A device that fires an inductance beam which stimulates the pleasure center of the brain, creating an instant feeling of total and pure joy, ecstasy. It's used to render threatening opponents completely helpless. Enough exposure to the tasp causes addiction, making the victim an unwitting slave.
Puppeteers usually carry a tasp surgically implanted along one of their necks and is much more powerful than its human counterpart, capable of stimulating the pleasure center up to ten seconds whereas human's tasp last less than one second.
