[hider=PRE WAR CORPORATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS] [u][b]• Blue Sections Security Firm:[/b][/u] Founded in 2240, twenty-three years before the apocalyptic war, Blue Sections Security Firm was a private security and investigation contractor. Funded by a number of Wall Street stock players, the division acted as security guards, carried out private investigations, and buffering for police units. Their ranks were made up of a diversity of backgrounds, from ex-military to retired law enforcement to PI’s. In 2248 they developed an international unit, more heavily armed and better funded than the original United States security base. Titled Blue Sections International Division, they were a child company of BSSF. Officially they offered offshore corporate security, political escort, and policing in unstable regions. Unofficially, they were hard hearted thugs who enforced NAF bureaucratic extortion via brute force and threats, as well as keeping potential insurgents stamped down. Ordered as off limits to media personal and having never faced any consequence for their harsh and even brutal methods, they were effectively off-leash and untouchable. In truth the only difference between BSSF and BSID was the weaponry and levels of jurisdiction. Based out of Chicago, Illinois, Blue Sections had recruitment centers and private armories and warehouses all over the country. [u][b]• Alpha-Omega Genetics Labs:[/b][/u] Founded in 2180, Alpha Omega Genetics was a leading corporation in genetics research and green level genetic modifications. Though accused multiple times since their founding of unethical research and illegal experiments (such as human gene fusions and cloning), Alpha-Omega always maintained a spotless slate. Granted they were heavily funded by a number of wealthy individuals and were also Blue Sections Securities’ number one client. Just a few years prior to the Fourth World War, the accusations of genetic engineering and gene splicing flared to a new degree, resulting in protests outside of their corporate HQ in New York City. Ultimately all allegations were labeled unprovable and all evidence was declared inadequate. Even the various disappearances of several reporters who were working undercover in Alpha-Omega labs across the nation. Originally out of NYC, Alpha-Omega Genetics formed a partnership with an London based genetics corporation before later on absorbing them into Alpha-Omega as their “Euro branch”. Alpha Omega has a number of research labs across the nation, and no shortage of secret R&D facilities to boot. [u][b]• Verhauzen Robotics INC:[/b][/u] Founded in 2223 by the German born Werner Verhauzen, Verhauzen Robotics became the NAF’s leading robotics manufacturer, their clientele spanning from mining companies to appliance chains to politicians. In 2258, after pressure from the board of directors and stock holders, the aging Werner stepped down begrudgingly, allowing his son John Verhauzen to take over as CEO. Two years later, after rubbing elbows with politicians and military bureaucrats, Verhauzen Robotics INC was contracted to prototype and potentially produce “combots” and heavier VI controlled mecha. Verhauzen Robotics ceases all lesser contracts and acquired under the table funding and their best minds set to work on building machines of war. One year before the apocalyptic war, Verhauzen manufactured humanoid “combots”, repulsorlift VI platform weapons, and small scale battle armor and mech units. Amidst the war, Verhauzen was pressured heavily by military brass, and when they failed to deliver, the NAF nationalized the company and seized all corporate resources, facilities, funds, and personnel. Verhauzen corporate HQ was based in Seattle, however practically ever state had Verhauzen factories and R&D facilities. [u][b]• Cerebra:[/b][/u] Founded in 2190, Cerebra is a government sponsored Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Intelligence research and development division. It was their ingenuity that granted humanity personalized robots, interactive VI personas, and user more convenient and user friendly computers and other devices. Though predominantly civilian, Cerebra did pan out many of their scientists, programs, and software to the military and corporate major sectors. This granted businesses access to efficient and money-saving programs and artificial assistance, while the military was granted advanced AI and VI technology. It was Cerebra’s firmware that brought Verhauzen’s robotics to life. [/hider] [hider=CHARACTER OUTLINE AND CS TEMPLATE] [b]NOTE:[/b] The raw form of the character sheet rests below.
