Changes: Hive virus

Revision as of 01:33, 29 October 2006

Prior to the Clone Wars, the highly-contagious Hive Viruses were fairly widespread. They were characterized by a dormancy period followed by mass activation, mediated by unknown means. After the Clone Wars, medical technology flourished, and this type of virus was virtually wiped out from the galaxy.

One of the most virulent strains of hive virus attacked the mental centers of the brain, altering perceptions. Individuals were driven mad in a relatively short span of time. This strian was actually the cause of the loss of the Katana Fleet. Part of the crew picked up a hive virus in one of their ports of call in their maiden voyage and the virus quickly spread among the entire fleet while dormant. When it became active, all the crew were struck at once. The crew of the command ship survived long enough to slave the ships together and jump to hyperspace along with the Katana Fleet.
