Thetametabuterin
- "I am looking for something discreet, as always. Perhaps a recipe to induce hallucinatory effects later on—something that might prompt him to open his speeder door and leap out, or jump from his tower balcony."
- ―Black Sun's Guri instructs Tavvar Va'ran on the poisoning of Fendrilon Koozar
Thetametabuterin was a tasteless, nearly untraceable chemical. When combined with certain other components and introduced to the Human physiology, thetametabuterin could cause hallucinatory effects.[1]
In 3.5 ABY,[2] Prince Xizor of the Black Sun crime syndicate secretly arranged to have the meddlesome Imperial Advisor Fendrilon Koozar killed at the Manarai restaurant on the planet Coruscant.[3] To that end, Manarai Master Chef Tavvar Va'ran added a dose of thetametabuterin to Koozar's Wroonian flycatcher filet, along with a hybrid mold and collafa spice to other parts of the meal. This recipe later produced an uncontrollable fit in Koozar, who died as a result after crashing his luxury airspeeder in a fiery explosion.[1]
Behind the scenes
Thetametabuterin was introduced in "A Very Special Meal," a short story included in the 1996 Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook, written by Peter Schweighofer for West End Games' Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.[1]
