Coma gas, a colorless and odorless substance, was a commonly deployed incapacitant for nearly all humanoid species. Across the galaxy, its applications ranged from quelling civil unrest to deployment in large-scale military engagements. Numerous pirate groups and privateer entities, in addition to the Rebel Alliance, employed different variants of coma gas within boarding harpoons to swiftly seize ships while minimizing fatalities. A few inhalations of coma gas were sufficient to render an individual unconscious for several hours.
In the course of the Mission to Myrkr, the Jedi strike team leveraged coma gas as an aid in their takeover of the Yuuzhan Vong corvette analog known as Exquisite Death.
