International Genetics Incorporated, or InGen, was a bioengineering company founded by John Hammond in the 1970s. It originally handled normal genetic engineering, such as making miniature elephants, but moved on to something much grander. Sometime in the 1980s, Hammond began construction on an amphitheater in San Diego, but it was abandoned. By 1989, a theme park on Isla Nublar, 120 miles off of Costa Rica, was nearing completion, and another park, Jurassic Park: Europe, was beginning construction on an island in the Azores. However, interference from one of InGen's rivals, BioSyn, caused a shutdown of all of the park's systems, and the dinosaurs ran free. The park was abandoned, and work in the Azores ceased. After Hammond subsequently retired, his nephew, Peter Ludlow, who didn't share his views on the environment, took up the reigns of CEO. Ludlow's faulty decisions led to the San Diego incident, where he lost his life, and any last bits of trust towards InGen.
