Corporations

Many corporations dominate America and the world in the year 2077, but only a handful have enough influence in Seattle to have any amounting effect on the lawless streets. They are as follows:

**Aeon Tech:** A military cybernetics research and manufacturer. They Primarily keep to themselves, producing cutting edge tech and selling it to god knows whom. Their tech borders pure genetic modification but the eyes of the government are distracted by their tax payments and 'special offers.' To know more about these fine fellows, refer to their known tech on the cybernetics page.

**Monsota:** Perhaps the largest corp in the world. They manufacture civilian grade cybernetics, hire fleets of personal security, and dabble in the cyberspace. To the common man, these are men to be feared. Their interests lie not in Seattle's barren crime-fest, but the sales towards less than legal buyers has forced their attention. Though personnel may be far and few between here, their products and influence are anything but.

**Dolteck:** They called themselves 'the common man's corp' and they certainly had that impression. Twenty years ago when Dolteck was founded, they souly worked in worker grade augments. They made an impression overnight and production levels went through the roof, tens of thousands being made a day. Their wealth and glory lasted a mere 15 years until, due to unknown circumstances, they dissolved and all assets were sold overnight. Thousands of old Dolteck augments make their way through every crevice of the planet, and odds are you can still find them brand new.

**Medilove:** Your standard medical corporation. The government sold universal healthcare into the hands of Medilove years ago. Their trauma teams care for only the top 5%, and their methods are questionable. In Seattle their presence is non-existent.

**Visionworks:** In 2036 Visionworks was founded as a genetic research group with a goal of producing lab-grown meat and high-yield crops. Their success led to more conventional business such as chemical production and logistics. They are rumored to turn a blind eye to 'personal endeavors requiring suspicious materials' but no narcotics manufacturer has ever admitted to it. They own a few buildings downtown for the coastal logistics line.

**Traboc:** Well-known mercenary contractors. They have teams ranging from national disputes down to personal investigators. Seattle contracted Traboc to deal with local law enforcement. Their armaments may be limited, but their political and social power are not. Their presence in Seattle spiked three-fold a year ago, no one knows why.

**Food Producers International:** Do not let their generic, corner-store name fool you. They are the worlds largest and *almost* only food producer. After purchasing Visionwork's patents, they ate up whole countries for food production. It is rumored that there is internal fracturing causing local companies to be formed. They use Visionworks' logistics and some of their own to reach every corner of the planet. They have no major presence anywhere in particular, and certainly not Seattle more than the occasional meat plant.

Note that many more corporations exist, but none are larger than this bunch.
