Eclipse Virus

Eclipse Virus is a bioweapon whose development was spearheaded by Vitaly Tchernenko, at the behest of the Rogue Division agent Aaron Keener. The alleged purpose behind the virus seem to be to create chaos in Lower Manhattan and as an attempt to recreate the Black Friday outbreak again.
== Functionality ==
The Eclipse Virus is a bioweapon which was developed from the virus research of Gordon Amherst to be exactly like the Green Poison, but also altered several of its properties. A noteworthy aspect of the Eclipse Virus is that it do not spread as rapidly as the Green Poison, making any Eclipse Outbreaks easily containable if the issue is addressed adequately and the proper measures are taken. 
Despite being a virus, the Eclipse Virus is visible to the human eye in its crimson smoke like vapor form. However, unlike the Green Poison, the Eclipse Virus is much more fast acting and far more lethal than the Green Poison ever was, with no indication that any human being would have a natural resistance to the virus. As seen in the ECHO of Castle Clinton, the people who were immediately exposed to the Eclipse Virus died within moments of exposure, demonstrating the extreme lethality of the virus. 
== History ==
After Keener captured Tchernenko from the Last Man Battalion, Keener forced Tchernenko to create a deadlier Green Poison using Gordon Amherst's research. After a lot of unsuccessful attempts, Tchernenko finally created a compound that can kill people upon contacting it, and can be stored at a small chemical cylinder.
Keener intended to use Eclipse as a weapon to create chaos. He believed that only chaos can make humanity thrive again. Using Eclipse, he attacked several sites in Lower Manhattan, including the New York City Hall (JTF Base of Operations in Lower Manhattan), New York Stock Exchange (JTF trading post) and Castle Clinton. Besides these attacks, Keener also manufactured a missile with Eclipse on it, as an attempt to spread the compound into the rest of the world.
In a an attempt to ensure Keener's legacy, he gave some sample of the virus to Jupiter's cell and a large amount of it to Hornet's cell. However, Molly "Jupiter" Henderson ordered it to be destroyed as her and her allies were trying to destroy the virus while Hornet's cell are looking for ways to improve and unleash the Eclipse virus.
The Eclipse virus was used to engage Division agents by Hornet's Cell of rogue agents, in an attempt to kill them but left unsuccessful. During a Division agent's attempt to kill Carter "Hornet" Leroux, a mass amount of the Eclipse Virus was deployed by Leroux to block the agent's path at Tidal Basin. However the agent embedded the new healing trap with a hacked Warhound to withstand the Eclipse Virus with constant healing. Eventually the virus was cleared out and Leroux is killed.
After both Keener and Leroux's demise, the Eclipse Virus is seemingly all used or destroyed with its return being unlikely.
