About Targeted Biological Warfare

Targeted Biological Warfare is a Terra Invicta technology in MilitaryScience with a research cost of 30,000.

We can now create weapons that target individuals with specified genetic structures.

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.
