Background

The Angel Virus was developed two years ago by the biological genious Bryan Thornburry, paving the way for Biowarfare by the Jutraalian Empire. The Angel Virus, also known as Project Blue, is a ground breaking virus that is released into the victim's system much like an STD, anything that allows blood or saliva contact to the victim's body causes instant infection, which we still have no cure for. After the loss of Imperial-Class Star Destroyer Garret The project was put on hold to prevent further unexpected outbreaks due to bothan interferance. After a half a year of cancellation, it was back in production, being tested on the modern battlefields against such opponents as Noghris and prisoners.

When in contact with the Angel Virus, a series of changes occurs in the victim, like the ability to comprehend. However, eventually, the victim is turned into a senseless beast, running amok and assaulting everything within its sight or hearing very ferally, killing its opponent with jaws and anything else in its arsenal. After a designated amount of time, the victim's heart will no longer suffice, and tear in two, slaying the monster. Given an increased doseage allows the monster to implode, slaying or harming all around him. To make this an affective missile, it is launched onto ships, and explodes into the interior, unleashing a gas form of it that is very airborn. However, once the virus is contained, it no longer is airborn, and must be injected into the victims, through saliva or any other means of it getting into their system.

The Angel Virus may come in contact with the blood or saliva in a series of means including open cutes, pores in the target's skin, open cavities, and with strong enough doseages, the Angel Virus will simply cut skin like razor sharp blades to force its entry.

Statistical Analasys

The Angel Virus is launched in specially designed warheads, known as AVMs -- Angel Virus Missiles. These missiles do not explode on impact, but rather grind into the enemy's hull in order to cause maximum infection. The gas is highly deadly and contageous, infecting everyone on the same deck, level, or room, depending on the doseage. The way it works is quite fascinating infact, keeping the monster close to invincible until its heart is destroyed. When the gas is inhaled, immediatly the lungs are shredded apart, and this gas cannot be filtered, not even through the most advanced gas masks. It will shred the victim's lungs, and spread throughout their system, eating away at the vital organs and such, until eventually the brain too is killed off, however, the virus continues to function the nerves, healing its own wounds in a way. All physical damage taken the gas will seal shut immediatly.

To eliminate one of the monsters is quite difficult, but very possible. To disembowl it is a good start, or to score a blow to the heart, which is its primary life support. To remove its head would work as well, but it is unsure at this time why. To be on the safe side, all scientists working on this craft are required to wear heavy combat armor as well as blasters at all times, no exceptions.
