The mycoid weapon was taken to Klatt Enterprises in Alnath for testing. It was hoped that the bioweapon could be used to attack Thargoid hyperdrives and incapacitate them, stopping the Thargoids from traveling and ending the war in a single stroke. Test results on both Thargoid technology and two captured Thargoid specimens confirmed that the mycoid was debilitating to both, causing paralysis and extensive degeneration. At this point, several researchers left the project in protest over the use of the living specimens for weapon experimentation, but others considered it a moral obligation to use the bioweapon to prevent a catastrophic loss of human life at the hands of the Thargoids.<ref name="Klatt">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/383412-INRA-is-ingame?p=6037149&viewfull=1#post6037149 Frontier Forums: INRA is ingame (Post #420)]</ref> | The mycoid weapon was taken to Klatt Enterprises in Alnath for testing.

[[File:INRA-Stack-Base-Thargoid-Octagonal-Pit.png|thumb|250px|INRA Stack base Thargoid octagonal pit]]Experiments on a living Thargoid specimen also occurred at the INRA base named Stack. They built some testing apparatus and a secure enclosure. It's shaped like an octagonal pit. Recovered security reports indicate that the Thargoid specimen made several escape attempts, the most recent of which results in a number of deaths. The specimen appeared to be in poor physical health, but undoubtedly alive. The specimen was highly resilient and seemed to be able to withstand severe physical trauma, even to the point of losing limbs. Chemical and biological weapons were used on the specimen.<ref>[https://canonn.science/codex/stack/ INRA settlement Stack - Canonn] </ref> | |||
With its effectiveness beyond doubt, mycoid was then mass-produced at multiple INRA facilities, such as Mayes Chemical Plant in HIP 59382, before being shipped to Hogan Depot in HIP 7158 for storage and subsequent distribution to various additional sites.<ref name="Mayes">[https://imgur.com/a/yEB8j Imgur.com: INRA Base - HIP 59382 1B]</ref><ref name="Hogan">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/383412-INRA-is-ingame?p=6037464&viewfull=1#post6037464 Frontier Forums: INRA is ingame (Post #479)]</ref> | With its effectiveness beyond doubt, mycoid was then mass-produced at multiple INRA facilities, such as Mayes Chemical Plant in HIP 59382, before being shipped to Hogan Depot in HIP 7158 for storage and subsequent distribution to various additional sites.<ref name="Mayes">[https://imgur.com/a/yEB8j Imgur.com: INRA Base - HIP 59382 1B]</ref><ref name="Hogan">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/383412-INRA-is-ingame?p=6037464&viewfull=1#post6037464 Frontier Forums: INRA is ingame (Post #479)]</ref> | ||

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"/> | 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.

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. | It is believed that the mycoid weapon killed enough Thargoids to force them to retreat from human space entirely by 3151.
