X-Leviathan Virus

The X-Leviathan Virus was a deadly pathogen created from 's ' airborne version, for the Confederacy of Independent Systems's Leviathan Armament Project. It had the same air dispersion qualities but was genetically modified to only act upon Human biology. Near-Human species could also be infected if one's immunologic system was so weak that the virus would be naturally drawn to infect that life form.

Characteristics
The X-Leviathan Virus was initially only present in a gaseous form that once inspired would immediately infect one's respiratory system (presuming the subject is a Human or Near-Human), and when reaching the alveoli, the virus would prevent the production of (a fundamental substance to the lungs) by destroying the alveolar cells that segregate it. The lack of pulmonary surfactant would originate a affliction known as Chronic, which caused the lungs to collapse, most likely leading to death.

The Restless Leviathan
Leviathan Armament Project later stages would lead to the creation of a new version of the virus. This version, known as Restless Leviathan differed from his predecessor in two major aspects:


 * The new version of the virus would only react and become active when activate by a artificial protein named Tarasque.


 * The virus could be carried by living beings other than Humans, but it would not kill the hosts. By example, if a Human mounted a Bantha infected with the Restless Leviathan Virus, the Bantha would never die from the infection but the Human could contract the virus from the animal and die because of it.
