Generals:Chemical and Biological Weapons
From Command and Conquer Wiki
[edit] Overview
During the GLA conflict, much of the war was centered around preventing the GLA from launching their biological weapons upon the world. The GLA did not adhere to the international treaties banning such weapons such as the Geneva Protocol[1] and would implement them whenever they could. The GLA were known to tip their tank shells with small amounts of anthrax and pump their Scud warheads with toxins prior to launch.
The GLA tended to combine what anthrax they were able to obtain with a corrosive ooze made from an unspecified cocktail of lethal chemicals, tinted a lurid green apparently for shock value. The deployment of this hazardous material called for the invention of some bizarre makeshift 'delivery systems', perhaps most infamously the Toxin Tractor. A slow-moving ordinary civilian farming tractor, it was fitted with cannisters of the toxic substance on the sides, and mounted a hose-like turret able to spray it at infantry over surprising distances. The deaths of infantrymen in its way tended to be mercifully short, but horrific, as their organs burned and they asphyxiated.
The GLA even experimented in creating newer and deadlier strains of anthrax on their own. Their research was successful and the result was 'Anthrax Beta'. The GLA general Dr. Thrax took it one step further. Thrax was a a brilliant chemist and created some of the most deadly strains of anthrax ever seen. His Anthrax Gamma could kill unprotected infantry in a matter of seconds if not treated.
Very noticeably the GLA outfitted their superweapon, the Scud Storm, with missiles that had anthrax warheads. They also maintained some old transport planes, able to drop a large air-detonating Anthrax Bomb.
