Origin and Development
SuperIce began as a Mars military alertness compound in the post–Mars City State War period (2357 to 2361 CE). Early versions were designed to keep pilots and deep-space crews awake for extreme durations.
SuperIce was once popular with asteroid miners, but its use among their ranks decreased when the severe addictive nature of this drug came to light. The developers thought that they had removed the addictive properties - they were wrong.
Versions I through III were imperfect and unstable.
Version IV was never approved.
It was refined illegally by black-market chemists using military nanocarriers and civilian meth bases.
Rena’s husbands acquired early samples through Red Dragons Tong intermediaries and perfected a boutique-production method on Chendiuria.
Their version is considered the gold standard.

Production on Chendiuria
Rena’s Husbands’ Facility
Location
Previously abandoned megatenement basement complex.
Nearly 1 km per side
Five subterranean levels.
Three above ground levels.
Most of the above ground levels are empty and planned for eventual expansion.
Pachinko parlor and vehicle garage on the first floor.
Storage, weapons, and supplies on the second level.
The family lives on the third level and the roof with its hydroponic and greenhouse gardens.
Features
• Clean-room labs
• Nanite fabrication vaults
• Waste neutralization chambers
• Atmospheric isolation systems
• Armed security drones
• Shielded data cores
Production Style
Small-batch
Hand-tuned
Chemist-supervised
Serialized
No mass production
This keeps quality high and risk low.
They deliberately avoid scaling.
Distribution
Primary Channels
• High-end clubs
• Sensory theaters
• Private parties
• Boutique dealers
• Export through Red Dragon fronts
They refuse mass-gang distribution.
This is why Red Dragons remain the largest exporter which is legal on Chendiuria.
What the client does with the SuperIce once it is off Chendiuria is not Chendiuria's problem.
Cultural Role
On Chendiuria
SuperIce IV is seen as:
• A luxury stimulant
• A party enhancer
• A social status marker
Using low-grade Ice is considered trashy.
Using Saint Ice is prestigious.
On Chendiuria use of drugs is legal. However, if your actions while under the influence cause any kind of material damage or physical harm to others, the authorities will hold you liable.
Minor offenses carry short-term penal colony incarceration terms and monetary reparations.
Punishments for gross negligence, excessive damage, permanent injury or deaths because of intoxication, whether from drugs, alcohol, or a combination, often result in life-long Negasi-Luwam Correctional Exclusion Zone terms.
Among spacers and mercs
It’s known as:
“Borrowed Time”
Use it before major jobs.
Pay for it later.
Military and Intelligence Interest
Lazarus Consortium, Cerberus Bio-Engineering , and Shedim (Mars Secret Service) monitor SuperIce availability on Mars.
Some confiscated SuperIce variants are reverse-engineered on Mars for:
• combat stimulants
• interrogation drugs
• loyalty conditioning
On Chendiuria, Rena’s husbands are quietly protected because:
• They produce clean chemistry
• They keep records
• They avoid political entanglement
For now.
Rumors
Street rumors say:
• Saint Ice batches include loyalty tracers
• Some batches enhance fertility
• One variant boosts psychic-like perception
• A military-grade SuperIce V exists
None confirmed.
Yet.
Common on Chendiuria, very rare elsewhere
