Bioweapon

Bioweapons, or biotoxins were deadly chemical weapons of mass destruction. Often designed to target specific species, bioweapons were heavily researched by the Galactic Empire, although the Rebel Alliance prioritized their facilities, preventing them from using the bioweapons on a large scale.

History and usage
Bioweapons were an ever-present threat throughout most major conflicts. During the Clone Wars, Doctor Nuvo Vindi re-created a strain of the dreaded Blue Shadow Virus, although it was destroyed before it could become widespread.

Blue Shadow Virus
When a strain of the Blue Shadow Virus was developed by Vindi in 21 BBY, it resulted in the death of multiple shaaks on Naboo. When their owner, a Gungan named Peppi Bow reported this to the Republic, a team of Clone troopers led by Padme Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano. Vindi had created numerous bombs laden with the virus, and was prepared to unleash them accross the galaxy. However, he was eventually thwarted by the Jedi, which saved the lives of Amidala as well as her clone escort.

Coyerti
In the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire researched bioweapons in facilities located on planets such as Coyerti, which was rich with plants and animal life. Coyerti was home to a chemical distillery, which was the target of the Sixty-First Mobile Infantry (Twilight Company) during the Coyerti campaign in 3 ABY. The distillery was successfully destroyed by a small team of Rebel operatives.

Nakadia
Although the Distillery on Coyerti was destroyed, it's weapons were used against Twilight Company from Coyerti's stockpiled reserves, causing the agonizing death of a Rebel soldier.
