Project Solemnity

Project Solemnity (also known as the Miraverse or the Mira Timeline) is a fictional timeline made by FusionDev and A-OSM. It focuses on the growth and development of transplanetary monopolistic technology megacorporations prioritizing profit over privacy.
== History ==
The reason Solemnity was created was because Fusion is fascinated by the idea of megacorporations selling personal info to general consumers, not just companies. And he likes cyberpunk stuff. That's it.
The timeline was formed some time around October 2024.
== Points Of Divergence ==
=== Microsoft ===
* Windows 1.0's development became hell in 1985, causing it to reset, delaying its release to 1986.
* Windows 95 wasn't released, instead Windows 4.0 was released. The first standalone operating system Microsoft made was released a few years later.
* The Cairo and Nashville projects were merged into Los Angeles, Microsoft's experimental standalone OS.
* Los Angeles became Windows 94, which introduced the Go button (Go was Solemnity's version of Start).
* Windows 94 was unsuccessful, gaining lots of negative reception for the poorly thought out UI, unfixed critical bugs and a general lack of quality control.
* Chicago and Memphis entered development the same year, Chicago revamping the UI (the only version of Windows to call the Go button Start) and Memphis attempting to fix the problems that came with Windows 94.
* Chicago and Memphis were merged again into Berlin, which became Windows 97.
* Windows 97 failed again, with the same negative reception Windows 94 got.
* Microsoft never created the Luna theme.
* Windows 02 was released instead of XP as Whistler's developers kept leaving the company. London (the development division for 02) had a decent amount of developers though.
* Windows 02 received mediocre reception. It was not good, nor bad.
* After several failed attempts to create a decent operating system, as well as severe financial troubles from it, Microsoft was forced to either declare bankruptcy or sell itself.
* Microsoft chose the latter and sold itself to Mira for $192 million.
=== Apple ===
* Steve Jobs left Apple a year earlier than OTL.
* He never returned to Apple, and so, they never really recovered from their financial troubles.
* Apple was sold to Microsoft in 1997.
* As Microsoft was sold to Mira in the 2000s, Apple became a part of Mira as well.
* Some Apple devices, like the iPod or AirPods were released under the same branding by Mira.
=== NeXT ===
* The NeXT Computer was sold for $2,500 instead of $6,500.
* The NeXT Computer was a mass success.
* NeXTSTEP was getting licensed to third party computer manufacturers like Acer and Gateway.
* NeXT was acquired by Traum in 2009.
* Over the few years it was independent, it released a handful of hardware and software, focusing more on improving existing technologies.
=== Samsung ===
* Nothing too significant happened to Samsung in Solemnity on its own.
* Samsung was acquired by Yamamoto Technologies in 2010.
=== Oracle ===
* Oracle was founded as Mira's virtualization/cloud computing division instead of being founded as an independent company.
* Oracle was responsible for developing Mira Workspaces, Mira's virtual machine software.
=== Sun Microsystems ===
* Sun Microsystems didn't exist.
=== Mira ===
* Mira Corporation was founded in 1967 as Miracle Disk.
* Their first product was the Disk/8, the predecessor to the CD.
* Disk/8 became popular around the 1970s and 1980s as computers became more mainstream.
* Created the world's first public virtual machine software, Miracle Workspaces (now Mira Workspaces) in the 1980s.
* Shortly after the release of Workspaces, Miracle Disk was renamed to the Miracle8 Cloud Foundation.
* Miracle8 released the first ever version of VoidGraphical in 1986, the same year Windows 1.0 released. VoidGraphical was more popular.
* Mira became the world's largest company in the 2020s, their assets and equity being worth $37.8 trillion USD in 2024.
* Mira is known for selling data repositories, a collection of a person's sensitive information (name, aliases, address, phone number, criminal and medical records, recent activities, etc.) to general consumers for $50 each. They recommend repurchasing a data repository once every month to refresh any data on them.
* Mira collects their data through Menolta, an integrated city surveillance and infrastructure control operating system.
* Mira is a part of the Big Three (the 3 largest technology corporations)
* Mira founded the Nova Company in the 2070s, an interplanetary technological union.
=== Yamamoto ===
* Yamamoto Corporation was founded in 1959 as an automobile manufacturer.
* They entered the computing industry in the 1970s.
* Today, they are a security, banking and technology firm.
* They developed certain APIs for Menolta, allowing Menolta to monitor purchases made with Yamamoto's technology.
* Yamamoto is a part of the Big Three (the 3 largest technology corporations)
* They were absorbed into the Nova Company in the 2070s.
=== Traum ===
* Traum was founded in 1962 as Tesserakt GmBH.
* The company aimed to create scientific representation models such as amplified particle models and skeletons for scientific and educational purposes.
* Tesserakt entered the technology market in the 1970s, developing VCRs.
* Tesserakt began manufacturing computers in the 1980s with the TesserPC-U.
* Tesserakt became massively successful.
* Tesserakt purchased NeXT in 2009.
* They were renamed to Traum in 2012.
* Traum is a part of the Big Three (the 3 largest technology corporations)
* They were absorbed into the Nova Company in the 2070s.
=== Viewfinder ===
* Viewfinder was founded in 1943 as Sucher Automobilwerke Berlin.
* Viewfinder was a competitor to Mercedes-Benz and an ally of Yamamoto, which was a competitor to Nissan.
* Viewfinder entered the technology market in 1970 with the Tritium I. It sold 3 million units.
* Today, Viewfinder is largely popular in most regions of Europe.
* Viewfinder bought Paracomm in 2026.
* Viewfinder was purchased by Mira in the 2030s.

* Systemodel was not a game company in this ATL.
* Systemodel was founded in 1724 as a clothing shop.

* Euler's operating system is based off Tuxedo.
=== Paracomm ===
* Paracomm was founded in 1946 as an audio company, making cinema equipment.
* They worked with tech giants like RCA, Philco and Magnavox to develop Concerto.
* Concerto was cancelled in the 1950s as the companies pulled out of the project. Mira took over a few years later, making Disk/8.
* Paracomm was a decently large technology conglomerate, manufacturing and selling the Themida line of computers, the FACADE line of phones and the River operating system series.
* Paracomm was purchased by Mira in the 2030s as Viewfinder was purchased by Mira.
=== Serpent ===
* Serpent was founded in 1929.
