Halcyon Labs

Halcyon Labs (doing business as Halcyon Incorporated and sometimes just "Halcyon") was a company that specializes in the creation of pharmaceuticals, equipment and experimental weaponry.

History
Halcyon Labs was founded in early 1977 as Halcyon Liquor, and made it's headquarters as a saloon in the small town of Greenlake, Nevada. The company mainly sold a mixture of moonshine and whiskey called Halcy Juice which was beyond normal standards for liquor in the United States at the time. Ultimately it sold well, spreading to nearby Las Vegas and being hauled to stores as far as in the small city of Argonaut.

Halcyon later rebranded itself to Halcyon Chemistry in late 1981 when enough sales propelled it to purchase a laboratory in west Greenlake. Although it led to the discontinuation of Halcy Juice, it let Halcyon march onward to it's current status.

In 1985, the company introduced it's first drug, Halcin, which was intended to help with back pain and other forms of ache in the body. It was "revolutionary", albeit it didn't spread into the East Coast. Around late 1985 had Halcyon open it's second store in New York City, and in 1986 it opened three new stores in Argonaut, Los Angeles, and in it's hometown of Greenlake.

Halcyon contributed to Greenlake's economy as by 1987 the town had became an entire small city, expanding and creating new deals with neighboring towns. It had managed to seize an economic deal with the towns of Little Park, Whitewoods and Red City, forming the Greenpark-White City deal. This had all four cities boom in popularity, and by 1990 all four cities had effectively connected, all thanks to Halcyon.

The financial crash of 1997 hit Halcyon incredibly hard. In 1996 it had twenty five stores across the entire country, but in 1997 it was forced to sell seven of them to other companies to pay off it's due bills which had been racking up due to a lesser crash. It managed to run with just six stores by December, and managed to get back on track in 1998.

2002 had Halcyon become the largest thing everyone knew at the time, skyrocketing to ninety five stores in 35 states and Greenlake turning into a city. Late 2002 had Halcyon introduce the Azure Deal which had ten different companies merged with it to form a massive company, including Genecorp (a science company which had a goal to synthesize a human), Variablecorp (a weapons dealer), and Four Diamonds, (a company which was inventing major advances in technology). This made Halcyon rechange it's name to ultimately Halcyon Labs in 2003.

In 2005, it managed to become one of the many companies the US government had seized a deal to. It was tasked with building weaponry that could be used in ongoing wars the US was involved in, ultimately having Halcyon settle on the Nexus Project (to build a railgun). Unfortunately, by 2023, it has still not made any progress, and the project's site was destroyed by the railgun after it had exposed a heavily lethal dose of radiation.

2016 was a disastrous year for Halcyon as it had not gained any major sales. After the elections, Halcyon was withdrawn as one of the many governments after an incident in Colombia which ultimately tarnished their reputation and had the Halcyon Drop happen.

By 2023, the company had not been doing well. It had 135 stores in the country, and by 2023 it was down to just 97, and it had been forced to shut down all of it's projects and restart anew. It ultimately collapsed in 2025.
