Quoted from CCP about Dr Vitoc.

"Dr Vitoc's method is more than a form of control. The deaths induced by Vitoxin are abhorrent - slow and tortuously painful, while the euphoric properties of Vitoc make it an excellent tool for brainwashing, replacing human dignity and free will with chemically-induced trust and even love.

These drugs currently control the lives of over a billion people across New Eden and the vast majority of them are Minmatar, which makes this a problem of essential interest for the Republic.

The Minmatar Republic's covert research programme into Dr Vitoc's method has taken many approaches to the problem. Some few methods have been found that will slow the progress of Vitoxin infection and the toxic build-up associated with it, while other programmes have sought to find a temporary antidote that does not have the debilitating and degrading mental and emotional effects of Vitoc. But a secondary problem is involved - an economic one."
