Stimulant

A stimulant, also referred to as a stim or stim drug, was a chemical mixture targeted towards the adrenal system, in the form of a one-time use shot, that was injected into the bloodstream in order to provide a boost to the physical capabilities of the user. This enhancement was most commonly used by individuals that were preparing for or already in the midst of a battle. The Mandalorian Canderous Ordo was adept at preparing stims, which he freely offered to both Revan and the Jedi Exile during his travels with them.

The effect was described as "like ten hours of good, deep sleep, and four square meals" until they wore off. Stim drugs could be found in medkits.

Several hundred years before the Third Galactic War, master biochemist Tellak Skrep devised the Buzz, a self-replenishing stimulant that increased the users speed. Only one Stimpak was ever made by Skrep, and none were able to reproduce it.

Saol-sar sold stimulants in the Senate Commercial District on Courscant during the Cold War, as did Valorn Skez aboard Carrick Station.

Stimulants, as well as depressants, were used for non-medical, entertainment purposes; cantinas such as Rimmer's Rest provided booths for customers to make use of such narcotics undisturbed.

Darth Bane used a health stim that he pulled out of a medpac. He had just crash-landed the cruiser Valcyn on the surface of Dxun
