Imperium Unveils Two New Chemical Weapons

Garm: Named after the monstrous hound that guards the gates of Helheim, this weapon is just as direct and deadly as its namesake. In effects, the weapon is extremely similar to VX or Substance 33. However, the victim of a lethal dose only has five minutes on the outside to react and the lethal dose is much smaller than that of either of the aforementioned chemical agent and the time of death goes down. In fact, the quoted time of death is for the minimum lethal dosage taken through mucous membranes or skin, breathing any appreciable amount is almost always instantly fatal. The gas is colorless and has the faintest smell of persimmons. It is also a binary agent, which means the full effect of the gas will not occur until the two primary agents are combined.

Fenris: Named for the wolf that bit Tyr's hand off after he was subdued by the dwarvish chain Gleipnir. This agent is not a nerve agent but a molecular agent. Its primary purpose is to enter the body through whatever means available and break down the human body at the genetic level. In sub-lethal doses the exposee will suffer debilitating injuries to the respiratory and muscular systems, these injuries will become genetic mutations that will be passed on for generations through any future offspring. In lethal doses key parts of the human body will completely break down and even dissolve, leaving the victim fatally injured. In extremely large doses against unprotected targets, the absolute worst that can happen is that a victim become a half-solid gelatinous puddle of goo. Fatal dosages and times of death vary due to the nature of the agent. Like Garm, it is binary in nature and has a distinct citrus smell.

Prime Minister Alfons Petrovic shook his head in disgust. "Great. Two more things made solely to make others suffer..."

[First of all, I have ICBMs and nukes, both more advanced than anything currently used by any military IRL. Second, I don't use RL weapons because frankly they're inferior to anything I can make due to my tech bracket. Third, don't spam my thread with advertisements.]

We ask our friends to reconsider this, if not both, then at least Fenris. You will be punishing an entire nation for generations for the crimes of one.

We view chemical weapons as tactical, battlefield-only weapons. There are some extreme cases where this is not so, such as when large groups of civilians in cities start fighting Imperial soldiers and it becomes impossible to pacify the population by other means, but we have yet to encounter such a situation. In fact, we have never used lethal chemical agents on the battlefield, it is simply a visible deterrent against "tactical" nuclear weapons.

Also, the Imperium does not ever give away or sell its tactical and strategic WMD or delivery systems, not under any circumstances.
