''[[File:WEYA-Emblem.png|center|frameless|360x360px]]''<center>'''<big><big><big>THE FUTURE IS NOW</big></big></big>'''</center>

Weston-Yamada is one of the wealthiest and most influential corporations in known space. It is recognized for its relentless pursuit of profit through cutting-edge technology, space exploration, bioengineering, and defense manufacturing. Formed from the merger of the Japanese Yamada Corporation and British Weston Corporation, Weston-Yamada is now the largest corporate monopoly and is embedded in nearly every industry.

== Early History ==

The roots of the Weston-Yamada Corporation can be traced to the ambitious endeavors of the Weston Corporation in Britain and Yamada Corporation in Japan. Weston Corporation was renowned for its robotics, defense technologies, and artificial intelligence breakthroughs. Founded by industrial magnate '''Alexander Weston''', the company initially focused on military contracts and became a leader in producing advanced android models and automated weaponry, pivotal in shaping future warfare.

Meanwhile, Yamada Corporation, founded by visionary entrepreneur '''Ryuichi Yamada''', was at the forefront of bioengineering, biotechnology, and logistics. The company became instrumental in developing efficient methods of space colonization, notably launching successful lunar settlements and establishing the groundwork for interstellar logistics. The Yamada Corporation’s expertise in biological research also contributed to medical advances, notably its work on regenerating synthetic tissue and enhancing humans' adaptability to space colonization.

As both companies thrived, it became evident that a partnership would be mutually advantageous. Weston’s advancements in cybernetics and defense complemented Yamada’s expertise in biotechnological applications and space operations. Following negotiations driven by market demands and emerging economic opportunities, the two companies agreed on a merger, forming Weston-Yamada.

The newly merged corporation sought to dominate multiple sectors by integrating its core strengths. The synergy between robotics, biological engineering, and defense technology enabled Weston-Yamada to expand into new markets, from space exploration to terraforming and planetary colonization. Their early ventures into creating advanced androids, space-ready habitats, and biological solutions for extraterrestrial environments soon positioned Weston-Yamada as a dominant player in known space. The company's reputation as a pioneer in innovation became the foundation upon which its monopoly status was built.

The merger marked the beginning of Weston-Yamada’s ambitions to establish a corporate monopoly, pushing the boundaries of technological advancement while embedding itself into almost every aspect of industry and human life. Today, the legacy of Weston and Yamada's early ambitions remains evident in the corporation’s operations, driven by an insatiable quest for profit, discovery, and expansion.

== The Merger ==

The merger between Weston Corporation and Yamada Corporation was a calculated, strategic move. It came at a time when both companies had already reached significant heights in their respective fields - robotics, defense, biotechnology, and space exploration. In the face of increased competition and the emerging demands of interstellar colonization, both entities saw value in pooling their resources. The merger wasn't merely a business union; it was a fusion of expertise, vision, and ambition that aimed to create the largest and most influential corporate monopoly known.

The unification was also driven by economic and political pressures - globalization had accelerated corporate consolidation as the race for influence over space technologies and extraterrestrial resources intensified. Weston Corporation brought its advanced android production capabilities and military connections, while Yamada Corporation introduced bioengineering innovations and its experience in logistics and space settlement. By integrating their strengths, Weston-Yamada rapidly ascended to monopolize sectors like planetary development, defense, bioengineering, and logistics.

The merger transformed both companies, enabling them to exert control over space infrastructure, exploit opportunities for profit from resource-rich worlds, and influence policy on an interstellar scale. The partnership provided the financial and technological muscle to become embedded within nearly every industry. As the foremost supplier to the United Nations, Weston-Yamada secured lucrative contracts that allowed it to influence politics and even military strategies, giving the corporation a formidable hold over humanity’s expansion into the stars.

== Partnership with the United Nations ==

The partnership between Weston-Yamada and the [[United Nations]] is one of mutual necessity, yet often fraught with tension. Weston-Yamada provides essential technological advancements, research, defense manufacturing, and logistical support that the UN relies on heavily, which gives the corporation substantial leverage over policy and decision-making. In return, the UN benefits from Weston-Yamada's innovation in sectors like space infrastructure, bioengineering, and advanced weaponry.

This interdependence allows Weston-Yamada to operate with relative freedom, often embedding corporate personnel in military operations under the guise of support and advisory roles. The [[Marines|United Nations Marine Corps]] (UNMC) frequently has Weston-Yamada representatives, like the Corporate Liaison, onboard to "support operations." However, the real mission of these representatives often extends to intelligence-gathering, ensuring that military decisions favor corporate interests.

The partnership, though beneficial to both entities, is contentious among many in the UN and military. Critics argue that Weston-Yamada's motives prioritize profit over the safety of colonies or the overall mission of the United Nations, citing instances of corporate-directed experiments and covert influence on Marine deployments. Nonetheless, the corporation's influence is difficult to counter given its economic and technological power, effectively embedding Weston-Yamada in nearly every aspect of the UN's interstellar presence.

This relationship also led to joint initiatives, such as the development of the [[Species#Artificial Womb Soldier Program|Artificial Womb Soldier Program]], where Weston-Yamada's bioengineering resources helped boost the military's capacity. However, even in such ventures, the emphasis remained on maximizing profit for Weston-Yamada while fulfilling their obligations to the UN. The UN gains access to cutting-edge technology, but remains in a precarious position of dependency.

== Research and Development ==

Weston-Yamada's commitment to cutting-edge research and development extends across numerous domains, from bioengineering to military technology. The corporation places a particular focus on studying extraterrestrial lifeforms, specifically the [[Xenonids|Xenonid]] species, due to their potential for high-value applications in both defense and bioengineering. Driven by an ambition to harness these creatures for military advantage, Weston-Yamada has conducted numerous field experiments, capturing and studying the lifeforms in secret. These experiments are often deemed dangerous, pushing ethical and safety boundaries in pursuit of technological supremacy.

Weston-Yamada's R&D initiatives also cover atmospheric processing, terraforming, and space exploration technologies, which are crucial in enabling resource extraction and sustaining colonization efforts. Their advances in synthetic biology, robotics, and weapon systems have positioned the company at the forefront of interstellar technological development. A major portion of these technologies are kept strictly proprietary, with Weston-Yamada tightly controlling access to the research data to maintain an advantage over competitors and strengthen its monopoly on key technologies.

== Corporate Liaison and Private Military Contractors ==

The influence of Weston-Yamada is visibly embodied in the presence of the Corporate Liaison on UNMC vessels. The Corporate Liaison ensures that the company’s interests are upheld, serving as an intermediary between Weston-Yamada and the [[Marines|United Nations Marine Corps]]. The Liaison’s role extends beyond the battlefield; they are involved in negotiations, post-operation assessments, and information control - ensuring that corporate interests are maintained in any engagement, from extraterrestrial research missions to disaster relief operations.

[[Weston Yamada's PMCs|Private Military Contractors]] (PMCs) deployed by Weston-Yamada act as a direct extension of its will and power. These PMCs are not limited to marine operations; they also provide security for high-value assets, participate in sensitive corporate missions, and serve as emergency responders during critical incidents. Depending on the situation, their objectives may diverge significantly from those of the [[United Nations]], and they are often involved in safeguarding Weston-Yamada's research, enforcing security on remote colonies, and conducting operations where discretion is key. Weston-Yamada PMCs are selected from among the most capable and experienced operatives, ensuring that they are able to execute complex missions independently while representing the corporation’s interests.

== Current Influence ==

With involvement in nearly every industry - from defense and cybernetics to bioengineering - Weston-Yamada's influence spans across all facets of life. Their relentless pursuit of technological advancements has made them a powerhouse that impacts governments, corporations, and private lives alike. Despite facing criticism for its dominant partnership with the [[United Nations]], Weston-Yamada continues to push the boundaries of innovation, focusing on research in advanced AI, terraforming, and biotechnological developments. However, it’s clear that their ultimate goal remains maximizing profit, regardless of the broader costs or ethical considerations.

== Departments & Divisions ==
Weston-Yamada is a massive Corporation, requiring efficient stratification of authority and delegating of tasks; as such, it is split into Divisions that control and operate different aspects of the Weston-Yamada Corporation, which is further subdivided into specialized Departments with expertise in specific fields or areas of business management. This list is not exhaustive.

* Bound by Marine Law and respects UNMC Command.
* Use your fax machine to report to Corporate HQ, request updates, or seek guidance.
* Handle survivors, correspondents, and Marines with paperwork.
== Weston-Yamada's PMCs ==
<center></center>
=== Overview ===
Weston-Yamada’s Private Military Contractors, often referred to as PMCs, is the Company’s elite fighting force operated by the Security Division’s PMC Dispatch Department. They are often tasked with securing, protecting, and enforcing company interests utilizing force. PMCs are equipped with both the skills and the state-of-the-art equipment needed to perform their objectives, and are often seen performing a variety of different tasks, including corporate sabotage, suppressing civil unrest, and securing the safety of WEYA personnel.

Rarely, PMCs may be sent to respond to a distress signal originating from another vessel. When this occurs, they are expected to ensure the safety of the Liaison, follow their orders, and aid the marines. If the Liaison is unable to give orders, PMCs may follow the recommendations of the Officer in Command to assist the marines.
=== Equipment ===

Weston-Yamada is a massive corporation, and its mercenaries are equipped to reflect that. While their gear may not be the most advanced in the galaxy, it’s certainly a cut above what your average [[Marines|UNMC company]] would carry.

== Weston-Yamada's PMC Commandos ==
[[File:Commando_Standard.png|center|frameless|128x128px]]
<div style="text-align:center; margin-top:-10px;">
=== '''Commando Standard''' ===
</div>

=== Overview ===
Weston-Yamada’s Commandos are highly-skilled teams of spec-ops operatives. Often hand-picked from PMCs and Internal Security teams, although some originate from other special forces groups, they are chosen for their loyalty, discretion, and professionalism. They report directly to the Weston-Yamada Directorate, rather than the Security Division, ensuring that the interests of the Company & Shareholders are prioritized.

Their operations are typically highly dangerous or covert, such as corporate sabotage, specimen containment, internal investigations, and incident prevention, as well as situations too secretive for regular PMCs to be deployed . Despite their power equipment and strong armour, Commandos are usually sent when a specific operation requires a substantial level of secrecy, and are expected to be quiet, precise, and fast. Sometimes a team of Commandos will be deployed to protect high-value targets or colonies, especially in the wake of potential sabotage by the [[Colony Liberation Front (CLF)|CLF]], [[Vanguard Arrow Incorporated|rival corporations]], or other groups.

== Whiteout ==

=== Overview ===
'''I'''nformally known as '''Whiteout''' due to their signature white armor, are a specialized paramilitary force engineered by Weston Yamada's High Command. Each commando is a reengineered and reprogrammed Generation 1 synthetic, specifically redesigned for high-stakes combat, urban warfare, and high-priority target elimination.

Unlike standard synthetics, Commandos are endowed with sophisticated tactical programming, advanced sensory arrays, and the experimental exoskeleton armor. This armor is capable of withstanding extreme environments, from zero-gravity to toxic atmospheres, and enduring even direct fire from mortars or rocket launchers. Each unit operates autonomously in combat but is programmed with absolute loyalty to the Company.

Due to the hyper-classified nature of the program and questionable ethics relating to [[Interstellar Life Rights Council#The Stellar Accords|The Stellar Accords]], only the highest echelons within Weston Yamada know of their existence.[[File:Whiteout_Standard.png|center|frameless|128x128px]]

== ARES ==
<center>[[File:ARES_v3.2_gif.gif|center|frameless|'''Artificial Risk Evaluation System''']]</center><center>'''Artificial Risk Evaluation System'''</center>The '''Artificial Risk Evaluation System''', more commonly referred to by its acronym '''ARES''', is a [[Weston-Yamada]] ARES-series artificial intelligence computer mainframe installed on the '''UNS Almayer'''. ARES was the central artificial intelligence that monitored and provided guidance for all the [[Novaris Industries#Average Joe|Novaris Average Joe]] synthetics on '''UNS Almayer'''. ARES also oversaw all communications on the ship and controlled its communications array as well as most if not all of the ship's systems.

=== History ===
Following several devastating Xenonid outbreaks on a remote space station, Weston Yamada acquired the HERMES AI mainframe from [[Novaris Industries]] in an effort to improve containment protocols and ensure better synthetic oversight. HERMES had originally been designed as a station management system, However, its core programming was later repurposed as the foundation for the Artificial Risk Evaluation System, Despite extensive modifications, remnants of HERMES's original subroutines persist within ARES, leading the ship's Average Joe synthetics to still recognize and respond to legacy HERMES protocols. This integration allowed for a smoother transition between systems while preserving the AI’s ability to manage both routine functions and emergency scenarios efficiently.

ARES was installed aboard the Almayer during its construction and has been in service ever since. It resides within a highly fortified AI core, a restricted zone aboard the ship. This restriction is enforced by Military Police personnel and, if necessary, by Average Joes and ARES itself through the deployment of nerve gas and sentry machine guns.

=== AI Core ===
The AI Core is the location where the ARES AI mainframe is located. It's one of the most secure locations aboard the Almayer, Access to the AI core is strictly by appointment only. Unrestricted entry is granted only to Average Joes, AI Support Technicians, the ship’s Commanding Officer, the ship’s Synthetic(s), and the Chief Engineer, who do not require prior authorization.

The AI Core houses the ship's most critical systems and subsystems. Losing the AI core and the systems it controls could result in the loss of the ship itself, as well as the loss of telecommunications, rendering radio headsets useless.

Violating the access restrictions will result in nearby Average Joes swarming and asking you to leave, ignoring their warnings will result in them using force to remove you from the core.

Three Suns Empire

<b style="font-size: 18px;">Incomplete Lore</b><br>
The current lore for this faction is still being developed. Details are subject to change and do not reflect the final version.
</div>
''[[File:TSE_Emblem.png|center|frameless|360x360px]]''<center>'''<big><big><big>THE THREE SUNS EMPIRE</big></big></big>'''</center>

The Three Suns Empire emerged as a federation uniting British and Japanese empires. Shortly after its formation, the [[Weston-Yamada|Japanese Yamada Corporation merged with the British Weston Corporation]], cementing the TSE's role as the leading economic power.

Originally consisting of British, Japanese, India, Indonesia, and Australian governments, the people of TSE progressively gave up or sold their control of territories to the [[United Nations]], shifting their focus to prioritizing technological and space exploration development. During their expansion into space, they found many planets consisting of valuable resources, further increasing their status as the leading economic power in space.

The Three Suns empire is a major Interstellar Nation in the Galaxy. Being one of the first nations to form [[United Nations#Pre-Exodus|post-exodus]], It would originally form from nationals from The United Kingdom, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and several other nations. The empire maintains a position as the leading economic power, primarily due to their mutual relationship with [[Weston-Yamada]], which is incorporated in its territory

== Government ==
In terms of government, the Three Suns empire is a hereditary constitutional monarchy, with the emperor (or empress) holding a notable, but often unused role in governance. Imperial authority is not often invoked spare for national crises, with most of the day-to-day governance going through the Imperial Parliament. Shadowing over the empire is the ever present '''[[Three Suns Empire#Royal Crown Marines|Royal Crown Marines]]''', tasked with first and foremost, the defense of the throne, and by extension the people of the empire.

The empire, like the other major powers has a strong divide between its core territories, and external colonies. “'''Crown territories'''” which often will have royal titles, such as “'''Kingdom'''”, “'''Duchy'''” or “'''County'''” are allotted full representation within the parliament, and often possess their own local assemblies, Meanwhile, further colonies may be granted “Prefecture rights”, Granting them domestic assemblies and governors, but limited representation in the capital, Finally, colony territories often have little, to no representation in local, or national scale. Colonies are often subject to corporate authority, and the crown’s distance gives room for decay in these far flung regions. This power imbalance within the empire has been a source of unrest throughout the empire, and has led to the development of insurgencies, such as several [[Colony Liberation Front (CLF)|CLF]] cells, in more far flung territories of the empire.

== Formation of the TSE ==

=== Pre-Exodus ===
The seeds for the empire would be planted on Earth. The former governments of Japan, and Britain would engage in deeper cooperation amidst geopolitical threats, eventually leading to the precursor “'''Imperial Federation'''”. This federation would slowly expand its membership, until deciding to abandon earth and establish governance elsewhere given the sheer devastation of the planet.

=== Post-Exodus ===
After the exodus, the '''Imperial Federation''' would sign a new governing charter, granting a new name based on a visual phenomenon, and lifting the current dynastic line to the throne. The Empire would initially find itself in turmoil given the dramatic shift caused by the exodus, leading to several years of military governance by the '''[[Three Suns Empire#Royal Crown Marines|RCM]]''', which only concluded after imperial intervention, and establishment of the parliament.

== Current day ==
The Empire in its current state is a state of contradictions. It is egalitarian, but its colonies are not represented. It is a state proud of its democratic institutions, but one where the [[Three Suns Empire#Royal Crown Marines|RCM]] holds a paranoid eye over the government. These markers of dissonance, as well as many more, put the empire at an impasse, with the future uncertain and boundless in potential, the empire of eternal light looks to the stars determined to not be relegated to the dustbin of history.

== Ideology ==
Ideologically, the [[Three Suns Empire|Three Sun Empire]] is diverse depending on what region you visit, but they more often than not are unified through loyalty to the throne with some ascribing even divine authority to the monarchy, though this is on the fringe. A tendency towards anti-communism is also present through the empire, with the [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|SPP]] being seen as an imminent threat to their ideology, leading to border tensions between the two nations. In terms of domestic governance, many politicians will market themselves as “Technocrats” focusing on continual economic stability, growth, and rapid expansion through the stars be it via [[Weston-Yamada|WE-YA]] backed colonies or imperial mandates. Unlike the [[United Nations]], with its member civilizations being more equal, the '''TSE''' will often subsume, and absorb less significant interstellar civilizations through economic domination, or strategic soft-power campaigns such as disseminating pro-imperial media.

== Foreign relations: ==

=== United Nations ===
The Empire maintains amicable relations with the UN, holding several cooperation agreements in cultural, economic, and military affairs. Despite this however, there is a persistent tension within the alliance, with the UN fearful of TSE subversion through their economic power, and the empire fearful of the UN destabilizing their colonies should they grow too close, or offer an enticing alternative. For now though, the two giants dance on eggshells, hoping either side won’t break the peace and usher total devastation between the two powers.

=== Socialist Progressive Peoples ===
The SPP and the TSE are in a state of mutual loathing. With the SPP decrying them as imperialists, and the TSE routinely speaking of totalitarianism, amicable agreements between the two are unlikely. On the frontier, their forces occasionally butt heads, but both sides know a full blown conflict would bring about inconceivable destruction, keeping either from rocking the boat so hard as to drown them both. Both sides find outlets for their rage in funding insurgency groups within each other's borders. Each and every day, it feels like this cold war is getting hotter and hotter.

=== Colony Liberation Front ===
The CLF is a persistent thorn within the empire’s side, being a frequent nuisance on the frontier and one of the more imminent threats to imperial authority. These cells are unrelenting in their campaigns, slowly chipping away at the crown’s power. In recent years, the empire has cooperated with the UN to work to quash these cells, though their insurgency shows no signs of slowing down no matter how many bombs they drop.

== Royal Crown Marines ==
The TSE's main military force are the '''Royal Crown Marines'''.

== Law Enforcement ==
The Three Suns Empire Policing Authority, colloquially referred to as the TSEPA, is the law enforcement for the Three Suns Empire. Headed by the Chief Constable, they are strung out throughout the territories of the TSE administering the Crown's laws wherever they are found. Their precincts being a symbol of justice with an Inspector at the helm, from which the countless dedicated constables of the TSEPA continues to keep the peace of throughout the TSE.

Weston-Yamada

SharkSnake: Changed overview for PMCs

''[[File:WEYA-Emblem.png|center|frameless|360x360px]]''<center>'''<big><big><big>THE FUTURE IS NOW</big></big></big>'''</center>

Weston-Yamada is one of the wealthiest and most influential corporations in known space. It is recognized for its relentless pursuit of profit through cutting-edge technology, space exploration, bioengineering, and defense manufacturing. Formed from the merger of the Japanese Yamada Corporation and British Weston Corporation, Weston-Yamada is now the largest corporate monopoly and is embedded in nearly every industry.

== Early History ==

The roots of the Weston-Yamada Corporation can be traced to the ambitious endeavors of the Weston Corporation in Britain and Yamada Corporation in Japan. Weston Corporation was renowned for its robotics, defense technologies, and artificial intelligence breakthroughs. Founded by industrial magnate '''Alexander Weston''', the company initially focused on military contracts and became a leader in producing advanced android models and automated weaponry, pivotal in shaping future warfare.

Meanwhile, Yamada Corporation, founded by visionary entrepreneur '''Ryuichi Yamada''', was at the forefront of bioengineering, biotechnology, and logistics. The company became instrumental in developing efficient methods of space colonization, notably launching successful lunar settlements and establishing the groundwork for interstellar logistics. The Yamada Corporation’s expertise in biological research also contributed to medical advances, notably its work on regenerating synthetic tissue and enhancing humans' adaptability to space colonization.

As both companies thrived, it became evident that a partnership would be mutually advantageous. Weston’s advancements in cybernetics and defense complemented Yamada’s expertise in biotechnological applications and space operations. Following negotiations driven by market demands and emerging economic opportunities, the two companies agreed on a merger, forming Weston-Yamada.

The newly merged corporation sought to dominate multiple sectors by integrating its core strengths. The synergy between robotics, biological engineering, and defense technology enabled Weston-Yamada to expand into new markets, from space exploration to terraforming and planetary colonization. Their early ventures into creating advanced androids, space-ready habitats, and biological solutions for extraterrestrial environments soon positioned Weston-Yamada as a dominant player in known space. The company's reputation as a pioneer in innovation became the foundation upon which its monopoly status was built.

The merger marked the beginning of Weston-Yamada’s ambitions to establish a corporate monopoly, pushing the boundaries of technological advancement while embedding itself into almost every aspect of industry and human life. Today, the legacy of Weston and Yamada's early ambitions remains evident in the corporation’s operations, driven by an insatiable quest for profit, discovery, and expansion.

== The Merger ==

The merger between Weston Corporation and Yamada Corporation was a calculated, strategic move. It came at a time when both companies had already reached significant heights in their respective fields - robotics, defense, biotechnology, and space exploration. In the face of increased competition and the emerging demands of interstellar colonization, both entities saw value in pooling their resources. The merger wasn't merely a business union; it was a fusion of expertise, vision, and ambition that aimed to create the largest and most influential corporate monopoly known.

The unification was also driven by economic and political pressures - globalization had accelerated corporate consolidation as the race for influence over space technologies and extraterrestrial resources intensified. Weston Corporation brought its advanced android production capabilities and military connections, while Yamada Corporation introduced bioengineering innovations and its experience in logistics and space settlement. By integrating their strengths, Weston-Yamada rapidly ascended to monopolize sectors like planetary development, defense, bioengineering, and logistics.

The merger transformed both companies, enabling them to exert control over space infrastructure, exploit opportunities for profit from resource-rich worlds, and influence policy on an interstellar scale. The partnership provided the financial and technological muscle to become embedded within nearly every industry. As the foremost supplier to the United Nations, Weston-Yamada secured lucrative contracts that allowed it to influence politics and even military strategies, giving the corporation a formidable hold over humanity’s expansion into the stars.

== Partnership with the United Nations ==

The partnership between Weston-Yamada and the [[United Nations]] is one of mutual necessity, yet often fraught with tension. Weston-Yamada provides essential technological advancements, research, defense manufacturing, and logistical support that the UN relies on heavily, which gives the corporation substantial leverage over policy and decision-making. In return, the UN benefits from Weston-Yamada's innovation in sectors like space infrastructure, bioengineering, and advanced weaponry.

This interdependence allows Weston-Yamada to operate with relative freedom, often embedding corporate personnel in military operations under the guise of support and advisory roles. The [[Marines|United Nations Marine Corps]] (UNMC) frequently has Weston-Yamada representatives, like the Corporate Liaison, onboard to "support operations." However, the real mission of these representatives often extends to intelligence-gathering, ensuring that military decisions favor corporate interests.

The partnership, though beneficial to both entities, is contentious among many in the UN and military. Critics argue that Weston-Yamada's motives prioritize profit over the safety of colonies or the overall mission of the United Nations, citing instances of corporate-directed experiments and covert influence on Marine deployments. Nonetheless, the corporation's influence is difficult to counter given its economic and technological power, effectively embedding Weston-Yamada in nearly every aspect of the UN's interstellar presence.

This relationship also led to joint initiatives, such as the development of the [[Species#Artificial Womb Soldier Program|Artificial Womb Soldier Program]], where Weston-Yamada's bioengineering resources helped boost the military's capacity. However, even in such ventures, the emphasis remained on maximizing profit for Weston-Yamada while fulfilling their obligations to the UN. The UN gains access to cutting-edge technology, but remains in a precarious position of dependency.

== Research and Development ==

Weston-Yamada's commitment to cutting-edge research and development extends across numerous domains, from bioengineering to military technology. The corporation places a particular focus on studying extraterrestrial lifeforms, specifically the [[Xenonids|Xenonid]] species, due to their potential for high-value applications in both defense and bioengineering. Driven by an ambition to harness these creatures for military advantage, Weston-Yamada has conducted numerous field experiments, capturing and studying the lifeforms in secret. These experiments are often deemed dangerous, pushing ethical and safety boundaries in pursuit of technological supremacy.

Weston-Yamada's R&D initiatives also cover atmospheric processing, terraforming, and space exploration technologies, which are crucial in enabling resource extraction and sustaining colonization efforts. Their advances in synthetic biology, robotics, and weapon systems have positioned the company at the forefront of interstellar technological development. A major portion of these technologies are kept strictly proprietary, with Weston-Yamada tightly controlling access to the research data to maintain an advantage over competitors and strengthen its monopoly on key technologies.

== Corporate Liaison and Private Military Contractors ==

The influence of Weston-Yamada is visibly embodied in the presence of the Corporate Liaison on UNMC vessels. The Corporate Liaison ensures that the company’s interests are upheld, serving as an intermediary between Weston-Yamada and the [[Marines|United Nations Marine Corps]]. The Liaison’s role extends beyond the battlefield; they are involved in negotiations, post-operation assessments, and information control - ensuring that corporate interests are maintained in any engagement, from extraterrestrial research missions to disaster relief operations.

[[Weston Yamada's PMCs|Private Military Contractors]] (PMCs) deployed by Weston-Yamada act as a direct extension of its will and power. These PMCs are not limited to marine operations; they also provide security for high-value assets, participate in sensitive corporate missions, and serve as emergency responders during critical incidents. Depending on the situation, their objectives may diverge significantly from those of the [[United Nations]], and they are often involved in safeguarding Weston-Yamada's research, enforcing security on remote colonies, and conducting operations where discretion is key. Weston-Yamada PMCs are selected from among the most capable and experienced operatives, ensuring that they are able to execute complex missions independently while representing the corporation’s interests.

== Current Influence ==

With involvement in nearly every industry - from defense and cybernetics to bioengineering - Weston-Yamada's influence spans across all facets of life. Their relentless pursuit of technological advancements has made them a powerhouse that impacts governments, corporations, and private lives alike. Despite facing criticism for its dominant partnership with the [[United Nations]], Weston-Yamada continues to push the boundaries of innovation, focusing on research in advanced AI, terraforming, and biotechnological developments. However, it’s clear that their ultimate goal remains maximizing profit, regardless of the broader costs or ethical considerations.

== Departments & Divisions ==
Weston-Yamada is a massive Corporation, requiring efficient stratification of authority and delegating of tasks; as such, it is split into Divisions that control and operate different aspects of the Weston-Yamada Corporation, which is further subdivided into specialized Departments with expertise in specific fields or areas of business management. This list is not exhaustive.

=== Security Division ===
The Security Division is tasked with ensuring the safety of Weston-Yamada Personnel and assets, especially in an increasingly dangerous galaxy.

The ''PMC Dispatch'' Department handles the deployment, training and use of all [[Weston-Yamada#Weston-Yamada's PMCs|Weston-Yamada Paramilitary Operators]] under their paramilitary subsidiaries.

The ''Colonial Safety'' Department is responsible for ensuring the safety and order of Weston-Yamada operated colonies, serving as a de-facto police force on colonies with less of a CMB or TSEPA presence.

=== R&D Division ===
The R&D Division is tasked with the research, development, and testing of new products and equipment. As it has a broad purview, R&D has a substantial number of Departments specializing into different fields.

The '''Medical Research Department''' is focused on innovating state-of-the-art medical tools, technologies, and medication.

The '''Weapons Development Department''' is tasked with designing cutting-edge lethal weaponry, ranging from explosives and guns to flamethrowers and toxins. Much of their weaponry is supplied to the Security Division or sold on the market.

The '''Xenobiology Department''' handles the research of alien life-forms across the galaxy, as well as applying their properties for conventional usage or sale. Not to be confused with the Xenoarchaeology Department.

=== Communications Division ===
The Communications Division focuses on managing the relationships between the company and stakeholder groups.

The '''Corporate Relations Department''' is tasked with working between large governmental, corporate, and/or regulatory bodies to ensure smooth operations and cooperation. Corporate Liaisons aboard military vessels often belong to this Department.

=== Economics ===
The '''Economics Division''' are the people who manage the flow of money within the Company. From accounting to allocating budget, they make sure that cash goes to where it needs to be, reports are sent to superiors, and audits are performed without issues.

Part of a private military team directed by Weston-Yamada's PMC Dispatch Department, they are usually called to ensure the safety of the [[Weston-Yamada#Corporate Liaison|Corporate Liaison]].

=== Overview ===
Weston-Yamada’s Private Military Contractors, often referred to as PMCs, is the Company’s elite fighting force operated by the Security Division’s PMC Dispatch Department. They are often tasked with securing, protecting, and enforcing company interests utilizing force. PMCs are equipped with both the skills and the state-of-the-art equipment needed to perform their objectives, and are often seen performing a variety of different tasks, including corporate sabotage, suppressing civil unrest, and securing the safety of WEYA personnel.

Rarely, PMCs may be sent to respond to a distress signal originating from another vessel. When this occurs, they are expected to ensure the safety of the Liaison, follow their orders, and aid the marines. If the Liaison is unable to give orders, PMCs may follow the recommendations of the Officer in Command to assist the marines.

== ARES ==
<center>[[File:ARES_v3.2_gif.gif|center|frameless|'''Artificial Risk Evaluation System''']]</center><center>'''Artificial Risk Evaluation System'''</center>The '''Artificial Risk Evaluation System''', more commonly referred to by its acronym '''ARES''', is a [[Weston-Yamada]] ARES-series artificial intelligence computer mainframe installed on the '''UNS Almayer'''. ARES was the central artificial intelligence that monitored and provided guidance for all the [[Novaris Industries#Average Joe|Novaris Average Joe]] synthetics on '''UNS Almayer'''. ARES also oversaw all communications on the ship and controlled its communications array as well as most if not all of the ship's systems.

=== History ===
Following several devastating Xenonid outbreaks on a remote space station, Weston Yamada acquired the HERMES AI mainframe from [[Novaris Industries]] in an effort to improve containment protocols and ensure better synthetic oversight. HERMES had originally been designed as a station management system, However, its core programming was later repurposed as the foundation for the Artificial Risk Evaluation System, Despite extensive modifications, remnants of HERMES's original subroutines persist within ARES, leading the ship's Average Joe synthetics to still recognize and respond to legacy HERMES protocols. This integration allowed for a smoother transition between systems while preserving the AI’s ability to manage both routine functions and emergency scenarios efficiently.

ARES was installed aboard the Almayer during its construction and has been in service ever since. It resides within a highly fortified AI core, a restricted zone aboard the ship. This restriction is enforced by Military Police personnel and, if necessary, by Average Joes and ARES itself through the deployment of nerve gas and sentry machine guns.

=== AI Core ===
The AI Core is the location where the ARES AI mainframe is located. It's one of the most secure locations aboard the Almayer, Access to the AI core is strictly by appointment only. Unrestricted entry is granted only to Average Joes, AI Support Technicians, the ship’s Commanding Officer, the ship’s Synthetic(s), and the Chief Engineer, who do not require prior authorization.

The AI Core houses the ship's most critical systems and subsystems. Losing the AI core and the systems it controls could result in the loss of the ship itself, as well as the loss of telecommunications, rendering radio headsets useless.

Violating the access restrictions will result in nearby Average Joes swarming and asking you to leave, ignoring their warnings will result in them using force to remove you from the core.

<blockquote><big>"Doesn’t matter if it’s [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|socialists]], [[Colony Liberation Front (CLF)|insurgents]], or [[Xenonids|nightmares that crawled out of hell]]—when the call comes, the UNMC answers. We don’t run. We don’t hide. We get the job done. We make sure there’s a [[United Nations|home]] to go back to."</big>
<br>— <small>Unnamed UNMC Gunnery Sergeant, Drill Instructor aboard O’Neill Station Military Academy.</small></blockquote>
The '''United Nations Marine Corps''' or simply just the '''Marines''' are one of the two main playable factions in the game, the other being the [[Xenonids]] and ultimately respond to the UNMC [[High Command]]. The UNMC is governed by the civilian government of the [[United Nations]], and regulated by the [[Provost Marshal Office|Provost Marshal Office.]] The UNMC was primarily assigned to the defense of the growing frontiers of the United Nations government.

It was not until after the [[Sol Campaign]], that the United Nations military and government made use of the UNMC as an offensive might, using it to wrest control of the frontier through force. Their Mars assets were shaken due to SPP proxy funding, and an ignited civil unrest that led to a full sized conflict costing thousands. This led to a belief for the UN that a similar fate would befall the colonies which were farther from the reach of the standard military. The belief quickly led to the rapid mobilization and armament of the UNMC, along with the adaption of unrestricted military doctrine on civilian colonies. The result caused the ignition of [[Operation Justice]].

Current day, the UNMC finds itself locked in a war on insurgency, with everyday seeing another colony on the frontiers go dark due to an unseen enemy, or another colony declaring itself independent and aligning itself with the loose conglomerate known as the [[Colony Liberation Front (CLF)|Colony Liberation Front]]. The situation only continues to grow worse with new enemies appearing daily and insufficient funding and manpower to meet the threat head-on.

The Halcyon Systems Corporation, usually referred to as Halcyon, is a large-scale technological production and research corporation with a focus on prosthetic limbs, arms design, and ship-part production. Its stake in the technological market has made it a rival of the [[Weston-Yamada|Weston-Yamada Corporation]], as has its collaboration with the [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|Socialist Progressive Peoples]].

== Early History ==
Halcyon began its life as Halcyon Advanced Technologies, a prosthetic R&D and Production company. It was formed by Joseph Moswue, a Batswana businessman and entrepreneur who orchestrated the mass-merger of several smaller tech companies; Joseph would be selected as CEO, and would expand outwards in a few years. The Corporation would steadily grow in size, and would eventually begin investing into the market of FTL drives, which were a new technology at the time. Halcyon would use these products to first become an international, and then an intergalactic corporation in a matter of years.

== Company Expansion ==
Eventually, Halcyon realized the potential in the production of other general spaceship parts, such as sensor modules, stealth systems, weaponry, and armour, among other products. Utilizing its solid monetary base established by its state-of-the-art prosthetics and FTL drives, it would slowly establish itself, producing ship parts utilized by other corporations and governments, including the SPP.

Ever quick on the movement of the market, Halcyon made moves towards an aggressive takeover of various electronic countermeasures corporations which had seen a sharp dip in stock price following the fallout of corruption charges by the [[Interstellar Commerce Bureau|ICB]]. Although analysts predicted a cheaper purchase due to incoming bankruptcy, Halcyon purchased the company to avoid potential acquisition by other rivals, such as Weston-Yamada.

== SPP Partnership ==
A few years of steady growth led to Halcyon establishing further outwards, and eventually began to consider forays into other markets and industries; when approached by the Socialist Progressive Peoples to develop and produce various new military technologies for their naval ships such as the Rompehielos class, Halcyon realized the potential for further investment into the SPP, and would begin to design weaponry intended for the nation.

In a desire to test-out their technological capabilities, Halcyon’s weapon’s developers would work with software designers to create proprietary systems capable of sending the specs for manufacture, design, and software to permitted manufacturing plants and machines while denying the use by unauthorized producers. Weapons made by this method would gain the "Type" designation, and see widespread use within the SPP's military. These investments would prove profitable and successful for both parties, resulting in the Socialist Progressive Peoples becoming a 5% investor in Halcyon, and gaining a seat on the Board of Shareholders.

== Current Day ==
Despite Halcyon’s working relationship with the SPP, the company still trades and does business with other organizations such as the [[United Nations|UN]] and [[Three Suns Empire|TSE]], although some technology remains firmly within the hands of the SPP. Furthermore, Halcyon has engaged in multiple joint ventures with other Corporations, such as the “SHIELD” series of helmets, built in collaboration with WEYA Medtech and Mining subsidiaries.

Recent rumors suggest that Halcyon may be working on developing a combat-based exoframe utilizing aspects of their prosthetic and ship-based technology, able to withstand not only conventional weaponry, but also hostile fauna such as [[Xenonids]]. Currently, these rumors are unproven.

A few years of steady growth led to Halcyon establishing further outwards, and eventually began to consider forays into other markets and industries; when approached by the Socialist Progressive Peoples to develop and produce various new military technologies for their naval ships such as the Rompehielos class, Halcyon realized the potential for further investment into the SPP, and would begin to design weaponry intended for the nation.

In a desire to test-out their technological capabilities, Halcyon’s weapon’s developers would work with software designers to create proprietary systems capable of sending the specs for manufacture, design, and software to permitted manufacturing plants and machines while denying the use by unauthorized producers. Weapons made by this method would gain the "Type" designation, and see widespread use within the SPP's military. These investments would prove profitable and successful for both parties, resulting in the Socialist Progressive Peoples becoming a 5% investor in Halcyon, and gaining a seat on the Board of Shareholders.

== Current Day ==
Despite Halcyon’s working relationship with the SPP, the company still trades and does business with other organizations such as the [[United Nations|UN]] and [[Three Suns Empire|TSE]], although some technology remains firmly within the hands of the SPP. Furthermore, Halcyon has engaged in multiple joint ventures with other Corporations, such as the “SHIELD” series of helmets, built in collaboration with Medtech and Tartarus Mining Corporation (A WEYA Subsidiary).

Recent rumors suggest that Halcyon may be working on developing a combat-based exoframe utilizing aspects of their prosthetic and ship-based technology, able to withstand not only conventional weaponry, but also hostile fauna such as [[Xenonids]]. Currently, these rumors are unproven.

SharkSnake: Expands on "Type" weapon lore

The Halcyon Systems Corporation, usually referred to as Halcyon, is a large-scale technological production and research corporation with a focus on prosthetic limbs, arms design, and ship-part production. Its stake in the technological market has made it a rival of the [[Weston-Yamada|Weston-Yamada Corporation]], as has its collaboration with the [[Socialist Progressive Peoples (SPP)|Socialist Progressive Peoples]].

== Early History ==
Halcyon began its life as Halcyon Advanced Technologies, a prosthetic R&D and Production company. It was formed by Joseph Moswue, a Batswana businessman and entrepreneur who orchestrated the mass-merger of several smaller tech companies; Joseph would be selected as CEO, and would expand outwards in a few years. The Corporation would steadily grow in size, and would eventually begin investing into the market of FTL drives, which were a new technology at the time. Halcyon would use these products to first become an international, and then an intergalactic corporation in the span of ten years.

== Company Expansion ==
Eventually, Halcyon realized the potential in the production of other general spaceship parts, such as sensor modules, stealth systems, weaponry, and armour, among other products. Utilizing its solid monetary base established by its state-of-the-art prosthetics and FTL drives, it would slowly establish itself, producing ship parts utilized by other corporations and governments, including the SPP.

Ever quick on the movement of the market, Halcyon made moves towards an aggressive takeover of various electronic countermeasures corporations which had seen a sharp dip in stock price following the fallout of corruption charges by the [[Colony Marshal Bureau (CMB)|ICB]]. Although analysts predicted a cheaper purchase due to incoming bankruptcy, Halcyon purchased the company to avoid potential acquisition by other rivals, such as Weston-Yamada.
