PACT
Van Lang
Originally hailed as proof that Vietnam had finally entered the galactic economy as a major player, the colonization of Van Lang has caused something of a predicament for Vietnam. Van Lang has its own distinct biosphere, with complex life having existed on the world's landmasses for approximately 700 million years, longer than Earth. While not (normally) actively toxic to Earth-derived life, in most cases the biochemistry was sufficiently different that no nourishment could be attained from it. It was found though that relatively simple genetic alterations would allow for digestion; while modifying livestock was acceptable, the increasing voices among the colonists who would prefer to better fit their world has ignited a storm of controversy over non-therapeutic alterations. So far, the relevant authorities have mostly ducked the issue by requiring overly-stringent testing.
