Glitter-stim Crisis

The Glitter-stim Crisis was minor crisis which saw a major rise in the use of the drug Glitter-stim in the galactic core, for 900 to 901 ARR.

Background
A critical piece of the background to this crisis was the action taken but he Hutt Grand Council, to support minor shipping agents, generally labeled smugglers elsewhere in the galaxy. Another is the creation of the Core Common Market which made an economic trade zone in parts of the galactic core, easing the flow of goods within the area.

The Crisis
Glitter-stim began to appear in the core as recreational drug, only a few months into 900. Rapidly the drug began to spread in the Core Common market, and deaths from the drug began to rise. Efforts at enforcement, and control became expensive and contentous. Ultimately it efforts at enforcement failed and the Core Common Market turned toward regulation rather than supression, which proved more successful.
