The B.O.W. projects
When the “Mother Virus” was first discovered, it seemed to provide a huge medical breakthrough, but the obvious side effects soon took dominance over the research.
At the time of the foundation of Umbrella, the world was in a state of paranoia brought about by the cold war, and the need for weapons was overwhelming. Thus Umbrella initiated the B.O.W. projects, where they would attempt to utilize the abilities of the T-virus to create controllable bioorganic weapons.
The first experiments were the “lickers” but as they proved too uncontrollable, research shifted towards designing a horde of smaller uncontrollable creatures to release onto the enemy, and then focus on the Tyrant project, which was to be an enhancement of the human more than a new B.O.W.
After the cold war ended, Umbrella continued their research, as the market for weapons never wears out. Latest in their lines of experiments is the Nemesis project, on which very little is known.
It is still unknown to which extends Umbrella is working with the US government, but some things point to Umbrella not doing so. Perhaps the size of Umbrella, being a global corporation, has made Umbrella work on their own. One can only speculate…
