Red Virus

The Red Virus is a disease originating from the planet Ponea.

Symptoms of the disease included fatigue, nausea and dizziness. Progressing furtherer, a red rash develops across their bodies. When the rash spreads to the lining of their throuts, they suffocate. The disease plagued the Ponea species for forty years, resulting in the deaths of 12 Million people. The Terran Federation helped a remainder of the population escape and as soon as they left the planets atmosphere, the virus died. Eventually, experts tried to find a cure for the virus, however, it was discovered that the virus was capable of adapting. The planet was declared unsustainable.
