Our divisions

Three divisions, one supply line from the laboratory to the colony: the network that delivers, the laboratories that anticipate, and the service that protects.

Pharmaceutical Trade

Medicine wherever humanity operates.

Umbrella’s distribution network delivers medical supplies wherever humanity operates, from core‑world hospitals to independent mining stations months from the nearest port.

  • A dedicated fleet of climate‑controlled haulers maintains an unbroken cold chain across contested and unregulated space.
  • Product lines include trauma stabilizers, radiation countermeasures, long‑duration hibernation compounds, and rapid tissue‑regeneration therapies.
  • Frontier settlements receive priority supply at reduced cost, under the belief that no colony should fail for lack of medicine.

How the cold chain moves

Research & Development

Safety research at the frontier.

Umbrella’s laboratories study the biology of new worlds before it can harm the people settling them. Facilities are deliberately located in remote systems, isolating sensitive work from population centers and allowing direct access to the environments under study.

Xenobiological safety
Identifying and neutralizing alien microorganisms before colonists are exposed.
Regenerative medicine
Therapies that repair vacuum, radiation, and high‑G injuries in a fraction of conventional recovery time.
Human adaptation
Long‑term work toward enabling people to live and work safely in environments once considered uninhabitable.

All facilities operate under strict containment protocols overseen by automated monitoring systems. Umbrella regards biological security as a duty owed to every system in which it operates.

Umbrella Security Service

Defensive by mandate.

Medical supplies are among the most valuable cargo in space, and research materials among the most sensitive. The Umbrella Security Service (U.S.S.) protects both.

U.S.S. personnel are held to high standards of discipline and discretion. Their mandate is defensive: to ensure that what Umbrella builds, ships, and studies reaches its destination intact and never falls into the wrong hands.

Escort Wing

Fighter and gunship crews safeguarding convoys through pirate‑active and lawless regions.

Facility Security

Permanent garrisons at research and manufacturing sites.

U.B.C.S.

The Biohazard Countermeasure Service: specialist teams trained to respond to contamination events, secure affected sites, and protect nearby populations.
