Experiment 1785 "Daylight" Initiative

[Salt Salamander]

Virus/Bacteria
Experiment Name: Rust Scale
Leading Researcher(s): Salt
Assisting Personnel: N/A
Lethality Designation: [A] Absolution / [H] Hashasshin
Virus  Shape: Complex
Purpose: to target Hostile elements or a Populace who have a large percentage of their group(s) being Reptilian based life forms and "pacify" them.
Infection Method: Spore Inhalation, Skin Contact and Consumption of Contaminated Water/Food

Symptom(s): Cough, Scale Irritation, Increased Appetite, Weakening of Bones, Advancing Fatigue, Blindness,  Later In Infection Cycle: Fusing With Material Within Contact, Advanced Apraxia, Trachea Collapse.
Life Cycle: After Infection of the host a cyst forms within or attached to the brain within Hour One, after this the behavior of the afflicted becomes "Erratic, Extremely Paranoid, Reckless and Anti Social"
After 2 Hours the host begins to feel the affects of extreme hunger, fatigue and sight/motor function begins to become more imposing. Additionally Yellow-Beige discolourment appear on scales around limbs and neck.  
2.5-3 Hours All symptoms that weren't previously afflicting the victim suddenly come down like a hammer hitting them all at once reducing them to a dead/dying mess attached to something with the discolouration spreading and eventually covering every scale on the victim.
After Death: After the victim is diseased the discolourment of the scales begins to harden. Internally Liquefactive Necrosis is rapidly liquifying everything under the scale plates, reducing them to a blue tinted oil like substance. Another cyst develops in the throat area which begins constructing capsules that leak from the head with the liquid, inside the capsules are spore's containing viral DNA/RNA of "Rust Scale" which detonate and become air borne after contact with open air. 
TEST DEPLOYMENTS: Acting on intel provided by locate garrison's a Tie Reaper provided by ISB's A.W.R Division was loaded with a squadron of 69th Pararescue personnel and covertly deployed in the area, soon reaching the target vessel using jetpacks. Upon reaching the ship they scanned for the closest air duct to the hull plating and inserted a energy syringe (typically used for breaching chitin shells) They injected in "Rust Scale" which immediately spread throughout the vents. To avoid compromising themselves or the ship's integrity the energy syringe was boosted to the point where on exit of the hull it sealed it due to the pure heat. Within four hours the ship went silent and a probe droid was sent in, All pirates exhibited advanced infection signs and were non responsive. Test was deemed a success.

Conclusion
Weapon developed, stockpiled and ready for deployment at the authorization of SHC+ HEAVILY recommended that incendiary weapons or ordinance be on standby to cleanse the area.
