Kassa

Kassa (a.k.a space corn according to Mitchell) is a crop that was genetically engineered by the Lucian Alliance. Kassa looks very similar to maize (corn) on Earth, but has a pink/purplish colour rather than yellow like it's normally grown on Earth. The crop has been engineered with a psycho-stimulant, making the crop highly addictive to whoever eats it.

The crop first came to SG-1's attention in 2006 when SG-3 explored a planet where the inhabitants behaved strangely and rioted when the supply of Kassa ran low. Lieutenant Mooney had a taster and quickly grew addicted to it. Colonel Reynolds had to restrain him and bought back to Stargate Command. One of the planets Kassa was grown was on P6J-452, where two thirds of the known crop is grown. SG-1 then made a duty to rid the galaxy of the crop.
