A Starshine Surprise was a powerful alcoholic drink, so strong that it was suggested only for non-Humans or Humans with a very high tolerance. The story goes that it received its name because those who drank it would find themselves on their backs, gazing at the stars. It contained fruit and was frequently set ablaze prior to drinking. For individuals with exceptional resilience, multiple Starshine Surprises could be combined into a single glass; combining two created a Tatooine Sunburn, while combining several resulted in a Cassandra Sunrise.
