'''Nanomedicines''', or '''nanomeds''' for short, are a [[List of Rare Commodities|Rare Commodity]] available at Elion Dock in the Kuma system. Nanomedicines are sophisticated pharmaceuticals that use nanoscale materials to repair cell damage on a molecular level. They can heal any injury in a fraction of the normal time, and can potentially cure almost any disease and infection. Furthermore, regular use of nanomeds affects cellular senescence, drastically slowing the ageing process. In theory, nanomed users will live between 30 and 50 years longer, and will enjoy near-perfect health during those extra decades.<ref name="NNA">[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c092a52a3125f40584502a4 GalNet: New Nanomedicine Announced]</ref> | |||

Following the IHO's ruling, Professor Rook announced a campaign to construct a new pharmaceutical facility to produce the Vitadyne nanomeds on January 24. Pharmaceutical powerhouses [[Neomedical Industries]] and [[Vandermeer Corporation]] launched competing public campaigns to collect materials for the construction of nanomed manufacturing plants to bid for distribution license.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c49df211ec21f03130f2b2d GalNet: Vitadyne Nanomeds Campaign]</ref> The campaigns concluded on January 31.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c531b76c6e0d84085155f21 GalNet: Vitadyne Campaign Ends]</ref> | Following the IHO's ruling, Professor Rook announced a campaign to construct a new pharmaceutical facility to produce the Vitadyne nanomeds on January 24.

On January 26, Simguru [[Pranav Antal]] condemned the IHO's ruling and doubled down on categorizing Vitadyne's actions as theft. Members of the galaxy's medical community also expressed reservations about the ruling, since denying Utopia's ownership of the nanomeds in this case has likely guaranteed that Utopia will not cooperate or offer to share other technologies in the future.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5c485d59d5465130d668758e GalNet: Utopia Condemns Approval of Vitadyne Nanomedicines]</ref> | On January 26, Simguru [[Pranav Antal]] condemned the IHO's ruling and doubled down on categorizing Vitadyne's actions as theft.

On June | On June 9, 3306, after over a year of preparation to ensure stringent quality controls, nanomedicines were finally introduced to the public market. Professor Rook revealed that Vandermeer Corporation had been given the contract to produce nanomeds, which would be exclusively distributed at Elion Dock in the Kuma system.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5edf4e74b6d47141130b8f33 GalNet: Vitadyne Nanomedicines Reach Galactic Market]</ref> | ||
