In [[3025]], Vinson Pharmaceuticals, led by President and CEO Baroness [[Marth Terenson]], felt threatened by Torrence's newly-installed socialist government. The company feared being nationalized, so they sought individuals from outside of Torrence to invest. The goal was to have at least forty percent of the company owned by off-world interests, a threshold that would mean they could not be nationalized. In the early 3020s, Vinson acquired a reputation for being able to isolate the healing agents in folk remedies, such as herbal teas. The [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] was a customer, purchasing Vinson's inexpensive painkillers.<ref name=HDp173>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 173: "Vinson Pharmaceuticals"</ref>

In the end, Vinson flexed its political muscle. Rather than take the chance that the company would be taken over by the government of Torrence, they were able to convince [[First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] to remove the socialists from power and replace them with a government more amenable to Vinson's point of view.<ref name=H:HDp163/>
