(Capcom's primary storyline)
Shén Yà Pharmaceutical is a Chinese pharmaceutical company. It was a competitor of Umbrella. It was involved in the 2014 Sonido de Tortuga Island Incident.
History[]
Umbrella's Legacy[]
Due to Umbrella's downfall as the leading B.O.W. manufacturer in the world, many pharmaceutical companies fought to gain power in the black market.
In order to obtain samples and research from Umbrella's hidden facilities, Shén Yà, as well as several other pharmaceuticals, formed a paramilitary unit to infiltrate these facilities.[1]
Sonido de Tortuga Incident[]
In 2014, Shén Yà managed to infiltrate Sonido de Tortuga Island via an agent called "Zǐlì", supported by their paramilitary unit, with the intent of stealing Umbrella's legacy on the island. When Zǐlì was heavily wounded, she desperately injected herself with the virus synthesized from Morio, the last remaining specimen of the legacy project. She then mutated into a spider-like giant creature and proceeds to slaughter her whole squad. Zǐlì was eventually destroyed by Takeru Tominaga, all her remains taken care of by the BSAA.[2]
Further notes[]
- The name of the company is written as "Sheng-Ya" in Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps. This may be a localization error.
- The company's paramilitary unit uses the exact same outfit and equipment than 3A7 from Red Umbrella, suggesting a correlation between the companies.[1] Furthermore, heavenly island's fourth volume uses 3A7's artwork from Umbrella Corps as a cover.
