- Zero and the crew return with the captured Skregg ship to the Earth...only to receive word that one of the Empire's fringe worlds, Durham, has become the first victim of the Skregg's new bioweapon. Zero is greatly angered by what the Skregg had done, but Catscratch feels even worse because his parents were on that world. With that, Zero orders the crew of the Spitfire to set course for one of the heavily populated Skregg worlds.
- A Bioweapon (バイオウェポン) is a living organism altered via artificial means (either by cybernetic enhancement, genetic engineering or some combination of the two) to serve as a weapon of war. Andross created and utilized several of these during the Lylat Wars.
- Bioweapons have been in use in various times and by various cultures in the course of history. Apparently, their use was not exclusive to the known galaxy either, as Ship remembered the use of the Plague bomb in an ancient war in a far-away galaxy. In addition, the extradimensional Charon were known to employ bioweapons extensively.
- In its later days, the Galactic Federation had a history of using bioweapons, initially gathering species from various planets to create a special-forces unit modeled after the Space Pirate Zebesians on the BOTTLE SHIP. This eventually led to the creation of Metroids, which were cloned to be used as weapons from fragments of DNA found on Samus Aran's Power Suit after her mission on planet Zebes. However, these experiments were done in secret, and as such was not supported by the majority of the Federation, but rather a "small group" that used a report written by Adam Malkovich as the basis for their operations.
- The Bioweapon (Medkit in TFC and Syringe in ETF) is a weapon in the Team Fortress series. When used on allies, it will either heal them to 100% health, regardless of their current hp, or if they're over their maximum HP, if will increase their health by five until it reaches 150% of their HP. The HP additional HP obtained from the Bioweapon will slowly "bleed" out over time, until the user has 100% of his HP. When used against enemies, it will infect them with a deadly Infection that can only be cured by a Medic on their team.

- Bioweapons have been in use in various times and by various cultures in the course of history. Apparently, their use was not exclusive to the known galaxy either, as Ship remembered the use of the Plague bomb in an ancient war in a far-away galaxy. In addition, the extradimensional Charon were known to employ bioweapons extensively. Bioweapons such as Trihexalon were known in the time of the Old Republic. During the Clone Wars, the Separatists employed bioweapons such as the Loedorvian Brain Plague and Blue Shadow Virus in their struggle against the Republic. Rokur Gepta used a bioweapon contained in his electromagnetic torpedo to devastate the planet Tund, and kill its inhabitants around 5 BBY. The Galactic Empire developed a number of bioweapons during its time as the dominant galactic government, perhaps the most infamous being the Emperor's Plague and a number of other species-specific agents. After the Empire's fragmentation, the various succeeding Imperial Warlords continued to develop new pathogens. The most infamous use of bioweapons in Galactic history was probably the deliberate release of the Krytos virus on Coruscant by Ysanne Isard. As technology progressed, bioweapons became more refined. In 11 ABY, Imperial scientists had developed sophisticated Nano-destroyers, artificial viruses keyed to a target's genetic makeup that were not only incurable but also completely undetectable by conventional medical means. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, both sides deployed bioweapons. The extragalactic Yuuzhan Vong destroyed several entire planets, most notably Ithor, using various biological agents, and infected a number of Jedi with Spore diseases. Although the New Republic never sanctioned its use, Galactic Alliance Intelligence deployed the Alpha Red weapon on the planet Caluula, wiping out its Yuuzhan Vong population but destroying the natural environment. Prior to 127 ABY, agents of the One Sith including Sith Lady Darth Maladi and Yuuzhan Vong Shaper Zenoc Quah sabotaged the joint Jedi-Yuuzhan Vong Ossus Project which aimed to terraform war-torn worlds. They infected the terraforming processes with the Vongspawn virus that caused flora and fauna to mutate and painful growths to appear on sentients. The ensuing tensions sparked the Sith–Imperial War which consolidated Sith-Imperial dominance over the galaxy by 130 ABY. During the Second Imperial Civil War, the Sith scientist Vul Isen developed viral spores capable of poisoning all organisms on a planet's oceans within days, rendering it uninhabitable. These were deployed as part of the Mon Calamari Genocide on Dac and later on Da Soocha. By 138 ABY, Darth Maladi had developed an improved version of Alpha Red known as Omega Red which was capable of eradicating entire species. Following the deployment of Darth Krayt elite Sith troopers during the Battle of Taivas, Emperor Roan Fel made a deal with Maladi to deploy the weapon during an assault on Coruscant. In reality, this played into the hands of her master Darth Krayt. It was capable of destroying all sentient lifeforms with the exception of members of the One Sith who were immune to its effects. However, Fel was killed by Antares Draco before he could deploy the deadly bioweapon on Coruscant.
- In its later days, the Galactic Federation had a history of using bioweapons, initially gathering species from various planets to create a special-forces unit modeled after the Space Pirate Zebesians on the BOTTLE SHIP.

However, these experiments were done in secret, and as such was not supported by the majority of the Federation, but rather a "small group" that used a report written by Adam Malkovich as the basis for their operations. When the secretive part of the Federation discovered how successful their Metroid cloning operation had become, they decided to "delete" the majority of the facility, in favour of the area where the Metroids were being propagated; Sector Zero. Unfortunately for them, the chairman of the Galactic Federation had plans to send a squadron to the BOTTLE SHIP investigating a distress signal emanating from there. It was then decided that they would place a mole amongst the squadron to prevent the others from finding out about the true nature of the facility, and kill any remaining survivors. This "Deleter" would also remove any traces of the previous plan to create a force modeled on that of the Space Pirates. Another complication soon presented itself though; the Bounty Hunter Samus Aran had also responded to the distress signal, threatening the Deleter's mission, making her another target. Samus was successful in discovering the true nature of the Federation's plans, however, and along with Anthony Higgs and Adam Malkovich's sacrifice, put an end to the Federation's plot to turn Metroids into a force of power.
