A call for aid: Blight and plague strikes Chhal and surrounding systems



A malevolent mutation in a bacteria naturally encountered in many hydroponic systems is believed to be the source of the multiple famines and outbreaks currently running rampant in Chhal and the surrounding systems of Kokan, Vodyak and Baneb Xoc.

In response to this, the Institute of Galactic Exploration and Research (IGER) is putting out a general call for humanitarian aid in the form of medicines and food to the affected systems.

"While we are confident that our scientists will be able to develop a suitable countermeasure given time, we urgently need the assistance of independent pilots to help stabilize the immediate situation", said IGER director Henry Okuba.

Toxins from the bacteria appear to cause cell membranes to loose the ability to sustain themselves properly, and symptoms of infection are eerily alike in humans as well as in crops. Pilots bringing aid are advised to not stray outside designated safe zones.


"While no settlements of the IGER scientific cooperative have been infected, we cannot stand idly by while our neighbours in these systems suffer", director Okuba finished.




Current status (September 6th 3302):

Outbreak affecting the following systems - medicine needed:

Chhal - Chhal Blue Travel Company
Kokan - Pirates of Kokan



Famine affecting the following systems - food needed:

Chhal - Chhal Blue Travel Company
Baneb Xoc - Baneb Xoc Dynasty
Vodyak - Integrated Vodyak

Interesting bacteria. Can we weaponise it :D

In principle yes - but such a weapon would loose its value as soon as a vaccine or other countermeasure has been developed. As stated above, the director of IGER is very confident that 33rd century genetics and xenobiology will be able to provide a remedy for the bacteria - it is only a matter of time. However, until that has been achieved it will continue to be a potent threat. So weaponisation is probably not worth the time and effort... ;)
