The video details the in-universe history of Biotic Corp, a pioneering medical technology company in Star Citizen known for innovations like surgical assist robots and the Vitalist Pro Medscan, which have improved emergency medical care and patient outcomes. It also highlights Biotic Corp’s current development of Project Colliopy, a revolutionary full-body diagnostic and surgical system enabling extensive character customization through safe and efficient physical alterations.
The video explores the in-lore background of Biotic Corp, a leading medical technology company in the Star Citizen universe. Originating from the Deacon Lab at the Scala School of Medicine in Rita, Biotic Corp was founded by Ted Santos and Dio Nicholas, two doctoral students whose research intersected during a lockdown. Their groundbreaking work linked genetic gravitational compression from quantum travel to increased fatalities during emergency surgeries, leading to improved search and rescue protocols and the establishment of Biotic Corp as a private research center.
Biotic Corp’s first major commercial success was a software suite for surgical assist robots that compensated for the effects of quantum travel, significantly reducing patient deaths during transport. The company expanded into manufacturing with the Autodoc line of surgical robots, known for their reliability under challenging conditions. These robots gained prominence following an assassination attempt on the Governor’s Council in Newcastle, where they played a critical role in stabilizing injured officials aboard a Cutlass Red medical ship, earning public and political recognition.
Continuing its innovation, Biotic Corp developed the Vitalist Pro Medscan, an advanced, portable medical scanner praised for its rapid patient analysis and extensive features. While the scanner’s portability raised privacy concerns, leading to legislative debates, its adoption continued to grow due to its medical benefits. However, not all Biotic Corp projects succeeded; the Pure Life anti-contamination chamber was recalled after it inadvertently caused illness by removing beneficial microbes, though the company’s prompt response maintained public trust.
Currently, Biotic Corp is pioneering Project Colliopy, a full-body diagnostic and surgical system designed to enable extensive physical alterations safely and efficiently. Led by chief medical engineer Livia Haskell, inspired by her personal recovery from burns, Colliopy allows for major reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries that previously required multiple operations. After successful military trials, the technology is now entering civilian use, potentially revolutionizing personal appearance and medical treatment in the Star Citizen universe.
The video concludes with a brief promotional segment encouraging viewers to support the channel and participate in a monthly ship giveaway, highlighting the community engagement around Star Citizen content. Overall, Biotic Corp’s story illustrates the fusion of advanced medical technology and lore within the game, explaining the in-universe rationale for character customization and medical innovation.
