[edit]
Parasite Missile
Playing on the concepts brought about by the A-P Spore Torpedo and the Virus Injector, research teams have developed not only a purely organic missile, but also an organism capable of surviving tremendous g-force changes as well as having the natural defenses needed to deal with inanimate machines. The missile itself is inert and will simply pierce the outer skin of its target. The parasites stored within would then escape, attenuated to certain types of equipment, will seek out and discreetly sabotage such systems aboard the struck vessel, causing shipwide trouble and discord amongst the crew as they try to find the saboteurs.
