-Imperial Biological Research Facility KRX-1189, Corellian System-
Chief Engineer Yurgen Ganze, representative of the Imperial Biological Research Division held a press conference today, only moments after a report given by TriNebulon News was broadcast, regarding the myths of the chemical agent “Genocide 7”, and the recent terrorist attacks on Corellia’s Vreni Island.
“Studies indicate that the bioweapon employed by the insurgents on Vreni Island cannot be naturally occurring and are in fact a mutated form of the 'mane epitaphium' virus, originating from the Beh’kar planetary system. A surprisingly resilient virus, the original
succeeded in wiping out over half of the sector’s population before it could be eradicated by aerial bombardment by the local militia after an evacuation of all civilians in the region took place. Both a vaccine and cure to 'mane epitaphium' were discovered shortly
thereafter.
The chemical agent “Genocide-7”, or more correctly known as G-7, was designed with the intent to reanimate dead tissue cells in victims where a skin-graft, and even the application of syntheskins, were not an option. By applying the chemical to a patients system, it would replicate itself many times over, effectively duplicating the tissue cells in the damaged area, and maximizing a victims healing process by 82%. However, initial tests proved disastrous. Where G-7 did in fact replicate its host’s tissue cells, the exposure to DNA mutated it into a potent, and highly lethal virus, effectively killing the recipient. Research was halted immediately, and all physical samples of the chemical were destroyed. What was stolen, were the documents containing “Genocides” formula for reproducing it. What was captured by members of the 1st Assault Fleet was the results of amateur scientists attempting to recreate G-7 as a weapon. Three samples were kept for study…”

Shortly after the Chief Engineer’s statement, footage was released to various news agencies revealing IRD personnel destroying the only physical samples of G-7.
