Nanospore

Name: Nanospore
Notes: Nanospores are nanites that infiltrate biological cells where they destroy the body from the inside out and use whatever materials they have access to within the living organisms body to create more of themselves. Nanospores could not be blocked by biofilters and resulted in many worlds being uninhabitable. The Terran Imperial Loyalists was forced to impose a quarantine on the worlds so affected, to prevent the spread of the nanospore plague.
The truth of the matter was this was a hidden experiment with the Imperial Union's nanodetonators, only tuned to target organic matter alone, by the then concealed Empire Of The Rising Sun. In a campaign of fear, Rising Sun deployed this nanotech only a few times on worlds that housed fledgling agricultural colonies of the Imperial Union Of Planets as a means of denying them needed resources. It took Imperial Union's experts several encounters before they uncovered the true cause of the sterilization of these worlds and a couple more before developing their own nanotechnological counter.
Currently, though the Imperial Union Of Planets has developed a counter due to their superior nanotech, the Empire Of The Rising Sun retains nanospores in their arsenal and are willing to use them.
