- Biological warfare is the use of biological agents as weapons with the intent to kill, injure, or somehow incapacitate an enemy and/or its infrastructure. Massively controversial, the UN and its member states have signed treaties against their use in wartime. Despite this, research and covert usage of such agents does continue unofficially by several states around the world. Due to the high mortality and infectivity of weaponised pathogens, research must be conducted under the strictest of conditions - specifically biosafety level 3 and above.
- Biological Warfare is a single player Trophy featured in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow HD. It is unlocked by retrieving the ND133.
- Biological warfare was the use of infectious agents, including neurotoxins and defoliants, to kill living organisms as an act of war. During the Clone Wars Doctor Nuvo Vindi recreated and modified the long-eradicated Blue Shadow Virus as part of the research effort of Jedi-proof biological weapons. Later during the same conflict, Morseerians scientists worked to develop an infectious agent against the Grand Army of the Republic's clone troopers. During the Galactic Civil War, the Galactic Empire used the planet Coyerti as a testing and development ground for biological weapons.
- Biological weapons may be employed in various ways to gain a strategic or tactical advantage over the enemy, either by threats or by actual deployments. Like some of the chemical weapons, biological weapons may also be useful as area denial weapons. These agents may be lethal or non-lethal, and may be targeted against a single individual, a group of people, or even an entire population. They may be developed, acquired, stockpiled or deployed by nation states or by non-national groups. In the latter case, or if a nation-state uses it clandestinely, it may also be considered bioterrorism.
- 1 BioWar attack may be made each turn. Target any area on map. However, once targeted, the same area can't be targetted again. Sea areas can't be targetted. Area of Effect
* 1 Target area and all areas within 2
* 2 Target area any all adjacent areas
* 3,4 Target area
* 5 No effect
* 6 Your capital is affected Effect of Attack

There is an overlap between biological warfare and chemical warfare, as the use of toxins produced by living organisms is considered under the provisions of both the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention. Toxins and psychochemical weapons are often referred to as midspectrum agents. Unlike bioweapons, these midspectrum agents do not reproduce in their host and are typically characterized by shorter incubation periods.
