Legality

This can vary between boosters, but most boosters are illegal and carrying them around, can result in confiscation and standing losses.

Note however, that being "under the influence" is not illegal.


Where to get boosters

The manufacturing process utilizes the skill set of mini-professions, and uses specialized starbase structures required to process the gas clouds. The eight new COSMOS Constellations each contain their own unique Booster ingredients, with the more advanced Boosters requiring ingredients from all over the universe.
