# Asterion Tonic

-A highly valuable chemical compound produced only on Asterion; acts as a broad spectrum medication and health enhancement supplement when consumed by humans. [Lord Captain Keojrah-Glynt](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/keojrah-glynt-assets/page/lord-captain-beaumont-septimus-keojrah-glynt "Lord Captain Beaumont Septimus Keojrah-Glynt") ordered that securing a supply of this tonic be a top priority of the company.

-Though our present contracts with [House Nimea](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/house-nimea "House Nimea") stand, our access to the Tonic via this relationship may be in political jeopardy.

-The formula is known only to the [Magos Biologis](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/magos-biologis-kolabite-62-o "Magos Biologis Kolabite 62-Ø"); further complexity exists in that the process is largely dictated by the sensor based internal regulation and design of certain machines within the synthesis facility.

-Infiltration (performed on the orders of [Mehvon Traquiel](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/page/mehvon-traquiel "Mehvon Traquiel")) has provided the [Traquiel family ](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/house-traquiel "House Traquiel")with enough data to reverse engineer this process; however, the obtainment of this information is known to House Nimea, who holds proprietorial rights to the tonic, posing legal and political problems.

-[The Cutters](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/the-asteriicinquefoilsnemesis-xenos-heavy-encryption/page/associated-organisms "Associated Organisms") contain a viscous substance that bears remarkably similar properties to the Tonic, likely responsible for the excellent health of [the 508](https://kgco.AspenArkive.com/books/asterion-factions/chapter/the-chosen-508th "The Chosen 508th"), who consume the goo as a staple of their diet. The precise ramifications of this discovery have yet to be determined, but could indicate that whatever the Xenos subsist upon (if they subsist at all) is a vital component of the chemical processes involved.
