I think it was in a book. Not game or movie/cartoon.
I've always wanted to own the galaxy. (Star Wars CK2 Organisation Quest)

I see. I do not read the novels, so this kind of stuff flies under my radar.
Still, if it is this bad, then we should cure it somehow. Will the sagedice let us however?

And yes, it's Sith Alchemy a bioweapon/mistake. Semi/fully-sentient, but there are some possible cures:

P.S.
Cheriss maybe let's help her have a better [body] ;
seems she has a bit of a nack for Force research and non-organic research (droids, AI, Disruptors, etc.) ;
Might help us ally with Iron Knights (CNS ally) ;
But maybe let's ensure that Cheriss and Darra become friends(?), than further Force-cybernetic research might go a bit smoother?
The Sickness or Project Blackwing is basically an airborne virus with only one in one hundred naturally immune to it. If infected you do not have to die from the virus to reanimate. Even then the immune can become infected by getting bitten, though it's possible to make an anti-virus from their own blood to protect themselves.
The virus is sentient, able to learn from past experiences of its hosts and hell does they learn quickly, so while bit more stumbling that the living, they can go from not knowing how to use a blaster to deadly accurate in a few MINUTES. Oh and they're immune to headshots, so they can only be 'killed' by complete decapitation of the head or disintegration.
Fortunately, unlike most zombies, if they get too far from the source of the virus they die. Which is why they were trying to fix the hyperdrive of the Star Destroyer they were on. However, thanks to the effort of the protagonists the Hyperdrive was destroyed and the Star Destroyer was left to drift through space far from any inhabited systems.
Unfortunately, for anyone in the Star Wars Galaxy, Disney made them Canon. So don't be surprised if it's not the last heard from them.

They did?
They made the book 'Death Troopers' canon, but not 'Red Harvest' which dealt with the origin of the virus and the outbreak at a Sith Academy.
Or at least there's mention of the incident in Star Wars: Commander and Disney says everything in there (characters, ships, locations) with the exception of the plot is canon.

Star wars Zombies have Existed since the Rakghouls! Which is Technically The In canon Chronologically oldest Zombie-like Plague. It Existed since Around the Era of the Old Rpublic!... Not the Game Specific era, before that.
You forgot to mention that's only the imperial version is airborne. The regular virus is contact transfer only. IE via bites. Also doesn't just stop if you get far enough from the source.

Arguably the original form of blackwing, the sickness, is the worst. Those things can spread as far as they want regardless of the distance from the source of the virus. I think it even managed to infect tree based sentient lifeforms and even plants. The only upside is that you had to be bit to get that one.
While the imperial version really only infected mammalian life forms and stopped working after the escape pod with a zombie in it and the survivors hit a certain distance from the ship. I remember some dude with the original version turning despite being in orbit of the world where the virus came from.

I added more info to my post about the Sickness, the original form of blackwing.
Also the original form? Just as smart as the blackwing version. It also managed to take down a planet full of sith, darksiders, despite it being spread through bites only.

Don't forget the fact that the airborne version is so potent it can infect people through hazmat suits and stormtrooper armor that is designed to filter out harmful stuff.
I found out why there was a distance thing involved with the airborne version. The imperial scientists were smart. They made it so that any infected with blackwing would need constant exposure to the airborne version of the virus in order to stay animated.
Well technically the sickness still exists on Odacer-Faustin. No one purged or bombarded that planet until nothing remained of it as far as I know.

So in other words the Imperial Scientists had at least basic common sense and were more competent than Umbrella.
They were smarter then the sith who originally made the thing. Of course it was originally designed for immortality. The first dude who made it had no idea it would turn out like it did. The second dude did but was arrogant enough to think he could solve that issue and make it give proper immortality before it spread to far.
Props to him he did figure out how to do that. He just failed to prevent it from spreading and ended up becoming a zombie himself.

Blackwing and Rakghoul? Yep, don't worry. (I hate the later so much that I had sworn at some point that I would quit the MUSH I was part of if they ever showed up there. And I did, although there were a lot of other reasons for that. And I was playing a droid so I didn't need to care that much.) Other stuff I can come up with? Have fun with that.

By the way, since I'm going to head to bed in a bit since its close to midnight:
Suggest actions you would like to see beforehand. Easier to handle than the Write ins (which I'll keep anyway). Retaining the right to use or ignore whatever I want though. *falls over*

For action suggestions why not have a private dinner with Duchess Satine, we can even arrange it so that Obi-wan is there. Of course neither will know that beforehand.
