      Elite Pilot Disturbing?
      Try a self-aware, force sensitve, airborne-fluidborne plague that creates zombies with a hive mentality and can learn new things from experience, wield lightsabers and blasters, and communicate through unearthly screams.
      That ain't disturbing. That would make you say "Oh, that's the Nope virus. It was orignally created in planet Illnevergothere by Darth Fuckthisshit."

      Death troopers happened AFTER an new hope I believe, And I also think the death troopers are non-canon, Whilst the virus is. I have a few theories. One being that, Blackwing took place an few years before ROTJ or inbetween ESB and ROTJ Another being that the empire had the virus in mind, But after they heard of the accident, The experiment was to be forgotten and not to be mentioned again. Final theory, The empire simply didn't know about it, And vader and palps were the only ones to know. Other then the imperials on the ship, And the mission was simply classified. If this was an Joke, I at least shared some thoughts I've kept for an long time. And if it wasn't, Hopefully you took the time to read the whole thing and we can all agree they just didn't want to mention it out of laziness.

    The fact that this was ordered by Vader gives a whole new meaning to his statement in A New Hope: "The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force."

    Great explanation of Blackwing. You DID forget one small detail at the end there that Han realised at the end of Death Troopers. The infected need to be in contact with the Blackwing gas to survive. Infected flew fighters out of the Star Destroyer at the end then they stopped functioning at a distance from the ship. Apart from that small, though significant detail, fantastic video.

    This is just another reason why the Expanded Universe is so so much better and indepth than this new "canon" crap that Disney has created. Did you know that in the old MMO online game Star Wars Galaxies (original live servers shut down unfortunately but still some emulators of the game here and there) they came out with an entire section on the planet Dathomir in regards to the Blackwing virus? They implemented this sometime during the NGE phase (players of the original game will know what NGE means) and it has a long line of quests you can run which included containing the virus from spreading including killing off infected Nightsisters, as well as having to fight an undead rancor! You definitely needed a group to take that on.

    This could make a good indie horror game. Like something goes wrong on a star destroyer and you're a captured rebel. You wake up and notice that your cell is open and all the red emergency lights are on. Theres smoke filling the cell block. And like the whole objective of the game is to make your way to the command deck to radio for help. I don't know something like that. Just trying to survive. Theres also like no hud and no compass to see where you're going, so you kinda just have to guess which direction is to the command deck. Idk it seems like a coolish idea to me.

      Ooh, I can write out a synopsis; the FEV was developed in 2077 by West-Tek researchers, hoping to develop a cure for biological weapons used by the Chinese in the Resource Wars.
      However, they found the serum was better suited to creating super-soldiers and the research was seized by the US government and conducted at Mariposa Military Base. However, the soldiers assigned to the base were disgusted by the inhumane and lethal testing conditions which were used on live prisoners, Chinese POWs and regular Chinese-Americans. The soldiers revolted, executed the scientists and sealed off the base. They brought their families and their T-45B power armor to Broken Hills, where they would found the Brotherhood of Steel.
      A couple hundred years later, a former Vault Dweller, now trader, named Richard Grey was exploring some ruins with a business acquaintance named Harold. There were some other people but they all died. The surviving two came across some vats of green liquid in the former Mariposa base, falling in, they both succumbed to the FEV. Harold becoming a ghoul-like mutant who would later become a tree, and Richard becoming a blob-like hivemind that would later be known as the Master.
      In the early 2160’s, the Master began experimenting using the FEV vats, “dipping” captured humans to turn them into mutants. Most large and muscular, some twisted beyond belief and even some psychic. He believed Super Mutants were the next step in human evolution and were needed if we were to survive in the harsh, post apocalyptic world. He also learns that the virus is most effective on humans with minimal mutation due to radiation, AKA pure-strain Vault Dwellers. This way they retain most, if not more of their intelligence; otherwise their dum. The Master begins to amass a massive army of Super Mutants which he controls telepathically, and orders them to raid human settlements and Vaults to find humans to kidnap and convert.
      An unknown Vault Dweller, while searching for a replacement water chip, came across the Super Mutant threat in the city of Necropolis. This eventually led them to destroying the Vats in the Mariposa base (at the cost of all their companions), and the Master, either by convincing him Super Mutants were sterile and could not be sustained, or shooting him in the face.
      By 2241, the remnants of the Pre-War US government have begun crawling out of the shadows like cockroaches in nice suits in the form of the Enclave. From the Poseidon oil rig, they kidnap miners from the town of Redding to excavate the Mariposa Military Base and recover what’s left of the FEV virus. Unlike the Enclave troopers, the miners do not have advanced power armor and are exposed to the FEV and begin to mutate. They seize weapons and turn on their captors, though these “2nd generation” mutants are not as bright as the first generation created by the Master. Then I dunno, I skipped the Military Base entirely when I played FO2.
      The Enclave takes back samples of the FEV and begins testing to convert it to a virus to wipe out anybody BUT pure-strain humans, like them. Meaning Super Mutants, and humans who’ve stayed outside for too long. They also do some mutation testing, creating the massive Secret Service Agent, Frank Horrigan. Then a descendant of the original Vault Dweller blows up the oil rig.
      Then the Enclave somehow escapes to DC and they kept the FEV and are going to put it in the water and go through with the original plan, also a bunch of Super Mutants have popped up but they’re all dum-dums. The Institute has ALSO somehow created FEV completely independently and Bethesda is really bad at writing.
      Meanwhile back on the Best Coast (for Fallout games to be set), the remaining Super Mutants struggle with their sanity and place in the world, as bias against Super Mutants among humans is still strong, and many Super Mutants and nightkins struggle with memories of their past and Stealth Boy addiction. All of them are remnants, set adrift by the death of the Master and the loss of his commands. Some try to rally around any kind of Mutant leader that reminds of them of the Master.

    Wow! I must say I didn't think something so gruesome as what others became from the Blackwing virus would exist in the Star Wars universe. I mean sheesh, their skin is like decayed and bloodied beyond recognition and they're missing limbs. Then again, the only experience I have of Star Wars is the movies and the Clone Wars TV show. Also, something else that creeps me out about the infected Stormtroopers is how some of them have their mouth-guards of their helmets seemingly torn out. FilmComics himself said that the infected have the ability to learn to the point of operating complex machinery but started out mindless and slow, so I'm thinking that seeing as how they best transmit the disease by biting, that of course the first thing they attempt to do is get their helmets off so they can use their teeth, and yet with the limited intelligence they likely have at the time of this early objective the only thing they probably can think to do is tear apart the lowers of their helmets until they can expose their mouths. That's truly creepy, and don't even get me started on some of that artwork for them... 0_0
