CoPharma

Background
CoPharma, GmbH is the largest and most powerful pharmaceuticals corporation in the RSC. They control a massive portion of the drugs, cures, and treatments available to citizens of the RSC, and are the proprietary owners of Body Modification technology. They have been accused by the public several times for monopolization, however this has not hindered their growth to any noticeable effect.

Formation
CoPharma was founded in 2112 following a merger between two major pharmaceutical companies at the time. This merger meant that the new CoPharma had hands in nearly every sector of their trade, and was a catalyst for their quick growth in revenue and size. However, this growth was nothing compared to the events in 2214, when CoPharma purchased a private Swedish company by the name of FSol, LLC. FSol, which specialized in artificial food sources, had at the time created a technology that would allow for the quick and efficient synthesis of animal meats. This product was intended to solve an active food crisis, as it could create near-identical copies of meats within minutes at a very low cost. Seeing the potential in this product, CoPharma purchased FSol and its intellectual property, and worked to make this technology applicable to human cells. After over a decade of work, Body Modifications became available to consumers in March of 2229. This technology quickly took off, and eventually integrated itself into common society by the 2240's.
