OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Shortly before cutting themselves off from the Galaxy, Avali scientists began researching alternatives to common cure-alls such as Bacta.
Jointly funded the project aimed to break medical reliance on such products, reducing their strategic risks. Progress was initially slow, as many didn't foresee a scenario that would isolate them from the galaxy.
When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded however, investment flooded in as supplies were strained. Satorian and Avali virologists began cultivating phages.
Phages had been utilised for millennia in Avali vanity projects such as Terraforming. They provided a safe way to breakdown highly toxic bacteria and compounds used in atmospheric construction. These became particularly important in counteracting Vong incursions into Avali controlled systems so investment and interest was plentiful.
Their research resulted in Pateviridae. Named after the Goddess of healing, the phage was potent enough to combat known infections.
- Intent: The sub is intended to give insight into Avali medicinal advancements that is somewhat grounded in future medicines. It also provides context for their successes in the Yuuzhan Vong conflicts.

- Nutritional Value/Allergies/Side Effects/ Purpose:
Pateviridae is a virus utilised in medicine and Terraforming activities. In the prior instance it has replaced antibiotics, being used to target and incapacitate bacterial infections.
Pateviridae has also seen limited use in cancer treatment, usually as a alternative to traditional Chemotherapy. Although it's effectiveness is heavily dependent upon catching cancerous cells early.
Generally, the virus is harmless to fauna and flora. However, as a biological agent allergic reactions are known to occur. Furthermore, Pateviridae in some species may temporarily weaken immune systems by targeting positive bacteria.
For the purposes of Terraforming, Pateviridae is used in a similar vein to biological weapons using missiles to disperse the viral payload. Once in the atmosphere, Pateviridae can be used to destroy bacterial compounds such as those utilised by the Yuuzhan Vong Terraformation processes.
- (Detail briefly in a list format actual contents of the known abilities, special features, qualities of note, etc. - If these are notable enough to be strengths, please add them to strengths )
- Immunization - Bacteria cannot easily adapt immunity to the Pateviridae phage.
- Manufacturing - Pateviridae is highly specialised. In the event a new bacterial infection is discovered, it can take years or decades to produce and train a effective phage.
