Theme: Umbrella Corporation

The Umbrella Corporation is a worldwide conglomerate which operates ruthlessly as an international player in any number of global markets including pharmaceuticals, medical equipment as well as genetic research and biological weaponry.

To the public however, Umbrella is a seemingly benevolent entity providing miracle cosmetics, the best foods and consumer products such as electronics.

The corporation also operates its own paramilitary group known as the Umbrella Security Service. The U.S.S. is officially responsible for hostage rescue and anti-terrorism and deals generally with issues overseas in third world nations as well as providing security for top secret Umbrella facilities such as The Hive.

Unknown to anyone but the upper echelons of Umbrella is the existence of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S.). The U.B.C.S. was formed almost a decade ago to combat and contain any incidents involving Umbrella's research into biological warfare and genetic research. To date, all operations performed by the U.B.C.S. have been met with a One-Hundred Percent success rate and much of the training and tactics used by S.T.A.R.S were developed by them.
