A transnational specializing in genetic engineering, Biotech Euphrates was founded by a Turkish millionaire, and was one of the first 'offshore' genetic engineering laboratories, at one time operating out of a converted Iraqi oil tanker under the Panama flag. From such humble beginnings, it became a major provider of pharm animals to the Third World and later to Mars. It was the first company to commercialize human germline eugeneering, with its pioneering Alpha upgrade.

Biotech Euphrates remains at the cutting edge of HuGE. It's also the world's second-largest provider of GMO crops and animals, and a leading manufacturer of vat-grown fauxflesh, wood, and paper. It is moving into living products, such as living rugs, bathmats, and biobuildings. Its living furniture line is popular, and its current showpiece project is Luna City, the 'city that lives'.

Biotech Euphrates' main offices and research labs are located in various space stations on Luna, in Earth orbit, and at L4, with factories system-wide.
