Baker Pharmaceuticals had been in business with the Lyran Commonwealth for many years but encountered serious financial and personnel problems after losing a 300-million-[[Kroner|S-Bill]] lawsuit in [[3023]] when a batch of their synthetic molecular antibodies went toxic, killing over 100 [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] soldiers. Like a shark smelling blood in the water, Nashan Diversified launched a takeover attempt in [[3024]], which Baker CEO John Sleeth attempted to resist by ordering his brokers to buy back all public Baker stocks at a substantially higher price than Nashan's offer.<ref name=HSTLC-142/>
 
  
While saving the company in the short-term, the heavy financial burden of the buy-back forced BP to cut costs and let go staff, leaving it in dire straits with many observers questioning if the company would survive beyond [[3025]].<ref name=HSTLC-142/> Nashan would ultimately succeed in acquiring Baker Pharmaceuticals, but rather than reorganize and integrate the company's Baker 3 headquarters into the Nashan family, Nashan chose to virtually liquidate BP and transfer its remaining assets to Nashan's newer [[Donegal]] offices to serve as its '''Nashan Pharmaceuticals''' division.<ref name=HHS-134/>

Baker Pharmaceuticals has been in business with the Lyran Commonwealth for many years.  In [[3023]], the company paid a 300 million credit lawsuit when a batch of their synthetic antibodies went toxic and killed over 100 soldiers of the [[LCAF]]. To prevent a takeover of the company by [[Nashan Diversified]], the company president, John Sleeth, authorized the buy back of all public owned stock at a higher price than Nashan was offering.  This has led the company to cut costs, staff and operations.  As of [[3025]], the company has been faced with many problems and many wonder if it will survive the year.
