Diseases & Vermin IYTU (Plagues and Pests)

[Spinward Scout]

Once established, the organisms quickly utilize the pure metals of the ship's hull to mulitply at such a staggering rate that ships sometimes distegrate before reaching their next port of call.

That's wicked! Is there a cure or bio-RAID or something?

 

[Ran Targas]

Not really unless you're willing to cut big chunks of your ship off and cast them adrift. This stuff is space hardened and will eventually grow back; try to clean it off and you only slow it down. The local patrol will destroy any vessel that appears affected if only to prevent the spread of the organisms.

T:NE players could benefit from the disease catalogue in the Twilight 2000 game, which has all the old favourites in there such as Typhus, Plague variants and good old food poisoning.
