Gene Clinic

Gene Clinics are specialized medical facilities dedicated to research and development in the fields of vaccine production and gene therapy. They are found across the globe, playing a vital role in healthcare advancements within the Caseyverse.

Their presence was first revealed in the short story Synthetic Fur, where construction of a clinic in Bridgeport was uncovered. This particular facility later became instrumental in combating a devastating pandemic during the events of NOVAR Rising.

In the aftermath of the crisis, Gene Clinics worldwide expanded their capabilities to include genetic tailoring and augmentation facilities. This shift significantly altered societal trajectories, ushering in a new era characterized by advancements in genetic engineering and its implications for humanity.

While inspired by similar institutions found in the video game Stellaris, Gene Clinics within the Caseyverse are adapted for smaller-scale narratives. Despite their reduced scope, they wield significant influence, shaping the course of events and contributing to a post-crisis timeline marked by both progress and unforeseen consequences.
