What with the collapse of the US government and all, Corporations pretty much run things. They guard and control their territories like small states, their employees the citizens. Cyberpunks genereally hate the corps, and their control, and would never think about selling out....but then again, kibble can get pretty boring after a while, and that corporate job can look pretty nice when you're on the streets or sleepin in a coffin.....

Arasaka

This security and police corporation is well-known for their elite troops, but watch yourself...Arasaka tends to be more self-serving than protecting.

Biotechnica

With the creation of the alternative fuel source CHOOH2, Biotechnica grew from a small firm to an industry contender. They are now the leading biological engineering corporation in the world with replicant manufacture starting to really pay off, but they're always looking for the next breakthrough.

DeathGames Inc.*

Another entertainment corporation, only this one deals in one specific sport: DeathGames, where carefully bred and specially trained humans with no more than 5% cybernetics battle their way through the ruins of Avalon, Catalina Island off the coast of California, wiping out cyborgs and, if necessary, each other. The Ultimate DeathGames Championship held every year is the highest rated annual show, broadcast all over the world.

DreamCorp*

The largest entertainment corporation in the world, DC holds the contracts for several top musicians who gave up their rocker dreams for the ready money, as well as 75% of the DeathGamer contracts.

Eurobusiness Machines Corporation (EBM)

Headquartered in Hamburg, EBM is the largest computer and electronics manufacturer in the world with offices around the globe.

Event Horizon***

A British firm built on the principles of pure capitalism (ie, black market), Event Horizon is the world's largest manufacturer of Memox™ datacubes, although they have many other divisions, including scientific research, cyberware, space plane service and asteroid exploration, and even small appliance manufacture. It is rumored that Event Horizon has a connection to Sierra Survival, but the nature of the relationship varies from teller to teller.

InfoComp

Information is InfoComp's trade. Anything you want to know, any problem you want solved, they will put their heads to it...for a hefty fee.

Merrill, Asukaga, & Finch

Militech

MTI is the world's largest producer and seller of military weapons of all kinds. And if you don't have the army to use their impressive line of war toys, they'll supply the mercenaries to fight for you.

Network News 54

NN54 owns the airwaves, monopolizing broadcast media.

NumaCorp**

This entertainment corporation is highly unusual in that its main purpose is to give talented rockers a chance to work in one of the highest quality recording studios in the world and enjoy the benefits of high exposure and promotion--without having their music interfered with in any way by the CEO, The Numan, a venerated rockerboy himself, or anyone else. In NumaCorp, it's all about the music, and NumaCorp is about the only corporation actually cheered on by most cyberpunks.

Orbital Air

If you wanna get something or someone from here to orbit, Orbit Air will handle it, flying a huge fleet of Hermes spaceplanes.

PetroChem

Dallas-based Petrochem is the world's largest CHOOH2 manufacturer.

Sierra Survival*

This underground organization is technically a paramilitary survivalist group, but they're also a science corporation specializing in biotech research and defense development... officially, that is. Suspicion runs high that Sierra Survival holds both the Noah's Ark Project animal DNA repository and the Human Genome Project's human DNA repository, hence the need for a well-trained and well-armed fighting force to keep the precious resources out of the hands of competetive biotech firms.

Trauma Team International (TT)

Trauma Team provides ambulance and paramedical service just about anywhere from their expert medical teams equipped with AVs and everything needed to keep the paying customer alive.
