The moon was humanity's genetic base. Long before the God-Emperor unified Terra, it had been occupied by gene warlords.
After the God-Emperor unified Terra and took the moon, he expanded its genetic laboratories. A large portion of the Astartes had been produced on the moon.
Even now, the number of genetic laboratories on the moon had only increased. Many laboratories were responsible for studying and decoding alien samples acquired by Imperial fleets beyond its borders, then tailoring corresponding genetic weapons.
Take the Tyranids, for example. Humanity's genetic laboratories were devoted to using biological means to combat and contain the Tyranids.
But the Tyranids evolved far too quickly. The first generation of genetic weapons might work, but after killing some Tyranids, the second generation would evolve antibodies.
Humanity would then have to develop second-generation viruses, only for those viruses to become useless again before long.
In short, humanity had turned viral warfare into conventional warfare. The genetic laboratories on
