Overview

Synth Foods, Incorporated is a privately-owned corporation conducting its operations throughout all of Sirius. Primarily tasked with the production of foodstuffs, they are also responsible for shiping their products throughout the many inhabited worlds.

Synth Foods, Incorporated is well known for their revolutionary BioDome™ technology. These facilities have been installed on hundreds of stations throughout the sector. Synth Foods’ paste and gel products, available in numerous flavors, are unparalleled in cost effectiveness, product quality, and costumer satisfaction.

Synth Foods, Incorporated is headquartered on Planet Manhattan, New York, however it has branched itself out since its foundation, no longer recognizing itself as a purely Libertonian Corporation. Synth Foods also recently bought Rivserside Station in the orbit of Mohave, California, from Liberty Police, Incorporated. In addition to that, this company also owns much of Planet Stuttgart and a portion of the Bounty Hunters Guild's Deshima Station in Shikoku.

Synth Foods, Incorporated proudly feeds the mouths of Sirius, and works with government welfare programs to nourish the less fortunate. Fifty percent of profits are donated to charities across the four houses. Synth is also in a partnership with Planetform, Incorporated to develop newer worlds for the people of Sirius.

History

Synth Foods, Incorporated began in 558 A.S. when several biotech scientists in California began to work on a solution to the growing problem of planetary agriculture. After several years, they finally unveiled a genetically engineered crop that only required 20% of the water any other crop on Los Angeles would need. The plant was not edible in its native form, however, so the scientists invented enzymes that could break the plant down to a digestible level, while also allowing for the possibility to flavor it in one of many ways. Synth Paste™, as it comes to be known, becomes one of the most popular foods in the Sirius sector, and to capitalize on these gains, NutraForm, Inc. was founded.

In 620 A.S., NutraForm, Inc. created their first orbital biodome, a structure built onto a station that was a self-contained food production facility. It became immensely popular with the growing frontier, and before long, most if not all stations had at least one NutraForm biodome on them.

Today, Synth Foods is a sprawling megacorporation, rivaling the reach of companies such as Interspace Commerce. It has a hold on the food market of Sirius to an astounding level, its only main competitor being Samura Heavy Industries in Kusari, known for their Kyushu Rice product.
