Magnacorps

**"Whoever said that war was the most profitable enterprise on Earth was God damned right."**

**-- Rig #07 E Manager**

From his control spire in the Bermudan Isles, The Director watched on as the world collapsed right before his eyes, though compared to many others who gasped in shock and covered their eyes in disbelief at the bright lights of nuclear discharge, knowing that the end of the world as they knew it drew near, The Director instead stared on, perhaps in admiration, at the result of his many years of hard work.

## Beginnings as Trinity PMC

Magnacorps initially formed during the downfall of the United States of America (post-1991) as a Private Military Company under the name of Trinity - supposedly named after the three initial founders, aiding the United States government in national security, VIP protection and anti-insurgent operations, growing to significant renown for their efficient, though cold and brutal, approach.

## During American Revival:

Post-2001 terrorist attacks, Trinity soon took up the name of Magnacorps and, though it continued part of its work as a PMC, it shifted its attention towards more profitable avenues - namely the rearming of the weak and desperate American government. Soon, Magnacorps was one of the most important corporations producing and researching military-grade equipment for the US military, upgrading the reserve stockpile from outdated Colt M16s and Soviet AK-74s to the modernized Magnacorps M4 carbines (M4 for short), inspired by a Colt M4 design that never managed to enter production.

The corporation was soon manufacturing a significant portion of the US military's equipment and, in 2006, after secret meetings between The Director and the US government, began clandestine production of tactical nukes and thermonuclear bombs. Production continued smoothly and R&D was constantly being pushed to its limits pre-Great Invasion, as the numerous minor wars the United States Army intervened in or started served as great grounds to experiment and test military technology and tactics, including but not limited to tactical nuclear strikes, bio-weapons and chemical weapons. It is also no real secret that Magnacorps was still directly involved in some of these confrontations, utilizing its Private Military to aid the APF.

During the Great Invasion, Magnacorps refrained from engaging actively in the conflict, instead refuging themselves to their home base in the Bermudan Isles and gazing on at the world-shattering conflict they helped create.

## Megacorporate State:

Post-Great Invasion, the megacorporation began an aggressive takeover of the island, claiming it as their own land and becoming one of the first corporate nations to exist, soon utilizing their private army and their resources to expand their influence over the European continent, though more importantly, the oil extraction and refinement from the North Sea, dealing with the economically fallen Soviet Union and constructing vast amounts of oil rigs, which they then used as forward bases of operation to exert influence over shattered Europe. It was not long before Magnacorps began trading with their old partners once more - the American government, providing them with top-grade military equipment for hefty prices and not only, as the Great Invasion brought an end to American oil extraction from Iraq and Kuwait, thus selling petrol to the US government and many other client states. Despite their tendency to trade with the US government, it is no secret that Magnacorps has also sold blueprints of personal energy shielding technology and numerous stealth drones to the Soviet Union.

Magnacorps is also a very important player in the market of cybernetic implants, selling their cyber enhancements all across the North Americas and significant parts of Europe.

Magnacorps utilizes the help of elite units of genetically engineered soldiers to often 'soften deals' or assist in the complete termination of market rivals. They're clad in Magnacorps exosuits, providing the user significantly increased physical strength and adequate protection against small arms fire with the help of advanced armor plating and (in the case of truly dangerous operations) energy shielding. The exosuits also provide the user with thermal vision, night vision, a HUD and advanced AI 'signal-sight' technology which can be utilized to spot movement through walls with the help of Wi-fi signals or, if not available, detecting sound heard by the user and calculating the rough location of its source.
