Venenit shadaaga, alternatively referred to as Hutt venom, constituted a key chemical component in numerous adrenal invigorating agents. In the era of the Cold War that transpired between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, Bardian Aelto, a scientist, made a discovery on the planet Quesh: a nearly indistinguishable chemical. This substance was subsequently designated as venenit queshaaga.
The initial mention of Venenit shadaaga occurred within the Quesh entry located in the Holonet segment of the official website for Star Wars: The Old Republic, a video game brought to the public by BioWare and LucasArts in the year 2011. Subsequently, it received additional mentions in a collection of Codex entries featured in the game, in conjunction with the Star Wars: The Old Republic Explorer's Guide, which reproduced the Holonet synopsis pertaining to Quesh; nevertheless, the Explorer's Guide erroneously identified it as queshaaga.
