Depopulation Bomb	comment	A plot device, such as a weapon (usually biological, chemical or nuclear) or a natural agent (like a plague/virus), which drastically reduces the human population in size while leaving a few charismatic survivors. Sometimes Only Fatal to Adults. In order for a Cozy Catastrophe to remain cozy and small scale, it helps if said cozy catastrophe takes place After the End. It helps to justify the existence of a nearly deserted but intact urban wasteland that, even if civilization DID collapse in the real world for any reason other than a Depopulation Bomb, would probably still be teeming with people only a few months after the fact. Sometimes major characters have a fortunate random immunity to the widespread plague or chemical/bio-weapon. The use of a biological or chemical weapon may be due to the Nuclear Weapons Taboo. This is popular for several reasons, largely because it justifies other tropes: It's more budget friendly to pull off a depopulated future with a single band of familiar survivors and a bunch of faceless enemy mooks than it is to portray a vastly overpopulated future on the other end of the Malthusian Disaster Spectrum. Alternatively, a Depopulation Bomb that doesn't wipe out some 90% of humanity may still justify a Crapsack World. Similarly, a depopulation bomb justifies how a Scavenger World, where there's more useful stuff lying around than people who need it, may exist for any reasonable period of time. If the Depopulation Bomb is Only Fatal to Adults, then this trope justifies Parental Abandonment (e.g., Jeremiah, The Tribe, His Dark Materials). It also justifies storylines in which children and teens have to take on the responsibilities of adults, or form extended families of their own. Alternatively, if the Depopulation Bomb only affects one sex, then you have a case of Gender Rarity Value (and a justified Lady Land or No Woman's Land). An underpopulated world in which the Depopulation Bomb only affects humans (or only primates, only mammals, etc...) justifies a return to hunter-gatherer or other primitive lifestyles that can only support relatively small (non-industrial-level) populations, thus solving the issue of how the characters feed themselves. May be part of an anvilicious Gaia's Vengeance. Random genetic immunity to the virus-form of the Depopulation Bomb can be a plot device in itself, as an allegory for historical and/or contemporary themes (like racism and segregation) or as the social obstacle for a pair of Star-Crossed Lovers. Australia, due to its relatively high industrialization, isolated geography, and population of English-speaking Caucasians, is very likely to be the one nation that survives the cataclysm mostly intact, and become a new global superpower, at least in western media. Japan's proximity to the Asian mainland makes its survival dicier, but Japanese authors have this thing about their nation's invincibility, so look for it to be the fortunate land of survivors in anime and other homegrown media. In films in this thread, expect outside shots to have lots of Low Angle Empty World Shots, night scenes (less people around) and early morning (Sunday morning, when most people sleep in) scenes. Expect the actors to have to rerecord their dialogue to take out the busy highway sounds in the background. These are all tricks film makers use to make a world look like it's been hit by a Depopulation Bomb, and movies achieve widely varying results with them. It may be worth noting that while the Neutron Bomb provides inspiration for many such weapons, a neutron bomb is not a straightforward "It only kills people" bomb. It is a thermonuclear weapon, so this is mostly a simplistic comparison to other bombs with more straightforward purposes. That is, if you actually care about things like scientific accuracy. Compare the much longer-term Sterility Plague.

Depopulation Bomb / int_23ff591	comment	In Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Tiberium itself is intended as both this and a device for terraforming by the Scrin. Ironically, they don't care about either effect. They only seed planets with Tiberium for one-time future harvesting (once all planetary mass is converted Tiberium, it won't grow anymore) They only attack humans because they're still alive; normally, Tiberium kills off all non-Tiberium-based life before the detonation of a significant mass of liquid Tiberium, which signals them to arrive. Once they do arrive, they judge that humanity needs to be exterminated anyway, as they're apparently criminally insane — GDI and Nod are still fighting each other during a freaking alien invasion, after all. The Scrin, who themselves are so uncaring about other species as to destroy entire planets for harvesting, call humans "Warlike in the extreme".

When the story starts, the already sparsely populated Iceland is down to about 60% of the population the country had in real life at the time of publication note Iceland's real population is growing while the story's is static, so the ratio is dropping as the comic continues. Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland, meanwhile, went from populations in the millions to numbers oscillating between 10,000 and 20,000.

In 2009, two androids named Martin and Alicia recreate a human named Cain from uncontaminated DNA samples. In "Rite of Passage", humanity was wiped out centuries ago through unknown means. The Vorak discovered Earth sometime later and used their genetic expertise to recreate humanity using the samples left behind on skeletons. In "The Human Factor", humanity is almost completely wiped out in the final phase of the war between the Free Alliance and the Coalition of Middle Eastern and Pacific States. On April 23, 2084, the Free Alliance launched an all-out attack on the Eastern Coalition in the hope of finally bringing the long war to an end. However, they underestimated the Coalition's firepower, which was equal to their own, and Earth is rendered uninhabitable.

If anyone on that list does not install the game within one day after the server starts, they inexplicably die. On the planet Seconia (pop. 12.5 million), the ithicans are all connected with each other through some natural network, and thus everyone would know each other on an unconscious level. Unfortunately, only eight copies of the game were made on that planet, and only the owners of those eight copies survived the ensuing near-extinction of the species.

Tidal waves and flooding wiped out the coastal regions while the surviving land was ravaged by shifts in the global climate and resulting famines. It's also been indicated that in addition to lower population and vastly reduced lifespans, the birth rate has dropped dramatically. Depending on your definition, Third Impact, too. Fans just can't seem to agree just how depopulating the latter's effect was. Instrumentality depopulates as definitely as old-fashioned explosions, but unlike a bomb victim, those caught in it can return to life if they want... it's just that wanting to isn't easy.

Births became decreasingly common and the land slowly became more and more barren as a result of there not being a Master of Death to maintain the flow of souls, and another world/god, Drazil, stealing the souls of the dead for his walking graveyard, and by the time the events of the game comes around the land is little more than a dustbowl inhabited by one of the last generations of sentient life. Gig (Vigilance Reforged into a Minion by Drazil), of course, greatly hastened this process by killing off most of the population and burning most of the land to a crisp, before he was stopped by Median's daughter, Layna, and sealed off within a black sword.

The male protagonists survived because they already were underground during their Human Popsicle experiment. The bomb effects turn out later to be rather blown up, if you forgive the pun, by history revisionism.

Depopulation Bomb / int_5e150650	comment	Exalted: Creation was almost reduced to formless chaos as a result of The Great Contagion, followed by the Balorian Crusade. The Dragon Kings are an even more drastic example. Due to their perfect reincarnation (meaning that every Dragon King regains perfect memories of their previous incarnations after a few decades, tied to their basic mental development), their population was fixed at 150 million. During the Primordial War, enormous numbers were destroyed right down to the soul, reducing them to 30 million. The Wyld incursions caused by the Balorian Crusade whittled this down to a mere 4 million. This means that not only is repopulation impossible, but that many Dragon Kings wind up not reclaiming past life memories (since these will inevitably include vast numbers of people who simply aren't around anymore to a psychology which was never really designed to handle bereavement).

Many of the Joined are killed, with the average citizen completely unaffected. In one of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers stories, the Miradorn homeworld almost falls victim to a depopulation bomb that was accidentally triggered from the planet's moon. It would have killed 98% of the population (all those Miradorn with psychic links to identical twins) but was halted in time to prevent a significant reduction in numbers. Another novel, The Last Stand, has a long-standing conflict between the Krann and the Lethanta. Long ago, the Lethanta developed space travel and discovered the Krann on another planet in the same system. They subjugated them. Eventually, the Krann rose up and fought back. But a virus began wiping out the Krann. Assuming it was an attack by the Lethanta, the Krann bombed their homeworld, making it uninhabitable. The surviving Lethanta fled in sublight ships constructed out of asteroids. The surviving Krann, with their planet also no longer habitable due to the virus, built a fleet and gave chase. Near the end of the novel, as the Lethanta-Krann war is coming to a head, Dr. Crusher discovers that the virus was natural, not engineered. Thus, the Krann have no reason to try to wipe out the Lethanta. However, the temporary peace is fragile, and one of the Krann leaders points out that the long feud isn't going to end just because a doctor saw something in a microscope.

The only problem for them is that they can't agree on how. The ruling elders want to use a string of EMPs to destroy all modern technology and corral all remaining humans. A progressive movement of younger members, however, want to use a Synthetic Plague to merely kill enough to lower numbers, while they then come in with the antidote, letting them be welcomed as saviors and handed open control on a silver platter.

Depopulation Bomb / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: The episode "Past and Present" implies that one of these, similar to the Star Trek TOS "Miri" example below, was set off. The team encounters a planet with no children or elderly suffering from amnesia after an incident known as "the Vorlix". Inverted when it turns out that the planet had been using a pesticide which caused sterility (hence the lack of children), and "the Vorlik" was a deliberate test set off by a villain from a previous episode after she learned that this same pesticide had properties which could stop or reverse aging. The test reversed the aging of the entire planet, turning the entirely elderly population into middle-aged adults, but inadvertently causing amnesia in the process. Two episodes ("2010" in season 4, and "2001" in season 5) are about the Aschen, an alien race who conquer worlds by supposedly being nice and friendly and handing out life extending drugs... that sterilize most of the population, letting the Aschen move in and take over after nearly everyone on the target planet has died out. It helps that the Aschen are extremely patient, willing to wait a few centuries to take over a planet, which becomes yet another farming world for them. The Aschen can also do this in a more active way — they possess a bioweapon that can be keyed to a particular genome, which kills off most of the species. In the backstory of "2010", they used it on the Goa'uld, and in "2001", they try to use it on Earth when SG-1 figures out their modus operandi. Fortunately, the SGC closes the iris in time.

They do this in order to starve out the Flood, by killing both their potential hosts and any Flood form more advanced than a basic Infection Form. Before they fired the Halos, the Forerunners made sure to evacuate as many species as they could to an extragalactic safe spot; afterwards, they were resettled on their homeworlds, with each species forced to start off as hunter-gatherers again. Each individual Halo does have a limited range though, which is why there's seven of them. It should be noted that this was very much a last-ditch plan; the Forerunners first tried both a conventional war and researching an actual cure, and neither of those worked.

In Mass Effect 2, it's revealed that the krogan began to adapt to the genophage, prompting the salarians to update it to maintain a stable birthrate.

Enough of them can quickly depopulate a world with no ill effect to the environment. Another version of the plague makes the target population more willing to join your empire. However, millions still die. Also, in the Liir backstory, they are conquered by a vicious race known to them only as the Suul'ka. When they finally rebel, the Liir use their advanced knowledge of biology to genetically engineer a "bioweapon" designed to kill only the Suul'ka. The bioweapon actually wipes out all Suul'ka in the sector and, as it was previously thought, all Suul'ka everywhere. The sequel reveals that the Suul'ka are Not Quite Dead, also stating that the bioweapon is known as "The Black" and is currently the leader of their military, the Black Swimmers. The Suul'ka are actually, very old, very large, and very insane Liir Elders, the Black is an artificial Suul'ka who is loyal to the younger Liir and was once the Voice of Muur (the ruler of a Liir planet is known as the Voice, and Muur is their homeworld) that led his people to rebel against the Suul'Ka in the first place.

Depopulation Bomb / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: The krogan were hit by a Depopulation Bomb referred to as the "Genophage", designed by the salarians during the Krogan Rebellions. The krogan evolved on Tuchanka, an extremely lethal planet where only massive fertility and hardy physiology made it possible for them to survive, and once they moved off Tuchanka, their numbers, lifespan, and birthrates were so explosive that in order to satisfy the need for more territory to support their growing numbers, they began aggressively moving in on worlds already colonized by other sapient species. The genophage reduced krogan birthrates to less than one successful live birth per thousand pregnancies. Interestingly, the salarians do not view the genophage as a Depopulation Bomb, but rather as a device to control the krogan birthrate to keep them from overpopulating the galaxy. As Mordin so blunty points out, if the salarians wanted to wipe out the krogan, it would have been a hell of a lot easier just to slap them with a permanent sterility version of the genophage instead of the carefully tailored one that allows for "pre-industrial growth levels" which would enable the krogan to give birth to enough young to keep up a steady population. In Mass Effect 2, it's revealed that the krogan began to adapt to the genophage, prompting the salarians to update it to maintain a stable birthrate. Unfortunately, coming from a Death World where only the strongest and meanest survive means that the krogan are all genetically and culturally inclined towards hyper-aggression, and rather than adapt to their decreased birthrate they kept on killing each other as much as ever, without the super-fertility to compensate. Wrex points out this, and the tendencies of the krogan to scatter and work as thugs for hire rather than pull together to preserve their own culture, as contributing more to the decline of the krogan than the genophage itself. Demonstrating himself as one of the few really progressive krogan, Wrex argued in favor of focusing on breeding and rebuilding but gave up the fight in disgust and disillusionment when his own father tried to kill him over their differing views. In Mass Effect 2, he's revealed to have taken over clan leadership on Tuchanka and is busily dragging the rest of his species kicking and screaming into a more sustainable way of life. Curing the genophage is a critical plot point in Mass Effect 3. Not only does Wrex or Wreav (depending on who survived) want it to recover their population, it is also the only thing that will get a disunified and fractured krogan society together enough to focus on the Reaper threat. And once they're united, the krogan bring together the most powerful ground force in the entire galaxy. The genophage returns in Mass Effect: Andromeda, since the krogan that launched for Andromeda left before the cure may or may not have been administered in 3. Apparently, Clan Nakmor had a mutation that is (very slowly) rendering the genophage ineffective, and they've applied some kind of gene therapy during the 600-year stasis sleep to Andromeda to enhance it. As a result, their birth rates have greatly multiplied (they now have a viability ratio of 1/25). If the trend continues, the Andromeda krogan could be cured of the genophage within a few thousand years.

In the Spellbinder world (the setting of much of season 1), it's heavily implied that no one outside Australia survived the ancient cataclysm caused by Spellbinders attempting to increase their power. The surviving population has reverted back to a Medieval Stasis, with the elite Spellbinders being a Cargo Cult that suppresses all scientific advancement and is barely able to maintain the old tech they're passing off as sorcery. Another world went through a Robot War with a few survivors eking out an existence on the ruins of civilization and fearing all forms of "tech". A third world was struck by a worldwide pandemic in Victorian times, wiping out a large part of the population. A cure was found and had the unexpected side effect of turning everyone into The Ageless but also made everyone sterile. As a result, all progress stopped, and the survivors amuse themselves by building childlike automatons in lieu of actual children.

When Mikami killed himself and Light's name was written down by Ryuk, and all the Kiras (and most of the Kira Cult devotees) were gone, and the world was going (more-or-less) back to normal save for a few small remnants of the Kira Cult, it's likely that many countries were facing this issue.

Miri herself shows the first sign of the disease later in the episode (if the fact that she caught the Kirk bug doesn't tip you off she was going into puberty). "The Mark of Gideon" has Kirk kidnapped by a vastly overpopulated planet who want to use germs in his blood to drop a Depopulation Bomb on themselves. This scheme involves a large amount of Fridge Logic, when one wonders where they found the space to construct a full-scale replica of the interior of the Enterprise.

Depopulation Bomb / int_9a8bf274	comment	Command & Conquer: In Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Tiberium itself is intended as both this and a device for terraforming by the Scrin. Ironically, they don't care about either effect. They only seed planets with Tiberium for one-time future harvesting (once all planetary mass is converted Tiberium, it won't grow anymore) They only attack humans because they're still alive; normally, Tiberium kills off all non-Tiberium-based life before the detonation of a significant mass of liquid Tiberium, which signals them to arrive. Once they do arrive, they judge that humanity needs to be exterminated anyway, as they're apparently criminally insane — GDI and Nod are still fighting each other during a freaking alien invasion, after all. The Scrin, who themselves are so uncaring about other species as to destroy entire planets for harvesting, call humans "Warlike in the extreme". Command & Conquer: Generals also has the GLA with a variety of bio-chemical weapons and their airburst bomb is in fact a depopulation bomb (it unleashes one of three varieties of a modified Anthrax virus, depending on your upgrades). China gains neutron weapons in ZH which only kill infantry even in vehicles.

Depopulation Bomb / int_9c33b8ab	comment	Sliders: In one episode, the eponymous characters slide into a world where a Middle Eastern country detonated a bioweapon that specifically targets the Y-chromosome, killing most of the men in the world. This gave rise to a new Cold War, this time between US and Australia, the two countries least touched by the virus. Instead of nukes, each tries to "out-breed" the other. The surviving men are rounded up and placed in breeding centers, where they are forced to impregnate multiple women each day. Also, only the most "fit" women are allowed to take part in the breeding program. Professor Arturo explicitly complains about the failure to discover artificial insemination on that world, noting that he could have revolutionized things for them if they actually treated him as more than an animal only good for breeding and actually listened to him. It's also revealed that the humans of Kromagg Prime used a weapon on their Kromagg enemies that kills any Kromagg female attempting to give birth. The goal is to eventually drive the Kromaggs to extinction, as this prevents positive population growth. The Kromaggs are trying to compensate by interbreeding with humans.

At first, it killed its victims quickly, but it rapidly mutated and the infected started taking longer to die. Not only that, but the Flare also robbed them of their humanity and turned them into animalistic beings known as Cranks. However, a small percentage of the world's population is immune to the virus; WICKED was set up to study such people in the hope that finding out the reason for their immunity might lead to a cure.

The remaining humans then tried to spread a counter-virus to kill off the birds which were spreading the disease, but the virus instead changed the birds into hyperintelligent mutants. Humans and birds waged war for thirty years, eventually resulting in birds becoming the dominant species. By 2188, the human population is less than 140 million, living in the wilderness and not allowed to self-govern. Depending on what ending you get, this can become full-on human extinction.

Depopulation Bomb / int_bcb32dc6	comment	The VITAS (Virally Induced Toxic Allergy Syndrome) pandemic serves as this in Shadowrun. The disease, first appearing in India in 2010, proceeded to spread globally and wipe out approximately a quarter of the world's population over the next few years, most of them in Africa, followed by a second wave in 2022 that killed another 900 million. Proportionally, Madagascar was among the worst hit, losing over 70% of its population. VITAS not only caused several governments to collapse, but also set the stage for the setting's bizarre set-up; though highly contagious, the disease was far more lethal to humans than metahumans, and more easily cured through magical means than mundane treatments. This is why there is such a significant number of metahumans, magic is so widespread and respected, and the world is run by the megacorporations (who used their stockpiles to save their own executives and employees first). It also made the Native American Nations a superpower; as millions of Amerindians were confined to isolated "internment" camps during the initial outbreaks, their populations were spared, and their magical talents made future outbreaks a chore instead of a threat.

After the Great Offscreen War, God Is Dead, and with him any new Angels, and those that are left are far too devout to ever fall, leaving both those factions considering each individual more precious than ever. Meanwhile, Devils experienced such a severe depopulation that extinction was an inevitability and created the Evil Piece system in response in order to stabilize their population with reincarnated humans. Later in the series, Angels and Fallen Angels have both borrowed the reincarnation techniques in their own ways, just in time for the vital element of it to get stolen.

One of these, the Neutron Sweep, annihilates the target world's entire population with a single shot from orbit, leaving its infrastructure intact (albeit damaged and in need of eventual repair project) for your colonists to take over. Needless to say, any deployment of a Colossus is considered a huge war crime by almost anyone in the galaxy even against Always Chaotic Evil empires, so don't expect your reputation to come out of it unscathed. Finishing the Irassian Concordate quest chain unlocks the deadly plague that wiped them out as a unique orbital bombardment stance. It deals low damage to infrastructure but very high damage to armies and pops on the target planet, to the point that an entire world can be depopulated in only a few months of bombardment. Unlike the much more effective Colossus deployment mentioned above, this option trades time and effort for no one in the galactic community giving a shit (except for the empire currently getting virus-bombed into oblivion, naturally).

The result is a Zombie Apocalypse that wipes out almost all of humanity, the survivors being converted into Gestalts (what you know of as Shades). The "humans" we see in the game are actually Replicants, Empty Shells meant only as bodies for humanity's restoration, but due to them developing sentience, their respective Gestalts are degenerating into mindless monsters, while the Replicants suffer from a degenerative and always lethal disease known as the Black Scrawl. Thanks to the effort of Nier, that plan's not going anywhere and humanity will be extinct within a generation, as he killed his own Gestalt, the Shadowlord and doomed all remaining Gestalts to lose their minds and die, and all the Replicants (except for Kainé, who is made fully human by Nier and Tyrann's sacrifice) to die to the Black Scrawl.

Depopulation Bomb / int_eec3eb25	comment	In Line of Delirium, the protagonist recalls how, during the Vague War, the Meklar try to wipe out the human race with a virus specifically tailored to destroy spinach. This is because some joker successfully feeds them false information about human dietary needs, claiming that spinach is vital to humans. They spend countless resources creating the virus and then lose many ships trying to seed human worlds with it. After they eventually realize that humans aren't dropping like flies, the shock is so great that they immediately sue for peace. They could've just as easily tailored the virus to kill humans. Of course, from then on, spinach can only be grown in self-contained greenhouses.

Depopulation Bomb / int_f53022c6	comment	The Chi Bomb, or C-Bomb from Feng Shui 2, which was created by the Jammers in order to wipe out every Feng Shui site in existence so that humanity and other species could live free of the "tyranny" of chi, instead wiped out every Feng Shui site in the Future juncture — along with ninety-seven percent of the world's population in that juncture, as well as everyone else who was attuned to a feng shui site controlled by the Architects of the Flesh, who were all reduced to cellular powder. The bomb also had the effect of messing with the chi of many of the survivors, turning them into mutants.

Depopulation Bomb / int_fdd8bf3	comment	In Plague Year Series, an artificial nanotech virus is released. It kills any warm-blooded animal with a few hours' exposure. Its only limitation is that it was designed to shut off at low air pressure - it will not operate at altitudes above 10,000 feet. The only survivors are the people who lived on or managed to flee in time to high mountain peaks, most of which are isolated from each other by lower altitude plague zones. There are two sequels, Plague War and Plague Zone.
