Sigma R&D

**Sigma R&D** (Research and Development) is a private corporation created a few days following PROJECT's secure end. They have been the principal sponsor of the NEW/G Legion. True sources, however, suggest that it was formed sometime during the *PROJECT-G/NEX War* to provide heroes with advanced weaponry and armour to aid them in their fight to destroy the megacorporation.

## Overview

Sigma R&D specialises in robotics and cybernetics. It has a number of laboratories and buildings in countries across the globe. They have hi-tech medical labs, as well as advanced robotic or cybernetic labs, and their own military grade equipment. Their Sigmabots are capable of acting as both security guards and soldiers. The corporation has considerable wealth, as shown by its ability to fund massive external projects, detonate its own facilities without financial concern, and a large supply basic assets such as automobiles, aircraft and helicopters.

Sigma R&D became a business stock partner with Archibald Robotics, after Roboneeko bought shares in Archibald Robotics. He hacked into the same corporation and discovered that Salazar Progektö and the Corporate Renegades were interested in research happening there and had raided their laboratories. Roboneeko bought shares in the corporation whilst Salazar was still a lab rat on a secret research project being conducted by the corporation. However, they later severed ties with Archibald Robotics after knowing their unforgivable ethics, Roboneeko witnessing amputated nevian beings being transformed against their own will. He even asked his COO to take over a brief moment to undergo therapy as he is unable to look at the graphic evidence.

The corporation focused on building state of the art androids and transforming amputated, or deceased people into cyborgs, and it is Roboneeko's vision that robots will one day always serve nevanity and help nevians out with everyday chores, making the planet a better place, which is the opposite of PROJECT; Whom built robots as adaptive killing units or as infantry sent into combat, which obviously makes them dangerous and unsafe for the common people.

Due to them being the sponsor of the NEW/G, Sigma R&D is their chief partner in almost everything, such as supplying them with their chrono suits, chrono armours and even weaponry. In fact, Fiona Vance's sword is actually her own old rapier that has been modified by the corporation to enhance its power and install futuristic technology.

That does not stop them from creating mechas of their own.

## Structure

Sigma R&D has approximately 430 employees as of near the end of 3025. It is also known to be founded somewhere in 3015. Evidence suggests that they hire every capable person in the field of weapons, armour and cybernetics, particularly those that are providing for military forces all around the planet.

## Trivia

### General

* There a total of four buildings that they have detonated through choice, but did not affect them financially. This concludes that they are as wealth as the former megacorporation.
* All of the NEW/G warriors' weaponry are manufactured by Sigma R&D.
* Haruto Roboneeko is one eccentric leader. However, he is extremely competent and charismatic.
* Gucci Intermittent's Blood Raider has cybernetics deriving from this corporation, right after PROJECT was destroyed.
* Some say there is a genocidal force beneath their warm exterior. It is still unclear if that is confirmed. In May 3027, this suspicion is proven to be incorrect.
* They had a habit of keeping some of their large mecha designs to be kept secret, as the Armed Forces of the Panamoan Republic has suspected that they might use it for evil intentions.
* Sigma R&D appears to be extremely skill in the arms industry, having managed to produce Lunar Frost's signature pulse rifle that she used during her two year career in the NEW/G.
* During the *PROJECT-G/NEX War*, Sigma R&D was a major weapons manufacturer for the G/NEX rebels, as they are clearly envy of their superiors' armaments. The firm did manufacture a fair share of weapons, equipment and armour, but are not enough to keep up with their demands, resulting in the rebels' distinct looks in combat, lacking in uniform.
* In a new era, Sigma R&D became a leading weapons and armour manufacturer for the heroes on the newer generations.
