Forced Evolutionary Virus
A biological weapon designed to enhance soldiers that created the wasteland's most dangerous mutants.
The Forced Evolutionary Virus is a mutagenic agent developed before the Great War by the United States government. The virus was intended to produce a new breed of soldier capable of withstanding radiation and physical trauma. However, the virus proved volatile; while it granted immense strength and durability, it often stripped subjects of their fertility and higher cognitive functions depending on dosage.
