Planet of the Orange-Red Sun Series Volume 10 Guilds, Genetics, and Gods

With the Imperium now taking extreme measures to safeguard this terrible bio genetic agent, new methods were found to steal samples. It began with an interception of a delivery from Aquila Prime Genetics Research Laboratory, acquired by Father Janos of the True Believers, who delivered it to Jan Rumani, was the grandson of the late Bindaz Rumani, founder of Mal Dynamics and a member of the old Consortium and whom Zarita had killed, along with his two compatriots. Jan wanted revenge the rare earths found on the heavily populated planet of Aquila Prime, but that world charged exorbitant prices for this critical component of the engines his vast enterprise built. Now, he had a cheap way to get all the rare earths for next to nothing. The year, 1325. At this time, many research facilities on many worlds now had ongoing research using this bio genetic agent; hence, secure shipments of the agent were routinely made, allowing this recent theft. Jan Rumani duplicated the cylinders, installed them in one of his new drones, and secretly dropped it into orbit around Aquila Prime, becoming the first planetary test of the effectiveness of this bio-genetic weapon.

This procedure worked on the victims, but it was expensive, costing ten thousand credits per person.
