Incident: Rakghoul Plague

==Overview==
An ancient plague known as the Rakghoul plague irrupts on a planet infecting it with its evil.
The Rakghoul Plague turns any organics into vicious infected powerful monsters that suffer so much as a scratch from a Rakghoul. Any wounded individuals from a fight with Rakghouls will turn into additional Rakghouls. Those killed by Rakghouls are not turned.
The initial Rakghoul outbreak will begin with up to 20% of planets manpower being converted into Rakghoul units, there is also a 25% chance that up to 20% of military ground units will be initially infected and a 5% chance that up to 5% of starships in orbit will be infected at the start of the plague.
The Rakghoul Plague can be spread to Starships and other planets. As such, if a Starship or any trade routes are active from the system at the time of the outbreak, there is a 25% chance that an outbreak will occur at that location the following turn.
Any Unit or Hero wounded by a Rakghoul will turn into Rakghoul.
There is presently no known cure for the Rakghoul Plague beyond killing and burning all those infected. Research for a cure can be conducted. There is a rumor there once was a Rakghoul Serum but it has long since be lost.
Note: Mechanical based races and heroes are not effected by this, beyond having to combat the rakghouls if encountered (they are not subject to the plague).
