Dragon DarkoDoes anyone know how onion head is injested? Snorted, injected, swallowed, smoked?
Brynhild HervorsdottirMarra MorganGaaveraAnother lore question: as you know, both the empire and the federation base their military commands outside their capitol planets with the Imperial command on Facece, and the Feds on Eta Cassiopeia. would that be a little "strange" or "dangerous" to give the military its own "domain, rather than having everything based on the capitol?
Not at all - nations rarely if ever use their capital cities as military bases.
Hmm. List of US military bases in and around the Washington DC metro area:
-Marine Corps Base Quantico
-Henderson Hall
-Marine Corps Barracks Washington DC
-Naval Air Station Patuxent River
-Naval Support Facility Thurmont (which you'd know as "Camp David" )
-Washington Navy Yard
-United States Naval Research Laboratory
-Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division
-Bolling Air Force Base
-Joint Base Andrews
-Fort McNair
-Fort A.P. Hill
-Fort Belvoir
-And last but not least, The Pentagon
Not to mention that the US's largest naval fleet concentration is only 2.5 hours drive away in southern Virgina, with:
-Naval Station Norfolk
-Naval Air Station Oceana
-Damneck Annex
-Joint Base Langley-Fort Eustis
-Naval Weapons Station Yorktown
-Joint Base Little Creek-Fort Story
And off in the other direction about the same distance you have Fort Meade.

Well fancy that.
To keep this relevant and on-track with Gaavera's original point, how many self-contained military bases doea the US have outside of its capital? You can list them too, if you like.
Dragon DarkoDoes anyone know how onion head is injested? Snorted, injected, swallowed, smoked?
GaaveraGreat responses everyone, and im sorry, i should've been more specific with the question lol. what i was asking in terms of "command" were places like the Pentagon for the US military.

Marra and myself have written a fair amount on onionhead being rolled into joints and then smoked, leaving a yellow-purple haze.

All we know for certain from the in-game description is that the seeds are the psychoactive part, which makes is quite versatile.
I don't think there's any wrong way to take it!
ArtieAbout the onionhead - it seems its usage is fairly simple. I am not sure where the seeds form came from (maybe a different strain, I think there were few of them). From the official Galnet posts:
"The Federal President Jasmina Halsey has declared the newly discovered rare narcotic 'Onionhead' illegal throughout Federal space. Onionhead is the fruit of an alien plant, only grown on Panem in the independent Kappa Fornacis system..."
"At a press conference on Panem he [Georgio Algeria, the spokesman for the Farmer's Union in the Kappa Fornacis system] said: 'Onionhead is great, cool. Loved across the galaxy. We make it, you eat it. Don't eat it if you don't want it. Call yourself President! We will keep making it and you will keep eating it. It's what we do. It's all we do.'"
Brynhild HervorsdottirBut one other thing that would negate all the above: The Elite universe is consistently presented to us as a barely functioning dystopia. In a dystopia, I sincerely doubt certain pillars of democracy such as civilian control of the military exists. It's said multiple times the Alliance's Council of Admirals has broad reach to take action as they see fit without apparent oversight from the government. So in that case, it wouldn't be at all odd for the military to have their own "domains". It would be odd to us, but it's just another part of Elite's dystopian normalcy.
