Mass suicide usualy has to do something with some religion or cult, but there may be other explanations, but for that we need more information about what was found in that colony and in what state it was.

There have been reports of the populations of worlds stolen by the Nation with hardly a shot fired. Those seem more related in my mind than something like the Blood Raiders, for example.

My money are on that they were sick with a deadly (and familiar) virus.

Well if it's the Jovian Disease it would certainly be a turn around on its pre-established nature.
Kyonoke simply kills the cells in the body, so that wouldn't be it.
I'm out of ideas, what other virus' are there? ______

The Jovian Disease is a deep, profound depression that can kill in days, but as Ghost Hunter said, it's genetic in nature.
I am very skeptical anybody could rewrite the disease to affect non-Jovians, as I would imagine the condition is related to the removal of various emotions in the Jove, so that possibility can likely be ruled out.
Kyonoke, although it's been in the news lately, is a very messy sickness. The hauler crew would have known if the Kyonoke Pit disease were involved here. Plus, the notes left by survivors were vague and left no reasons for the depression. If they were infected with Kyonoke, there's no reason for them to be so cryptic about it.
Oddly enough, it sounds a lot more like the Jovian Disease than anything else, but that doesn't quite fit either.

i came to the same conclusions. but it's obviously note worthy. i mean... in a universe of billions, **** happens, sure. but this was worth mentioning for some reason. i'm very curious.

Don't you guys get it? Those poor miners committed mass suicides because they lost their entire generational savings, thanks to Bad Bobby and his Titans 4 U scam. What other choices did they have?
Sad sad day.

Perhaps it is a cult? ________________________________________________

Let's not forget the evidence of a sleeper quarantine in wormhole space. Perhaps someone was sneaking around one of the sleeper or talocan structures and picked up a little something and went home and accidentally spread it around...maybe it wasn't an accident...

perhaps it is a viral memetic lifeform in that fashion it could express itself as a genetic disorder a disease and something that could cross over to a uplift society such as the sleepers.
example of the idea

Nothing to RP here. There's a vast assortment of possible causes and probable outcomes from such an event. No clues in space. No obvious connection to other events.
Moving on.

This brings to mind the submission contained in a report of one of the Sansha Invasions that citizens appeared to have meekly boarded the drop ships without any struggle.
I reckon there's some sort of perverted mind-control jiggery pokery experiment going on here - where were Ghost Hunters' chums on the night in question, eh?

Not everything in the news is part of something bigger. That said, I can think of more than a few entities out there that could be considered a virus. Anyone read the IGS lately :p
