Encyclopedia > Ketracel white

In the fictional Star Trek universe, ketracel-white (also known as "white" for short) is an "isogenic enzyme" which the Dominion uses to control its Jem'Hadar warriors. The Jem'Hadar have been genetically engineered to be born dependent on the substance for survival. The Dominion is the only supplier of the drug, and as such keeps the Jem'Hadar firmly under the control of the Founders. The White is the sole source of nutrition that the Jem'Hadar ever need - they require no sleep, food, or other enhancements, since the White provides all that they need. The current Star Trek franchise logo Star Trek is an American science fiction entertainment series and media franchise. ...

Jem'Hadar: "We pledge our loyalty to the Founders, from now until death."

There has been one known instance of a Jem'Hadar not dependent on ketracel-white, the Jem'Hadar commander Goran'Agar in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Hippocratic Oath." The reason for his independence of the drug was never discovered, but was speculated to be some sort of random genetic mutation. GoranAgar was a JemHadar commander for the Dominion seen in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode Hippocratic Oath. He was rare in that he was one of the only known JemHadar not addicted to the drug Ketracel White. ...
