Orion Genetics is a large corporation, spanning dozens of planets, with research and development teams and basic store fronts on hundreds more. It specializes in genetic manipulation, and genomics for the purpose of genetic engineering. They help in the terraforming of new planets to allow for colonization of previously unstable worlds, by creating plant and animal life able to thrive on these worlds, no matter how hostile, as well as by genetically changing colonists, so they can better survive the intense conditions.
The company also prides itself on the successful elimination of genetic disease on the worlds they inhabit, especially in children. To add to this, they research and create vaccines for thousands of viruses, various treatments for diseases of all sorts, new antibiotics, safer pesticides, gentler cosmetics, and so much more. Their research has saved millions of lives, and promises to save trillions more. Perfect matches to organs and limbs, as well as innovative microsurgery allows for limbs and organs to be replaced without cybernetics. Want to choose the genetics of your children? They allow that! Do you feel like your own genetics don’t represent YOU? Orion Genetics feels choice is inherent in the rights of all beings.
Yet, all Corporations have a darker side as well. They are known to help governments with super soldier projects, cloning, advanced chems, biological and chemical weapons and so much more. These things are fairly normal for a company. However, it is the rumors...the things that are barely visible at all that may be the most terrifying. For while the corporation's goal of bringing change and evolution to the galaxy is true….perhaps they do not mean it exactly the way others see it.
Yasin Reid was once a researcher for a small genetics firm. In time, he rose through the ranks, and became the owner's right hand man. At the death of the previous owner, through clever bargaining, and foresight, he managed to take over. Through a series of mergers, and lucky buy ups, Orion Genetics was formed. Through it all, Yasin remained the primary shareholder, CEO, and head of the board of directors. This ensured his vision would be all encompassing through every facet of the company.
