When I first started seeing UB in SR, especially the advertisments in London
Sourcebook, everything screamed L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology. Now FASA
couldn't use Scientology or any other real life organization, and thus
invented UB.
The easy thing would be just to change it, so UB was the good guys, and
Scientology was the bad guys... now wait that doesn't change anything :-)
In any case changing Shadowrun names into real life names is something that
I do all the time. In my SR world Euphoria wasn't taken to Amber Gel, she
was taken to a Coca-Cola botteling plant. My players don't like Coke much
anymore.
