DMT analogue in a universe full of spaceships that run on DMT as well.

The spaceships aren’t actually powered by spice. Spice just give the navigators enough prescience to not slam into celestial objects during interstellar travel with the Holtzman drives.

Yeah I meant the details about how the guild finds, recruits, and trains the navigators. And how the ships are designed and the details around how the navigators “live”.
