Aschen bio-weapon

Biological weapon developed by the hostile Aschen, which is deployed in the form of a glowing, sphere. The weapon is designed to target and destroy a specific type of D.N.A., making it capable of wiping out entire select species -- while leaving all others unharmed.

The bio-weapons can be deployed from the ventral side of Aschen harvesters. The range of these devices is unknown, though it can be assumed that a single orb can inflict apocalyptic damage.

The Aschen also possess a number of other efficient delivery systems for deploying these weapons, helping them in their goals of wiping out competitive species and taking control of their natural resources.
