Description
The virus would usaly be used as a last resort means to purge a disobedient population. It would be injected and lay dormant within the High Priests blood. Upon the death of the priest it would "awaken" and act as a viral agent that would infected breathable air and water supplies. This fate was experienced by the Alphans in 2374.
