm Tasia after she sustained an injury, and then took one himself. Upon meeting Jedi Masters Sskeer and Avar Kriss aboard the cruiser, Keller took a second battle stimulant and aggressively engaged the Jedi while trying to steal their Jedi shuttle. Tasia called Keller an "idiot" for his bravado.[1]
