The Wildfire Project

The Wildfire Project started as a Holy Terran Empire program that was created in order to collect, study, and try to weaponize various micro-organisms. A co-operative effort between military and civilian efforts, the Wildfire Project has created an unknown number of different strains to accomplish different tasks: ranging from incapacitating the defenders of a world to make it easier to conquer to lethal bioweapons.
Due to the association with bio-tech, however, some view the program with suspicion due to known uses of bio-tech by the Fenghuang's alliance. Yet, these doubts are overshadowed by the numerous successes the Wildfire Project has had to date.
Their known strains include one made to cripple targets with diarreah, one that attacks the optic nerve, one that destroys the protective mucus lining of the stomach to allow gastric juice to eat away at the infected from the inside, to an unknown number of other strains, a number that only keeps growing and growing in size.
A small group inside the Wildfire Project is dedicated to coming up with counters to response attacks with bioweapons, even if its a re-use of their own strains. However, not all are known to be curable aside from killing, quarantining, and destroying the infected.
Once the Holy Terran Empire was exiled from the planet and control of Terra now in the hands of the New Human Empire and, through them, the Zodiac Empire, the Wildfire Project is now under the oversight of the Imperial Starfleet. While under...different regulations and rules, the Zodiac Empire's version of the Wildfire Project still researches diseases, some to weaponize, but also to find cures and counters in case anyone attacks the Zodiac Empire with a bioweapon or a new form of life that causes a never before encountered disease.
