NEUROTOXIN should be kept on a need-to-know basis, the weapon's lethal potential can be exemplified tenfold (as we've seen with Valhalla).

Down-scaling and mass-producing the weapon as well poses serious risks to Rheinland and the surrounding houses. Weapons of this scale are kept more for deterrence than anything else, if the colonies were to uncover that we were creating weapons of mass destruction on a scale unlike any seen - we'd face economic & political consequences at the bare minimum.

NEUROTOXIN's practical usage differs heavily from what we saw during Operation "Gift" a while back, that iteration of the NEUROTOXIN was supercharged by the "Dragon's Egg" an alien power source discovered on Weimar several years earlier. I knew utilizing it would likely cause system wide consequences. But in using it we have contained the Alien infestation to the Suhl Anomaly and gained a more practical means of entering Earhart for study. The cost was high, but fortunately no one can get their hands on that iteration of the weapon now.

I was willing to trust the Imperials with this operation, the weapon's usage, and knowledge of the Alien relic. If we truly desire a failsafe and means of monitoring other high risk areas in Sirius - regarding the nomads - we need a means of travel and deterrence that can operate nearly endless underway. We do not currently have those capabilities.

NEUROTOXIN will only reach it's full "practical" potential aboard a large scale capital ship, it was designed for either station-defense or larger warships. The power-supply of a Tirpitz would overload after a few shots.
