Targeted Biological Warfare

Targeted Biological Warfare
Research Cost: 30000
Summary
We can now create weapons that target individuals with specified genetic structures.
Description
Even the most advanced weapon at our disposal is, in practice, nothing more than a blunt instrument. One designed only to destroy anything it might impact. This is both wasteful and hazardous, squandering potentially valuable resources while littering space - and even our own atmosphere - with potentially radioactive debris. There is a better way, which is to target our foes on a genetic level. Military scientists have now successfully weaponized prior work in phages to assault their very DNA. Effectively, by using nanoscopic biological machines, we can kill a foe carrying specific genetic markers without firing a shot - and, ideally, before they themselves can fire a shot. This would also enable us to neutralize unwanted presences without risking harm to our own people or structures.

Quote
"Death is release. Death is a gateway. In death, you will become your true self. It is not death you should fear, my family, but only the pain that precedes it - and even that is a moment soon forgotten." Superior Judith Howell, The Servants Eternal Source sermon, shortly before the mass suicide of its members
