Seeing that neither the UN or CPN were taking definitive actions to prevent this cataclysmic event, and believing both too incompetent to even notice the creeping doom in their race towards global conflict, Dr. Wolfe and other like minded individuals at high levels converged together to form a group to oppose both the UN and CPN in an effort to thwart the approaching armageddon. | ||
Working entirely as a clandestine fifth column group they pooled resources and began to an organized series of espionage, infiltration, and recruitment actions across both the UN and CPN controlled areas. Developing their own tech, research, and bases as escalations between the CPN and UN continued. Dr. Wolfe eventually realized as both the UN and CPN began to turn over global defense to AI that they could only delay what was coming with their actions, not prevent it, and decided to launch a new plan with tech they had developed: if they could not stop the war, they would outlive it. Recalling all Section One operatives to a network of black site facilities they intended to take advantage of prototype engramatic tech to store the consciousnesses of Section One operatives, backed up and saved within massive storage facilities needed to house these primitive proto-engrams, by the time the Transcendence War had erupted in full earnest the upper echelons of Section One were successfully stored. However... with the titanic scale of devastation wrought upon Earth over the course of the Transcendence War and seven decades of orbital nuclear bombardment from the Satellite Defense Network across the planet, many of these engram storage facilities were irreparably damaged, leading to countless Section One engrams being permanently lost. In the long aftermath following the end of the Transcendence War, Section One's plans to outlive the cataclysm were for naught as no groups tasked with living and reproducing within the facilities in order to recall those stored when the horror had passed were still alive to throw the switches to make that happen, and Section One's remaining bases became tombs. | |||
Later in the 2400s one of these facilities would be discovered in a joint venture between ARES, Armitech, Matsumoto, and NSI. Exploring the facilities they would discover the engram tech facilities and find that Dr. Wolfe himself was stored in the facility. Spinning his engram up in virtual they would learn his plans, strategies, and technologies and deciding that they would continue the next stage of Section One's original plan they elected to reform Section One between the four of them, promising that once the four corps were established and a new society had been effectively enacted for the Sol System they would bring back Dr. Wolfe and continue the next stage of Section One's plan for humanity. | |||
As the four megacorps would consolidate their power and eventually help install New Geneva to be the figurehead of that new society. Dr. Wolfe's planned resurrection following this would never come to pass as Adam Caine (ARES), doubting that Dr. Wolfe would be a reasonable and predictable individual in the modern age, consigned Dr. Wolfe's engram to oblivion with its destruction. Caine later would meet an untimely end at Olympus Mons at the apex of the Martian War for Independence and in the years following his death Section One would appear once again defunct until 2494 when Adam Caine would reappear on the public stage, announcing the necessary faking of his death and the reconsolidation of Section One who would among their first acts dissolve New Geneva as having failed their purpose as humanity's steward. Section One now sits as the de facto authority for the Sol System. | |||

A.R.E.S is a megacorporation that deals in Artificial Intelligence, Cybertech, Nanotech, Weapons Development, and Military Contracts. They have seen success on Mars, Deimos, Phobos, Luna, Io, Europa, and a few space stations and floating cities. Their headquarters are located on Mars.

Armitech, an active weapons manufacturer from Neu Berlin, has been active since the 2430's. Born in their industrial sector, Armitech was just one more out of many weapon manufacturers that were just a bleep on Neu Berlin's industrial complex, until one of their engineers, Adelheid Stromm, found blueprints belonging to the weaponry used during the Transcendence War era, including prototype weaponry that was never released on the field. That, in addition to salvaged weapons and samples obtained from Earth, combined with current power cells and hydrogen batteries, with that knowledge in hand, Armitech focused entirely on energy weapons, assuring a highly destructive output from plasma and laser-based weapons at half the energy cost from their power cells.
Over the next ten years, Armitech would expand aggressively on Neu Berlin, the Dusseldorf Industrial Platform, and even Utopia. Rivaling with Matsumoto Zaibatsu, they would get involved in an Industrial Espionage scandal, when Harada Matsumoto, who had worked for Armitech, got close enough to the corporation to embezzle and negotiate deals that would take assets and profits from Armitech and would catapult Matsumoto Zaibatsu into the Megacorporation Status.
Meanwhile, the humble engineer that was responsible for the change in Armitech's status, Adelheid Stromm, had climbed the corporate ladder and became the new CEO, after ten years of preparation.
Today, Armitech reigns as one of the most important Euro-based Megacorporations that produce, manufacture, and distribute weaponry and cyber tech to both Security Corporations and Military Corporations.

The prestigious Matsumoto Zaibatsu is a New-Edo based megacorporation dealing in corporate security, cyberwar, and weapon manufacturing. Started in 2435 by Kei Matsumoto as a small organization that dealt with cybertech repairs. By 2437, Matsuda would start producing its own line of cyber tech and cybernetics in general (Optics, Neural Implants Surveillance, and Security systems, et cetera), Kei Matsumoto's philosophy would drive himself to work harder than his competitors and hoped to inspire others by his devotion. Matsumoto would play to win. In mid-2440's, Matsumoto would give a leap of faith and attempt their hand in nanotech, however, the still humble organization lacked the proper personnel and means to maintain nanotech afloat and suffered their first blow, that, added to other companies rising up and even catching up with them, forced Kei Matsumoto to consider other methods, in his mind, he had to win at all costs and one more failure wasn't an option.
Kei Matsumoto was always trying to keep ahead of the game and had a small network of spies, through this network, he caught wind that Armitech was salvaging working technology from Earth, the mythical Transcendence War-era tech could be a game-changer if done right, his son, Harada Matsumoto, would eventually work for Armitech and climb the corporate ladder until reaching a middle management position, not high enough to get him noticed, but high enough to get access to the secrets his father and his company desperately needed, the information Harada Matsumoto would obtain resulted in one of the biggest Corporate Espionage scandals in history, as Armitech and Matsumoto would face each other in Corporate Law Courthouses for several months until the case was handled privately and settled. However, the constant pressure would prove too much for Kei Matsumoto, and he would pass away due to cardiac complications, allowing for Harada Matsumoto to assume control of the corporation, and renaming it Matsumoto Zaibatsu, to reflect its new status.
With what Harada Matsumoto considered a victory over Armitech, his new vision was to also control Security Corporations in New Edo, putting himself at odds against Rising Sun Technologies, a Corporate Security Corporation that was rumored to be financed by the Asakura Gumi, a powerful criminal syndicate led by Asakura Shinnosuke. Eventually, Matsumoto Zaibatsu and Rising Sun Technologies would agree on territory distribution, as well as weaponry distribution from Matsumoto Zaibatsu. Today, the corporation remains an important weapons manufacturer and is one of the main pillars that sustain New Edo, with shady practices and even shadier management.
