Here to discuss any form of corporate/political enterprises and polities/states you wish to include!
The Galaxy advancement organisation:

A mostly illegal experiment corporation posing as an official one. Existing on the other edges of human explored space, the GAC official statement is that they are working on a bioengineering program capable of changing humanity or any other species to make the immune system better and create races which are immune to many different viruses and conditions.

In reality, this is not their main focus, while they still do work on this surgery and perform their current treatments on anyone willing to fork over enough money to pay for it. Behind the scenes, they are working on two separate projects:

The god organism experiment:

The God organism is designed to create using mechanical and biological enhancements the perfect set of supersoldiers, housed in a base burrowed into a moon, the facility is full of mutated failures housed in many containment facilities and constantly underground vivisection.

People who are taken for this experiment are partially kidnapped from neighbouring worlds, but mostly they have a section for people born and bred there. Of course, this facility is not known or advertised outside of the company and its location is based outside of colonised space (for the Confederacy and New Hispania) located nearest wild space.

The Devil organism experiment:

This is focused mainly on the zombie ant and is attempting to create an organism which could recreate those spores on a human scale, this is a far newer experiment and is still being hidden inside of Confederacy space, little progress has been made, however, they are continuing to work extremely hard on making the perfect organism for such a thing.

Founder: Marcos Stone - outwardly an eccentric but harmless man born with a lot of money and spending it on a project to better the Confederacy. Born and raised in New Hispania he now regularly travels around colonised space and gives away parts of his fortunes to those less well off and projects he feels deserve more funding.

Secretly, however, he despises the Confederacy and wishes to see New Hispania rise to dominance. The secret projects are all in aid of that ultimate goal.

Head of the God Organism experiment and Head of Devil Organism are still being fleshed out

Funny you should mention this, since I'm currently creating a character that was experimented on to become a sort of 'cosmic horror' to mortal men. I am thinking of including more of these characters later on, should the need arise.

Perhaps they could be the occasional escapees from the God Organism experiment?

Yeah! Although it'd be kinda hard for him to adapt to modern society and make a living. There's also the fact that he would've lived for more than a hundred years due to the experimentation.
That could be solved by the actual project starting far earlier, but being co-opted by Marcos Stone's own organisation, maybe even forcefully, which is when some of the experiments escape.
Just butting in quickly to mention that my Riagan could potentially have ties, willingly or not, to the Association. Though my personal vision of him would probably be less likely to put him in the god organism project and more in the devil organism project.

I'm not saying he is, its not my choice, but it'd be a nice way for me to settle him into the world a bit more if its cool.

He could be a henchman just as surely as an experiment.

Another side note, I'd be glad to sketch some of the more prominent characters/concepts for this world once my carpal tunnel syndrome goes away. x_x

I'll let you two work out on that. Honestly though, you're free to create your own corporations for him to be affiliated to.
Yeah, its not too important either way as this is worldbuilding and my character's a grain of sand compared to most of these ideas, I'm just tickled by the possibility.

Honestly the fact that you like the idea of him being affiliated as part of the Devil Organism experiment really makes me happy, if you like I hadn't yet got an idea for the leader on that project which is a role he could fill.
I could see him taking that role; his sandbox occupation doesn't exactly involve research but he's not stupid either. He is a bit of a secret fan of biology, so being able to study microbiology in such a sadistic way would probs be right up his alley. Or if it doesn't fit so smoothly, he could always be some sort of overseer, rather than the leader himself.
Someone like that would be exactly someone Marcos would hire to oversee his projects as, if they are happy enough with just being able to work on a project like that, they are less likely to attempt to betray him.
Simple thinking but solid. xD
I think that adds quite nicely then to Galactic advancement organisation.
