## Lore

Although the former psychic catastrophe shocked the entire world, the leaders of Shiro Technology Corporation still manage to rebuild the company in the most important city of Malay Peninsula, Syonan (Japanese: 昭南). As the war between COS and the Empire escalated, psychic technology was reused in the battlefield, and the power of Shiro Technology Corporation (STC) dramatically soared. To develop the psychic technology and other biological weapons, STC and other Imperial Big-Techs massively engaged in unethical and lethal human experiment in the Imperial Southeastern Asian colony.

As the war continued, most of the Imperial armed forces were sent to the frontline against COS army, and the Malay Peninsula became defenseless. Guided by nationalism and communism, an unprecedented uprising raged the Peninsula. In a month, almost all the territories in the region were occupied by the leftist partisans, except for Syonan. In fact, the partisans were not only supported by COS and the Western leftist, but also greatly backed by STC. They were viewed as the tool to vanish the competitors and increase the number of pro-totalism supporters in Syonan. At the very moment, STC was permitted to deploy their newly developed drone forces and bioweapons to suppress the rebellion. With the help of STC's advanced weapon, the Imperial government forces eventually cracked down the uprising.

However, for the Imperial government, peace is not free. The war with COS and crackdown of the leftists had make STC the most prominent political power in the Empire. In the latest Syonan Parliament election, the Ultratotalist Union, a political party backed by STC, tallied 42.9 percent of the vote. Meanwhile, by infiltrating the Imperial intelligence network, STC spread the rumours that the totalists were planned to initiate a coup d'état against the Syonan government. When most of the Imperial military forces on the Malay Peninsula were grouped in Syonan city to prevent the coup, the first Control Beacon, which was located in the centre of Syonan, was activated. Based on these Imperial Army that were controlled, the ultratotalism armed forces, Psychic Order was founded.

In the next few months, Psychic Order conquered the entire defenseless Imperial Southeastern Asian colony, making hundreds of millions of people live in the shadow of mind-control. For the rest of the world, what is more terrifying is that the number "simultaneous" supporters of ultratotalism is rocketing around the world. As the COS Army are gradually kicked out of Japan homeland, the Imperial government has to make a choice about how to deal with these extremists.

By applying unethical biological and cybernetic technology and designing sophisticated economy system, STC has achieved to control almost all the details in its ruling society. The birth rate, ethnical ratio, individual consumer goods demand, personal preferences, capital distribution, genes and other parameters are carefully adjusted by a complex computation system. Unlike the traditional totalitarianism ideas that are backed by large bureaucratic system, ultratotalism aims to minimize the human interference to the society, because the human interference is equivalent to the free will interference, which is harmful to the system. Hence, ultratotalists prefer to use technology, such as genetic modification and cybernetics, to hard code the system.
