A Dathomirian poison was used by the Crimson Dawn assassin Deathstick, the daughter of a Dathomirian female named Shelish, during the reign of the Galactic Empire. According to Deathstick, an individual would die within ten minutes of being affected by the poison if they did not have an antidote. In 3 ABY, Deathstick used weapons that were coated in the poison to subdue the assassin Just Lucky as he fought his former mentor Gallin Crae aboard the Vermillion, the Fortress-Flagship of Crimson Dawn. Not long later, Deathstick used knives coated in the poison to pin the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra to a wall on the Vermillion.
