Project supplementary research report:

We have reason to believe that there is a possibilty this virus was the downfall of the ancient Daam K'vosh Empire. Tests reveal that the virus itself is not naturally occuring, but was rather artificially engineered; we can only guess as to the purpose of the virus' development. It is possible that it was created as a sort of organic nanite, designed to help heal wounds or cure diseases present in K'vosh physiology. If this is the case, we can only assume that something, or someone, altered the organism's behavior, causing it to overtake the host body rather than repair it.

Some speculation as to whether or not this is the true source of the Nomad's origin is in question as well. The virus may have converted the host Daam K'vosh's physical body into the forms we see today, or at the very least something similar, which would support the theory that the Nomads were created by the K'vosh, but brings to light new reasons as to the downfall of their Empire and the disappearance of their species from Sirius space.

More research is underway to prove or disprove these theories, additional datafeeds will be sent when results are available.
