'''Mycoid''', also referred to as the "mycoid virus" and the "mycoid particle", is a fungus-based biological weapon that was developed by the [[Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm]] to combat the first [[~~Thargoids|~~Thargoid]] invasion in the mid-3100's.

'''Mycoid''', also referred to as the "mycoid virus" and the "mycoid particle", is a fungus-based biological weapon that was developed by the [[Intergalactic Naval Reserve Arm]] to combat the first [[Thargoid]] invasion in the mid-3100's. Although devastatingly effective at the time, the Thargoids are believed to have developed an immunity to mycoid since their initial exposure to it, making the use of mycoid in the [[Second Thargoid War]] highly unlikely.

==History==

Line 24:

After successfully launching the mycoid missiles at a [[Thargoid Mothership]] and making his escape, Jameson was horrified to learn from his sensors that the weapon was not just disabling the enemy vessel, but was in fact killing every Thargoid on board. Unfortunately, Jameson did not live to tell the tale. INRA had installed a program that shut down his ship's systems to ensure that he did not return from his mission. His ship crashed on HIP 12099 1 B.<ref name="JJ-386" />

=== Legacy ===

It is believed that the mycoid weapon killed enough Thargoids to force them to retreat from human space entirely by 3151. Analysis of [[Thargoid Scout]] wreckage discovered in the HIP 17125 system on September 28, 3303 confirmed that the vessel had been contaminated by mycoid, and was likely one of many victims of CMDR Jameson's successful attack.

Following the rediscovery in 3303 of several abandoned INRA bases where mycoid had been developed and tested, as well as the wreckage of CMDR Jameson's ship which included audio logs of his mission, the moral dilemma of INRA's use of mycoid during the first Thargoid conflict became a point of controversy among the public. However, it is widely assumed that the Thargoids have since developed an immunity to mycoid, rendering it an ineffective weapon against them in the [[Second Thargoid War]].<ref name="KB">''[[Elite Dangerous]]'' [[Knowledge Base]] > The Thargoids > Vulnerabilities</ref>
