Cyanogen silicate was a chemical compound utilized in medicine by doctors and healers of both the Galactic Republic and the Old Sith Empire. The Sith species' Massassi warrior caste used the compound as a powerful cauterizing agent, and the Human Seelah Korsin framed Ravilan Wroth and his fellow Sith for the deaths of a hundred thousand native Keshiri on the planet Kesh whom she had poisoned with cyanogen silicate. Over a thousand years later, the xenopathologist Archiban Kimble used cyanogen silicate as part of his cure for a flesh-eating disease.
