Paralysis toxin was a Ssi-ruuvi toxin used to incapacitate populations for capture and eventual entechment. The toxin was deployed from paralysis canisters released from D'kee-class landing ships over enemy population centers. The paralysis toxin was activated either by contact with the skin, or inhalation. The individual affected by the toxin was paralyzed with all voluntary nerve activity shut down. The victim was alert during the paralysis, which could last for up to eight hours.[1]
