Darsay's Plague

Darsay’s Plague: A virulent and deadly viral outbreak that occurred within the central worlds of Kobra Sector in 50,520, Darsay’s Plague spread quickly and the Republic enforced a three-year ban on travel to the entire sector to stop its’ spread. The ban, which virtually cut off the central worlds of Kobra Sector from the rest of the galaxy, critically weakened the area and its’ ability to respond to the plague. During this period, around twelve billion persons contracted the disease, all of who died horribly. This event prompted the development of the Republic’s initial military bioweapons programs and counter-disease organizations like the Interstellar Red Cross and Virus Intervention Teams (VITs).
