Nueva Pharmaceuticals

Nueva Pharmaceuticals (stock symbol NUEP) is a proprietary company of AstroLabs specializing in the development of medicine and biotechnology. Though responsible for a number of revolutionary and highly profitable new developments in the medical field, their work is highly professional level and has very little public visibility. Those in power would have it no other way.

Staff
Nueva Pharmaceuticals is presided by Dr. Patricia Weyer, an accomplished biotechnologist in addition to her status as company president. Their biocomputing research staff also included Dr. Malika Aarya before her dismissal for performing unauthorized research projects on premises.

Dealings
Most recently, Nueva has lost their corporate espionage/misappropriation lawsuit against Dr. Aarya, cited reasons including a deficit of evidence. This is of much less potential relief than it might seem. They remain active in their efforts to kidnap the doctor. It is not exactly clear at what level the company's willingness to dabble in black operations begins or ends, but for such a prize, they have demonstrated themselves both willing and able to employ trained kidnappers, spies, and even assassins with perfect plausible deniability. What other unsavory dealings they may be involved in, and the identities of those responsible, remain an exercise of the sick imagination.
