There are some crazy things out there in the Commonwealth and Empire. Here are some of them.
- Black Lotus: An extremely high-end, potent drug.
- Force Shields: There is widespread use of personal shields. These are usually belt-mounted shield generators that protect against fast-moving attacks. That means they block bullets and hand-held energy weapons. Whether an energy weapon can harm someone in spite of their shield depends on the quality of the shield and the power of the weapon, but one of the things that has evolved because of this is the common use of high-tech or magic-based melee weapons such as knives, swords, battle axes, etc., since they don't move fast enough to trigger a personal shield.
- Paradox Proof: An alcoholic beverage that is 200% alcohol. It' alchemical.
- Scimitar-class Ship Assault Battlesuit
