A bioweapon known as a telomeric replicator has caused a spaceport quarantine on the Outer Rim planet Ammuud.
The infection, spread through contact, fluid, or airborne particulates, rapidly de-ages humanoids by an average of ten years, though no known cases have caused physical regression past the equivalent of 14.
Acute acne, emotional dis-regulation, and sudden lack of physical coordination have severely impacted Ammuud's planetary defense and law enforcement personnel. Riots have engulfed multiple nursing homes. The sector's elderly wealthy have been circumventing the spaceport quarantine zone by any means necessary in hopes of infection.
Due to Ammuud's proximity to the ancient worlds of the Sith, it is believed the telomeric replicator phenomenon is connected to the fundamental Sith motivation of aesthetic immortality.
