The SL.10.T.RWR32.000.82v.2 or "SLOT" virus was a technology created by The Society's leader, Etienne as a way to disrupt Clan communications and technology.[1] This virus mostly dealt with HPG and Jumpship as a part of its effect and would event spread to the rest of the Inner Sphere Clans and their Occupation Zones.

History
The SLOT virus was created in 3073 during the Jade Falcon Clan's brawl with The Society. It would continue to spread to various Clan Occupation Zones and their HPG systems, with the Wolves, Hell's Horses, and Ghost Bears. The Clan technician caste would work on containing the SLOT virus, and create an antivirus to combat the problem[2]. After the Wars of Reaving, the SLOT Virus was contained with some living traces (unintentionally) playing a role in serving communication with their homeworld counterparts. The last of this virus was contained in Bug-Eye transports, gifted to the rest of the Spheroid Clans who later destroyed the ship after the SLOT virus rendered them inoperable.[3]
