GenFun

Overview

GenFun, the self-styled contraction of General Fungal & Unicellular Novelties, PLC, is a multiplanetary biotechnology and toy manufacturing corporation with substantial influence in the GalCop structure and numerous planetary governments of significance, from their headquarters lin Ceesxe. They are widely known for their pan-galactic top-selling product, the Trumble™.

Under the temporary leadership of celebrity geneticist Dr. Rip Purefoy, the company had its most heightened period of public exposure. During the build-up to the launch of the first batch of Trumbles deemed fit for public contact, Dr. Purefoy's lab Vid-Band broadcasts had a massive viewership, considered a large factor in the product's eventual massive sales. While many considered the "Sculpting Life with Dr.Rip" to be genius children's VB, those privy to GenFun inside information reveal that there are reasons of greater importance than entertainment value to the "sculpting" angle, rooted in the legal loopholes that it provides.

Of primary importance to GenFun, the documented spawning of Trumbles from amoebic condition sealed their corporate ownership of the sentient animal that it would become, void of the protections and rights otherwise granted organisms under the GalCop charter. As the "bio-active carpet samples" that Trumbles essentially are, GenFun may bypass all regular quarantine regulations and laws of humanity. As they are not classified as pets but patented slime-mold sculptures, it grants the customer the guarantee never to be charged with "cruelty to animals" for jettisoning them near a sun, as you are simply "disposing of hazardous waste".
