Cyberpunk 2077 Lore – Raven Microcybernetics!
Raven Microcybernetics better known as RMC are one of the best American manufacturers of Cyberware, wetware and cybernetic electronics. They are on the cutting edge of technology and pride themselves on their quality control. Public image wise, they are known for their “shelf presence” when it comes to high quality cyberware, full body conversions, electronics, netware and ACPA components.
RMC is tightly tied to the mind behind it, Dr Corvus Crow, and policies as well as products mirror Crowes own personality. Oddly enough when RMC stock goes does, so does Crowes own health a testament to their interconnectedness.
Corvus Crowe found a name for himself amidst the chaos of the Wasting plague, the food crash, the 2nd central American conflict as well as the first and second corporate wars of the 21st century. He completed his doctorate at 19 and spent his early 20s working under Janice Grubb as a Software Engineer for Kenjiri technologies, when they were developing some of the first net interface algorithms. Judging by some of the products they produced during this time, Raven were on the cutting edge on how we perceive the net.
Soon after however Crowe left to found BioDyne Systems and Kenjiri ended up becoming one of the driving forces of Kiroshi Optics.
BioDyne systems was known as the corporation credited with creating the first viable cyberlimbs. In 2009 however, BioDyne systems was going bankrupt and Raven Micro cybernetics, one of the investment holdings, was declared an official corporate entity.
Raven Microcybernetics is not a well-liked company in the US in the 2020s as they are seen as a threat. Orbital Air is the most powerful corporate ally RMC has, and their large investment in space has ensured this support. This has led to the co-development of the Warrior and Crusaders ACPA Chassis. RMC is also friendly with Tsunami Arms, who provides the small arms that Raven needs.
Raven is headquartered in the Corporate Center of Night City, but their manufacturing plants are scattered throughout the globe. They own 3 orbital work shacks and rely on Orbital Air for space Transport. Ravens online data fortresses are represented by a cybernetic arm rising out of a grid, with a black raven with glowing eyes perched upon the hand. Their Dataforts are secured by black programs and 24-hour sysop guards.
