Oniricorp

Oniricorp Interactive Software is a Carandalian technology corporation headquartered in Novo Horizonte, Tellus. Founded during the InfoScape boom at the turn of the century, Oniricorp is known for a diverse range of products, most popularly its MillenniumOS operating system, the Tesseract series of personal computers, the NeverSleep Netrunner Suite, and the DreamTime Visualizer.
Founded by Gerard Petersson in 2599, Oniricorp had its start in contracted computer parts manufacturing and software development, although it would quickly expand over the years that followed thanks to venture capital and hedge fund investments. The buyout of AI research and software company Satya Labs in 2604 would precede rapid growth for the company, and by 2609 Oniricorp would launch its flagship Tesseract series of personal computers onto the market alongside its proprietary operating system, MillenniumOS 1.0.
Initially finding popularity with crypto miners and netrunners due to the modular nature of the OS, it would soon be adopted by a number of corporations on account of Oniricorp's lack of connections to major megacorporate entities, as backdoors were a common—even if unfounded—fear regarding Chen Wu's cwOS. This perceived 'neutrality' would work to Oniricorp's advantage, attracting investments from larger players that sought to reinforce a potential competitor to cwOS and preventing a buyout of the comparatively small tech company. New releases of MillenniumOS and Tesseract would follow semi-regularly, with the release of MillenniumOS 1.5 in 2641 having the company's largest release until that of MillenniumOS Constellation Edition in 2695.
Large investments into Oniricorp would lead to a number of specialized diversifications and high-level contracts, such as the development of the NeverSleep Netrunner Suite in collaboration with the Stapleford Group, a full-immersion InfoScape access system with a life-support suite to sustain prolonged netrunning sessions, which, most importantly to its marketing, allowed the user to continue without sleep for days or even weeks, so long as the nutrient reserves and brain chemicals on the life support system remained stocked. While Oniricorp would distribute the suite itself, the Stapleford Group would be responsible for the distribution of the required chemical and nutrient packs. This product would prove incredibly popular with corporate and freelance hackers whose work involved long-term operations that would otherwise not be possible without fatigue or serious neurological injury.
Oniricorp's release of the DreamTime Visualizer in 2693 has proven significant, attracting investments and contracts with corporations and law enforcement.
