  • Biological weapon developed centuries ago on Omega IV (TOS: "The Omega Glory")
    • Eventually an innate component of the biosphere of Omega IV (TOS: "The Omega Glory")
    • Sufficient exposure to atmosphere of Omega IV provides immunity to the virus (TOS Novel: Forged in Fire; TOS: "The Omega Glory")
      • Generally requires two to three days of exposure to gain immunity (TOS Novel: Forged in Fire)
  • Causes massive dissociation of water from all organic tissues (TOS Novel: Forged in Fire; TOS: "The Omega Glory")
    • Inevitably fatal without the provided immunity (TOS Novel: Forged in Fire; TOS: "The Omega Glory")
    • Physical remains are fully desiccated into a mineralized powder (TOS Novel: Forged in Fire; TOS: "The Omega Glory")
  • Used by the Albino as the building block for a number of custom viral strains due to its guaranteed lethality and ease of genetic modification (TOS Novel: Forged in Fire)
