The Denebian Phage is a disease that afflicts humanoids, killing thousands annually. The disease is highly adaptive to medical treatment. It disrupts their genetic code, then devours their body tissues and destroys cellular structures. One of the early symptoms of the disease is excruciating joint pain. Some victims had been known to die simply from the agony itself.
The disease targets the critical internal organs of the patients, and is fundamentally necrotic in nature. Because of the critical areas that the disease affects, the onset is rapid and death occurs very soon after infection.
One short-term solution makes extensive use of organ transplantation.
This usually gives rise to organ piracy, using transporter technology to steal healthy organs from the bodies of their owners.
