NeXus Inc. is one of the most influential mega-corporations dealing in corporate cyber-security, advanced technology manufacturing and research. They were one of the first in the world to come up with an operating system designed to manage and control an entire city's infrastructure.

They are notorious for buying up other influential companies worldwide, bleeding out any possible competition of other Asian corporations. Over the years, it has also developed a controversial reputation as a corporation to be feared and one which covers its unethical tracks using an army of lawyers, their affiliated *"assassins"*, and even their own personal connection and agreement with the government of South Korea.

## History

### **2010s-2016s**

The company was first established as a computer research institute for computer programming in November 13, 2010 by prodigy programmer, Kwon Ji-Seok (aged 23) and his university peers, under the guise ***"Check-Mate Programming Institute"*** - created to train passionate individuals in the craft of Computer Science within the city.

It was during this time that Ji-Seok and his mates decided to work on their first project to create an Operating System that could manage, as well as secure, not only one's house, but an entire company establishment.

The project underwent multiple trial and errors until the first prototype, **"Nexy 1.0"** was presented in front a panel of local investors in **2015,** which ended in failure as the judges figured that the group were still too young to know what they were doing, followed by the abundance of faulty bugs in the program. But, this did not stop Ji-Seok from achieving his ambition.

### **2019s**

**"Nexus O.S."** finally made its first debut after Ji-Seok sourced out investors from Western regions of the world - he aimed Germany in particular which proved great success after garnering the attention of Chloe Rainn Heidrach (aged 30), a wealthy businesswoman and founder of a successful Trading Company in Berlin, in charge of exporting Asian goods and merchandise into the western regions.

The O.S. was used for the business establishment for mainly cyber-security, and management.

It also didn't take long after for Chloe to fall victim to Ji-Seok's wit and charming intelligence, that the two married, and together they ran the business together.

With Chloe's impeccable business skills and Ji-Seok's programming skills, the pair went on to establish **"NeXus Incorporated"** and the **"Eden Project"**, then soon after the **"EVE O.S."** project began.

## The Eden Project

The Eden Project started out as a start-up to experiment and test their Operating System's capabilities of managing an entire infrastructure.

The fresh investment consortium known as **"NeXus Inc."** offered the fallen South Korean government $300 billion to purchase a plot of an old deserted area, south of the country's capital. Congress approved of the purchase by a very slim majority and the project on the site began with building a small mock-up of a village in which each house was properly hooked up with wire connections. Construction of bigger buildings and other houses continued to occur, and little by little, they began to reside local participants into them - focusing on civilians who've lost their homes to natural disasters, and North Korean refugees who had no where else to live.

Finished in a year later, **2024**, the project had a functioning tiny village that was then encased in a huge mirror-like dome over 50 miles in diameter. By the end of **2026**, the project finally came to an end with great success, and the site was then renamed to what it is now, **Eden City**. Developers continued to expand a beautiful city within the dome and continued to enhance their driving force, named Eve O.S. - *an interconnection of electronic systems that interact to manage the city-wide infrastructure of the city.*

It was at this point that the founding corporations began to advertise throughout the rest of the world that a new life awaited everyone and anyone; human and not.

## The Headquarters

Located 40 miles off-shore from the outskirts of Neo Seoul City; this massive complex of ethereal architecture is home to the biggest laboratories and advanced technologies in the world; surrounded and protected by trained forces, state-of-the-art equipment and technology, housing only the best and the most intellectually gifted scientists in the entire world.

Since it is off-shore, employees and guests can travel to and from the headquarters via a 20 minute bullet train ride. There are also on-site dormitories for employees who are required to spend multiple days within the premise to work on particular projects.

Recreational facilities are also provided such as a gymnasium, an infinity pool, and a Tiki Bar.

*Ensuring that while there is work, there is also play-time.*

### The S-IC Control Room

Where the heart of Eden City mainly lies.

It's a large server room that stores all the data within the city for Eve O.S..

Mainly operated and monitored by selective and the most trusted NeXus Operatives via supercomputers all working together. Access into these computers is only possible with the use of an access code, once access has been gained, the hacker can install a personal backdoor virus and then access to all of the inhabitant's live vital and basic information -- these codes are sold off as special pieces information by notorious info brokers who used to be Operatives for the conglomerate.

There's another center that lies within the server, that is totally secured off by NeXus. These contains even deeper, more personal information regarding the inhabitant, or corporation databases. These are not accessible easily, only a select few have done it, but it's determined that they all were captured immediately... and not many know whether they still live to this day.

## The Staff

Those who wish to work in one of the most professional environments with advanced and state-of-the-art equipment, then NeXus Inc. is the perfect place for them. NeXus is constantly looking for people from all walks of life; those who aren't afraid to stand out from the crowd and push the boundaries to join the pioneering corporation.

### Official Uniforms

The headquarters has definitive rules and policies guiding corporate dress, uniforms and equipment. There is a little freedom for variation except in the uppermost echelons of the corporation, and amongst bodyguards and undercover operatives. Employees of subsidiaries owned by NeXus but not bearing the NeXus name are not specifically required to conform to the same standards as employees of NeXus itself.
