A simplified mix of Esperanto and Modern Latin, and the only recognized official language of the Sol Federation. This peculiar constructed language became popular during SolFed's earliest days, and was almost entirely overtaken by other popular tongues - it became widespread through heavy-handed political maneuvering with the help of corporate bureaucrats and other undesirables. Nowadays, it's a near-universal tongue and a must-know for any sentient being that plans to leap forward into space. Contributors: Template:Contributor/WatchesTheStars

Many well-known clinics and treatment facilities on the frontier are supplied by Interdyne Pharmaceuticals; a Sovereign Corporation specializing in advanced medicine, biotech, and synthetic drug development. While widely respected for breakthroughs like Sansufentanyl, critics question their ethics and blame them for conditions they now profit from treating. Interdyne maintains ties with nearly every major power in the sector, including Nanotrasen, SolFed, and even Syndicate-linked interests.

Interdyne Pharmaceuticals

Interdyne Pharmaceuticals is a Sovereign medical conglomerate with holdings that stretch from Core Sector capitals to the most remote edge-world colonies. In the Core, their name is stamped on hospitals, research towers, and entire pharmaceutical districts; on the frontier, it's printed on emergency kits, cryo-sleep injectors, and the last dose of stabilizer keeping a colonist alive.

Their reputation is built not on ideology or allegiance, but clinical ubiquity. Interdyne doesn’t plant flags or claim sectors; it offers licensing, supplies, and medical infrastructure, with the same practiced detachment whether the client flies SolFed banners or Syndicate colors. So long as they can pay, Interdyne delivers.

Their flagship drug, Sansufentanyl, is widely credited with slowing- though not curing- the spread of Hereditary Manifold Sickness, a condition particularly common among early colonization bloodlines. The fact that Interdyne developed the treatment, holds exclusive production rights, and may have played a role in the disease’s emergence is a conspiracy whispered more often than spoken aloud, and one the company shows no interest in acknowledging.

Where other Sovereign Corporations pursue expansion through territory, firepower, or anomaly exploitation, Interdyne’s dominance comes through treatment dependencies, embedded systems, and regulated exclusivity. Whether in a clean Core clinic or a half-frozen frontier triage pod, Interdyne is there- not to lead, not to govern, but to ensure no one else holds the prescription pad.

History

Interdyne Pharmaceuticals emerged sometime after the creation of faster-than-light travel on Terra, during the first serious wave of interstellar colonization. It was not born from idealism, nor from any humanitarian push to heal the expanding population, but from a sharp-eyed interest in the growing medical demands of deep-space life, and how best to profit from them.

Unlike other early corporations that sought prestige through terraforming or exploration, Interdyne carved its place through research, specifically into the then-mysterious rise of Hereditary Manifold Sickness (HMS). While other institutions scrambled to understand the sickness or dismissed it as colonial myth, Interdyne moved fast, establishing specialized labs and funneling resources into human genetic profiling. The result was Sansufentanyl, the first viable long-term treatment for HMS symptoms, and a drug that would define their legacy.

The speed of this breakthrough raised eyebrows. The drug was unnervingly well-matched to the sickness. Critics argued that Interdyne may have known more than they let on- or worse, played a role in the disease's emergence. But as Interdyne’s profits surged and their laboratories became the gold standard for bio-clinical precision, those critics either faded from public view or stopped speaking entirely. As a Sovereign Corporation, Interdyne faced no formal investigations and issued no apologies.

With Sansufentanyl under exclusive license, Interdyne grew fast, "too fast", some said, mirroring the explosive trajectory of Nanotrasen. They outpaced rival biotech firms, absorbed competitors, and embedded themselves in Core Sector hospitals before the public ever realized they had a monopoly. When their market dominance reached a threshold, Sovereign status followed, not through political leverage, but sheer economic gravity. It was no longer viable for governments or corporate interests to not do business with Interdyne.

Yet as the company expanded, so too did its internal philosophy. The cold profiteering that defined its founding years began to refine itself into a doctrine of detachment. In the modern era, Interdyne does not present itself as a benevolent healer, nor a malevolent schemer. It simply offers medicine to those who need it, at scale, at cost, and without moral entanglement.

Today, Interdyne’s presence is split. In the Core, it is surgical in its presentation: clean clinics, towering hospitals, pristine autodocs, and boardrooms lined with white marble and reinforced glass. On the Frontier, it is no less precise- but markedly more somber. Facilities are often compact and utilitarian, focused on maximum efficiency over comfort. Outposts operate with reduced staff, limited amenities, and strict protocol adherence, prioritizing clinical output over personnel well-being. Field stations may be spartan, but they are clean, controlled, and meticulously maintained, reflecting a corporate ethos that sees luxury as waste when treating patients hundreds of lightyears from oversight. Interdyne doesn’t need to impress out there. It only needs to function, and it does, relentlessly.

To the average person, Interdyne is just another Sovereign logo stamped on the pill bottle or clinic wall. Its name is as common as running water- and just as unquestioned.
