Originally used by the Olm against the [[species:Cradian|Cradians]] of the Bel-Dan III to poison their nursery pools, Dominion scientists working with Fruta were able to alter the nano-toxin to temporarily alter Megasaurian Tulaki physiology. When applied correctly, the altered nano-toxin causes rapid muscle wasting and a softening of keratinous tissue, and may induce moulting of bony shells or other large structures. While this causes the Megasaurian to decrease in size and physical power, it also significantly reduces the biological stresses on their organs and allows for more efficient heat distribution. | [{{ :image:dominion:fruta_eztanda_broodofdalathak_e2.jpg?300|<html><font color="black">Fruta Eztanda, Life Scientist, physician and inventor of the Nano-Treatment, ministering to her group's Priest on Corvus Beta</font></html>}}]In 3819 PT, a highly advanced growth inhibitor nano-toxin was discovered in the [[system:Bel-dan]] System by the scientist Fruta Eztanda of the Brood of Dalathak.

| - | On Origin, megasaurians were quite tightly restricted to temperate or colder zones as the square-cube law puts them right up to the limit of what Tulaki physiology can support. This treatment allows Megasaurians to endure short-term excursions into hotter or more cramped environmental conditions. The nano-toxin formula and treatment programme rapidly spread across the Dominion and was well-received as a boon to Megasaurians of all phenotypes. | + | On [[system:Origin]], megasaurians were quite tightly restricted to temperate or colder zones as the square-cube law puts them right up to the limit of what Tulaki physiology can support.

| - | The initial treatment was a 3-day regime, during which the Megasaurian uncomfortably purges large amounts of matter, and the effects lasted for several weeks. Once the effect of the treatments wore off, the Megasaurian experienced extreme hunger to fuel their growth as their natural biology reasserts itself. This process was both uncomfortable and inconvenient, so considerable effort was dedicated to improving the process. In the intervening years significant refinements have been made to the nano-treatment, so that the nano-toxin merely "shears off" certain portions of the patient's physiology, preserving most of the structure intact. Meanwhile, other nanites administered with the treatment sequester the removed tissue and when it is placed in a specialised container, holds it in a form of biological stasis. The whole process, while still uncomfortable, is much less messy and also more rapid, taking as little as half a standard hour. | + | The initial treatment was a 3-day regime, during which the Megasaurian uncomfortably purged large amounts of matter, and the effects lasted for several weeks.

| Of even greater utility is that the process is mostly reversible - when another nano-treatment is administered, this time calibrated for re-integration, the nanites seek out and bond with the removed tissues and quickly re-integrate them with the patient's physiology, restoring their previous Megasaurian attributes - although patients have complained of some lingering itchiness for a short time after the reintegration completes. The treatment nanites and equipment are manufactured in several facilities across the Dominion, and are distributed by the Ecclesiocracy to Faction scientists who request them. | Of even greater utility is that the process is mostly reversible - when another nano-treatment is administered, this time calibrated for re-integration, the nanites seek out and bond with the removed tissues and quickly re-integrate them with the patient's physiology, restoring their previous Megasaurian attributes - although patients have complained of some lingering itchiness for a short time after the reintegration completes.
