Overview
This nerve agent was very effective and had a high mortality rate.[citation needed]
It was used in several incidents in Wei itself by the Capellan Confederation in the Fourth Succession War[2], but also in other worlds like when Thuggee cultists made use of the UrbStryc-A from Wei during the Capellan-St. Ives War attacking major population centers on Indicass and St. Ives[1], and it got worse during the course of the Jihad when the UrbStryc-A from Wei would be used on dozens of worlds resulting in deaths numbering in the tens of millions and with half the planetary population of Wei killed.[1]
Notes
Tamas Rubinsky survived to exposure to the UrbStryc-A Nerve Gas, but he acquired Degenerative Feedback Anomaly which left him unable to use a Neurohelmet and thus incapable of ever being able to again pilot a BattleMech.[3]. It cannot be confirmed if this was a side effect of surviving the nerve agent or a combination of the agent and another preexisting condition on Tamas.[citation needed]
