The SL.10.T.RWR32.000.82v.2 or "SLOT" virus was a technology created by The Society's leader, Etienne as a way to disrupt Clan communications and technology.[1] This virus mostly dealt with HPG and JumpShip devices as a part of its effect and would spread to the Inner Sphere Clans and their Occupation Zones.

History
The SLOT virus was unleashed in 3073 when Clan Jade Falcon attacked The Society. It would continue to spread to various Clan Occupation Zones and their HPG systems, notably the Wolves, Hell's Horses, and Ghost Bears. The Clan Technician Caste would work on containing the SLOT virus, and create an antivirus to combat the problem.[1] After the Wars of Reaving, the SLOT Virus was contained with some living traces (unintentionally) playing a role in serving communication with their Homeworld counterparts. The last of this virus was contained in Bug-Eye transports, gifted to the rest of the Spheroid Clans who later destroyed the ships after the SLOT virus rendered them inoperable.[2]
Effects
As Clan Hell's Horse wrote in their report, the effects of the SLOT virus started as a worm virus that would transfer to different HPGs. Once in, the virus would grow inside of the HPG where it would gather bandwidth and software until the system capacity was read as full. It would cause the HPG failsafe to go offline until the memory cache was cleared.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;
