Infektors

The Infektors were a species of microbes of an unknown origin. They contained an incurable virus.

Abilities
When an Infektor infects a sentient life form it slowly develops mind control over time. It can cause members of the same faction to attack each other without weapons. No physical changes happen when a life form is infected. The disease was rare.

Incidents
The first reported case of the disease was on the Uup space station orbiting Zeta Elise. It quickly spread without notice and infected the whole station. Multiple missions have been sent to safely retake the station, but they failed. After this, a minor incident appeared in the Zynarian Empire. A couple Zynarians were infected and the military was dispatched and quickly eliminated the infected. More cases kept popping up around the galaxy, but were quickly suppressed.
