In AIC when you start your new game. From the {Technology Menu} Human Players can REMOVE BIO WEAPONS from there game, if desired 
The Plague Bomb represented in AIC is the same as in the Stock se4 Component
The Bio Weapon used by the AI Player Fazrah is the same that is available to the Human Players.
Is the Fazrah the First AI Player that you have ever seen use a Plague Bomb, in your se4 games
The Fazrah is not a usual leader on average, with the AIC AI Player Leader Board.
When playing AI Campaign, as a Human Player please feel free to use any Weapon against the AI Players; this includes the Plague Bomb.
If this results in a real problem, I will revise the Standard se4 Plague Bomb component to be less potent for a future AIC update.
Fyron: do one turn of damage before being cured by facilities. {JLS: Agreed, only if Hospitals today could Cure-All before a Virus hits, I WOULD NOT HAVE THIS FLU}
Taera: that means Mechanoid racial trait is finaly worthwhile
Grandpa Kim: But let me point out that a couple of light cruisers with ordinary weapons could wipe out a small colony just as quickly as plague.
Loser: Aren't they more interesting as a viable weapon
Please add some suggestions for next update:
Taera: a higher research cost base
Taera: Cut the range in half maybe, but bio weaps should still be a viable weapon.
Ed Kolis: Revise description
oleg: How about level one - range one. level two - range two, etc
Mechanoid racial trait cost = AIC is currently at 300 Cost. The se4 cost is 1000 Points
