Description:
Alpha Red is perhaps one of the most famed chemical weapons that has ever been produced in the Galaxy.
The compound was originally created by a Chiss biochemical division of the same name. The Weapon was created in response to the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy and their dominance upon most worlds. The chemical was structured in such a way that it could only effect Yuuzhan Vong. Once the chemical was introduced, generally in aerosol form, it's effects were absolutely devastating on not only the Yuuzhan Vong themselves, but the Yuuzhan Vong's biots.
The famed Yuuzhan Vong technology began to malfunction and die off, Vonduun Crab Armor became soft, Blorash Jelly Liquified, Amphistaffs refused to harden, Yorik Coral began to deteriorate and lose its color, and Villips had difficulty communicating. The Yuuzhan Vong themselves suffered horrifying effects under the contagion of Alpha Red, their skin becoming pale, their skin loosening, their bones becoming brittle and their organs beginning to liquify within their body. Eventually the Yuuzhan Vong would pass, but the effects of the Alpha Red would remain until eventually even their corpses began to bleed from their ears and eyes until their bodies liquefied.
Initially the compound seemed like a complete success, that was until Alpha Red began to show its true colors. The compound mutated, shifting and beginning to effect other species. Alpha Red began to effect other species and slowly began to wreak havoc on several worlds. The producers of Alpha Red were horrified and quickly cancelled the project, and had nearly all samples of the chemical destroyed.
Unfortunately, as with all things dangerous in the galaxy, Alpha Red survived. It was later turned into Omega Red by the Sith Lord Darth Maladi. As well as the samples Maladi used several larger vials were kept stored by elements across the galaxy.
It was these Vials that eventually fell into the hands of the organization known as the Star Cabal.
The Star Cabal for thousands of years had been an organization who opposed the spread of Force Users and their domination over the galaxy. The organization met its height at the same time as the One Sith, the new Sith faction that had slowly crept from the core and swiftly carved its way through the Republic. Seeing the One Sith as it's height and witnessing the factions profuse use of the Yuuzhan Vong and their Technology, the Star Cabal began to research the famed compound known as Alpha Red.
At first the organization met nothing but failure, stumbling upon broken recipes and half cocked theories about what Alpha Red truly was. These stumbling failures however quickly met an end when the Star Cabal heard of a crashed Imperial Remnant Star Destroyer supposedly containing samples of Alpha Red. The organization quickly ventured to Tatooine, using ancient technologies to clear the site of the Star Destroyer and gain access. While the Organization stole vials of Alpha Red the duo of Alric Kuhn and [member="Danger Arceneau"] happened upon them, seeing their thievery and knowing exactly what it would mean if Alpha Red returned to the galaxy the two began a long process of reclaiming to compound.
While Danger and Alric worked to reclaim the Alpha Red, the Star Cabal instead began to perfect the compound.
The Star Cabal, using thousands of years of research obtained from The Black Codex managed to alter and eventually perfect the Serum into what it was meant to be, a Vong Killer. The Compound was stabilized, halting it's spontaneous tendency to mutate. This in simple terms meant that the Alpha Red produced by the Star Cabal was chained to its original purpose of working only on Yuuzhan Vong.* However, due to the makeup of the chemical, the Alpha Red II does not work on every single Yuuzhan Vong. Certain Genetic strengths and immunal responses means that on certain Vong the Alpha Red II will not work.**
The Organization quickly began to try out its new serum, utilizing assets from Titan Industries test the compounds effectiveness. With Alric Kuhn's attempt to get close to the Star Cabal he fed them an ample amount of Yuuzhan Vong Biots and even Yuuzhan Vong themselves, knowing the horror of what could happen if Alpha Red was once again released. Eventually, Alric and Danger managed to seize the Facilities where the Alpha Red was kept, capturing the production centers, the Black Codex, and hundreds of members of the Star Cabal itself before Alpha Red MK II could ever be released on any Yuuzhan Vong World or anything else.
Knowing what they had, and knowing what it meant, Alric and Danger immediately shifted gears towards utilizing the perfected Alpha Red for something else. Through their combined Corporate might Alric and Danger quickly began to experiment with The Alpha Red MK II. Eventually these experiments spawned Zeta Red and Theta Red, two products that can be used for good.
When Titan Industries fell, and Alric Kuhn fled to wild space with his now deceased wife, Alric took all known samples and formulas of Alpha Red II with him. Taking the knowledge and keeping it secret the Titan of Industry managed to stay any hopes of the substance ever being produced. Now, with his return to form and the founding of Void Genetics, Alpha Red II is once again being produced in minuscule batches for the formation of Zeta and Theta Red.

*This, in essence, is undeniably a chemical weapon. This type of thing borders a superweapon and it previous installments this has been acknowledged. Like with that submission it shall be very clear that the utilization of this weapon is not an instant win. No use of Alpha Red II will ever force anything upon those effected even if they are full Yuuzhan Vong.
