Engut's Bane was a virus that spread in the Engut Confederation on Makela, it was spread by humans testing biological weapons on innocent Makelan nomadic tribes in the Engut Confederation. This virus decimated the Engut Tribal Confederation, wiping out 4 million people in just four weeks. The rapid spread and high mortality rate of the virus led to widespread intergalactic condemnation and outrage.
Engut's Bane first attacks the immune system, weakening the body's defences and allowing the virus to spread rapidly. The virus then infiltrates the respiratory system, causing initial symptoms of severe discomfort and paving the way for more catastrophic effects.
Symptoms
Early Stage
Painful Blisters
Large, pus-filled blisters erupt across the skin, particularly around the face, neck, and torso. These blisters ooze a foul-smelling fluid that causes further infection upon contact.
Bleeding Sores
The blisters eventually burst, leaving raw, bleeding sores that refuse to heal. The constant bleeding contributes to severe blood loss and weakness.
Organ Failiure
As the virus spreads internally, it attacks major organs, causing excruciating pain and rapid organ failure. The liver and kidneys are particularly affected, leading to jaundice and a buildup of toxins in the body.
Advanced Stage
Necrosis
Flesh around the sores begins to rot, giving off a nauseating stench. Necrosis spreads quickly, causing gangrenous limbs and digits.
Respiratory Collapse
The virus attacks the respiratory system, filling the lungs with fluid and blood. Victims suffer from violent coughing fits, often coughing up blood and tissue.
Hemorrhaging
Internal hemorrhaging becomes rampant, with blood pouring from the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. This gruesome symptom often marks the final stages of the disease.
Human Propoganda
Before testing the weapon, the Federation created a lot of propaganda painting Makelans as evil and savage.
