Outer space, at least as we encounter it in science fiction, is basically a drug free-for-all. If character's aren't piloting starships on Melange or Somec, then they're playing with dolls on Can-D or pumping their brains full of Merge Nine, Semuta and whatever passes for rave music 20,000 years from now.
