"Did you bring my mycopram, hauler?"
"Sure did, sir! Eighteen boxes worth!"
"Just eighteen?! What was even the point of returning with such small a load?"
"Prices and demand surged once that celebrity guy said he uses it and looks like a twelve-year-old!"
―Niv Drendow Apruk and Argomon on the Korvix Vorn[1]

A male celebrity was active by the time of the High Republic Era. At some point, he began using the mycopram regenerative substance to look younger. When the celebrity boasted about how he looked—with some individuals thinking he looked twelve years old—the price of mycopram surged. At some point afterward,[1] in 229 BBY,[2] the black market smuggler Argomon delivered eighteen boxes of the regenerative substance to Nihil scientist Niv Drendow Apruk on the prison ship Korvix Vorn. When Apruk questioned why the smuggler had brought such a small amount, Argomon recounted that the celebrity's usage of the substance had caused a price and demand surge.[1]
