Operation Phoenix

In 2012 the Globe was consumed by a modified Lyssavirus (NBV-1), a form of rabies of which only 10% of the population proved to have natural immunity. The full effects of the disease are unknown due to a constant mutative strain leading to later outbreaks in the previously immune population. Medical research struggled to identify suitable solutions to the virulent NBV-1 leading to large populations being infected and wiped out in a short period.
