JPG-973 SYSTEM

Discovered in 2061 in a cooperative effort between industrialist William Tark and the Weyland Corp, the third planet here is home to numerous colonies of simple xeno-bacteria. A permanent research facility was established here called Tark-Weyland Station. The station’s microbiological and biochemical engineers have put together a think tank to combat new forms of cancer that do not respond to established treatments.
Recently, Tark-Weyland’s Molecular Science Group assigned a think tank to work on developing an antigen that would slow the advance of the black pathogen deployed in the Border Bombers’ attacks. Unfortunately, the project’s lead scientists—Professor Hugo Cléas and Doctor Hide Tajima—went missing while attempting to obtain samples of the pathogen. Their current status is unknown.
