Saiga Psychogenetics Research Laboratories
Saiga Psychogenetics Research Laboratories (short form: Saiga Psychogenetics; SP) is an independent Yamataian research corporation founded by Dr. Saiga Sakiko in early YE 30. Saiga Psychogenetics is headquartered on Yamatai with satellite offices on Tatiana and Hoshi no Iori. The company is willing to invest in the building of other installations at other markets throughout the Empire and beyond, permitting that regional authorities provide fair and relatively open research and business regulations.

Origins
SP was founded by Dr. Saiga Sakiko, a genetic psychologist and former PNUgen employee who was involved with the creation of the Ningyô Heiki series, helping to perfect a stable synthetic psyche for what would become the Nekovalkyrja. For years, Sakiko criticized her work with PNUgen as having produced “far too independent” a life form. In YE 30, she used the assets at her disposal as the daimyo of the Saiga family to provide the principle investment with which to start the Saiga Psychogenetics Research Laboratories. The first research installations were built on Yamatai, Tatiana, and Hoshi no Iori.

Psychogenetics
Research at SP Labs is concerned primarily with furthering the ability to genetically program natural and synthetic individual’s psychological traits. Chiefly among the applications of these behavioral genetics, one of SP Labs’ main goals is to create a synthetic psyche which is perfectly loyal while still being as free-thinking as possible. Although behavioral genetics and the civilian and military applications of which are at the forefront of SP’s projects, the corporation also has applied funds to the research of other genetic and, to a lesser extent, technological advancements.

While it doesn't sound too bad, I do have a couple of concerns.

1) Wikify it, before one of the admins yells at you to do so.
2) What's 'genetic psychology'?
3) This is something that the approval staff would be better at determining, but your character's history seems a bit suspect. I suppose it depends on your experience, though.
4) Could you tell me what kind of products you intend to produce? It sounds interesting, to be honest - we don't have many companies working in this field, it's usually the purview of the government.
 
I hope that I will be able to answer your questions in a satisfactory manner.

I haven't made any submissions before this. Am I supposed to before it's approved?

A definition of "behavioral genetics" is: "an interdisciplinary field studying the effects of genetics and hereditary factors on animal and human behavior."

That's why it's up for submission, as part of the submission.

I haven't thought of anything in too much detail yet, but some ideas that have been floating around in my head include military-grade agents that could temporarily or permanently change an individual's behavior, a new synthetic life form, maybe little bits of equipment or weaponry. While the company is focused on genetics-related products, like many real-world companies, it would have the capability and possible desire to produce items not found in its main line of products.

However, produces likely will not be mass produced. Research will according to what the company's leadership desires as well as what outside parties pay the company to develop and produce for them.
 
Pretty cool! I am most down with this. It could bring some pretty cool new stuff to the setting. And Raz is solid, remember.
 
Approved for IC usage.
