Las Vegas In SPACE! The Crystal Palace (Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty Lore!)
Many have heard of the Crystal Palace, yet so few have even set foot inside. Why you may ask? Because the Crystal Palace is reserved for the 1%. The richest, most influential, most powerful not only in Night City but in the entire world. This gigantic space station boasts everything from casinos, to restaurants, to low gravity pools and luxury apartments with panoramic views of Earth. This city in the sky is sponsored by the one and only Orbital Air, which shuttles the wealthy to this jewel nested between the Earth and Moon.

Cyberpunk 2077 Lore – Orbital Air!
Orbital Air is a Megacorporation based out of Nairobi, Kenya that specializes in cargo and passenger transport to lower earth orbit. They have a very favorable position in the world of Cyberpunk in the 21st century.
Advancements in their French-made Hermes space planes has allowed Orbital Air to demand a massive market share within their niche, and they monopolize almost all of the orbital lifting capacity, with the exception of a few governments.
Corporations rely on Orbital Air services to transport cargo worldwide. If it wasn’t for Orbital Air, the Euro Space Agencies Crystal Tower, a massive orbital hotel complex for the ultra-rich would go out of business. With all commercial space bound cargo dependent on Orbital Air, OA has asserted outer worldly dominance during this time.
Large chunks of their budget go towards keeping Orbital Air ahead of their competition like China when it comes to orbital tech. With the Euro-flight Corporation also expanding its services to LEO, there is even more reason to double down on tech.
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.
Employees enjoy competitive pay, Trauma Team Coverage, dental plans, health insurance amongst a myriad of other perks. Employees dress in black or grey with small accents of white red or gold.
In 2077 content, we know that the Flathead is controller by an RMC system after Pawel Sasko mentions it in the Deep Dive Q&A.
Cyberpunk 2077 – 15 CRAZIEST Cyberware From Cyberpunk Lore!
There are some TRULY crazy Cyberware in the Cyberpunk 2020 lore that have the potential to be seen in Cyberpunk 2077. Today we will be listing off 15 of the craziest, zaniest pieces of Cyberware in the lore and showcase how they impact your character in the world of Cyberpunk and Night City!
Cyberpunk 2077 News – NEW City Image & Mike Pondsmith Talks Cyberpunk 2077, Red & 2020!
A NEW image of Night City associated with a spin off Cyberpunk 2077 product, a podcast featuring Mike Pondsmith and what he has to say about Cyberpunk Red, the future of 2077, Robin Williams, The Bozos a New Chromebook and more in today’s Cyberpunk 2077 News Episode!
First let’s jump into some images CD PROJEKT RED &RTalsorian shared to celebrate to new year and the dark future of 2020. Time has caught up with the original Cyberpunk 2020 source material and thus the Countdown to The Dark future has finished, and RTalsorian has shared this picture on their socials! We don’t have biomons and braindances but atleast we have Cyberpunk 2077 coming out soon. CD PROJEKT RED also shared this image of the sourcematerial to usher in 2020 as well as this really cool image featuring what is likely V or a mercenary on the Yaiba Kusanagi. This very Akira or Dredd styled illustration, shared by CD PROJEKT RED Japan.
Moving on we have news that Cyberpunk 2077 will get even more collectible figurines from Sideshow on top of the ones we discussed about in last episode coming from both McFarlane and Totaku. There’s no teaser images of the actual figurines, but we get do get something more interesting for those more focused on the video game, and that is the cityscape in the background. This is very likely official art, as these are officially licensed collectibles, and there is the CD PROJEKT RED logo on the bottom right. I know there;s been a lot of chatter over the size and scope of the map and discussions on if its too small or not wide enough, but I absolutely love the verticality and everything we’ve seen from all the city images so far. I cannot wait to ride the Metro all the way around, and explore all the floors. This image has a very striking skyline, and some really massive skyscrapers and megabuildings.
Next we have a fantastic podcast from BabyBeardMedia featuring Mike Pondsmith. I’ll go over some of the more stand out details, but I recommend you check out the link in the description and check out the podcast in it’s entirety.
When asked what typically starts a new Cyberpunk version, and how Red was initially conceptualized, Pondsmith mentions that at RTalsorian they treat the Cyberpunk Universe as an ongoing story. In comparison to a franchise like Star Wars, he mentions that the original star wars would be Cyberpunk 2013, Empire strikes back would be 2020, Red is a restart f the story line in some ways and that 2077 is more akin to Return of the Jedi.
Regarding what he starts to create first, Pondsmith mentions that the story typically serves the game systems of a table top RPG, but the systems created illiuminate the story. What people are doing in specific time periods, and how they are operating reflect into the systems.
Regarding any supplemental books for Cyberpunk Red, he also reveals Black Chrome, a chromebook that will feature in addition to all the cool technology and cyberware that is apparent in the OG chromebooks, how to use the new environment of Night City and the Cyberpunk world post bombing and post Red. It’s a time where oddly enough, food and shelter is expensive, yet technology is cheap.
Fun fact – Mike Pondsmith is actually an amateur paleontologist, and that he found out Robin Williams actually played the original Cyberpunk, when he left some of his sourcematerial books on the set of Good Will Hunting.
Cyberpunk Red will have new gangs and evolutions and Pondsmith mentions the Voodooboys of 2077 as having emigrated to Night City, andnhave ousted the former Voodooboys from 2020 for knocking off their culture.
He also seems to make reference to Bozos forming larger communities in Red, something that may trickle into 2077.
Mike mentions that in comparison to all other Cyberpunk works from the genre, he thinks the version explored in his work and with CD PROJEKT RED is more fun vs depressing and is a cyberpunk that hasn’t been done before.

Cyberpunk 2077 – ACPA & Power Armor Weapons! (Lore!)
Just like the actual flesh and bone Edgerunners and Cyberpunks in the world of Cyberpunk, ACPAs have a large variety of weapons too.
In Today’s Cyberpunk 2077 Lore video we will be talking more specifically about ACPA weapons and types and styles of weapons that are equippable on ACPAs.
Starting with melee weapons we have the heavy bladed weapons, including axes and swords which can not be wielded effectively by an unpowered human. Some carry these ACPA blades as a mark of distinction or honor, and these blades have the ability to penetrate hard and soft armors. The most common model of bladed weapons is the trooper sword, which sports a classic medieval crusader design. It weighs more than several times that of a normal sword but is still just as sharp as say a good combat knife.
Heavy blunt weapons are very similar but are made at a lower quality production and have less potential for armor piercing as its bladed counter-part weapons.
Large power saws which sport a powered disk or chain saw with very sharp hardened allow teeth and retractable mono swords which are lighter than trooper swords and retractable are also options for ACPAs looking to up their hand to hand and brawly combat potential.
Next, we have machine guns and heavy rifles, which have become the standard primary weapons in ACPA combat in 2020 and can wound a trooper in armor with a well-placed shot.
Most rifles can be enclosed on the arms, or external on the arms or torso as well as being two handed. For external or carrying options, you can also choose to protect it with armored pods or housing units.
The 12.7 mm HMG is a vehicular heavy machine gun, whilst the 13.9mm rifle is a rare rifle based on a .55 caliber anti-tank weapon used between the world wars called the Boys AT-Rifle.
The 14.5 mm KPV is a massive machine gun and one of the most devastating anti-ACPA weapons ever used. Featuring a high ROF, this weapon was the largest machine gun made by the Russians and originally mounted on vehicles.
The 12.7mm Gatling gun is a weapon usually mounted onto AVs and Helicopters whose multi-round penetration can drop most suits of powered armor.
The EMG-85 4mm Railgun has immense power requirements but cannot be matched in its penetration and firepower.
Experimental weapons are typically used in ACPAs due to the nature of their exotic design and functionality, and although Beam weapons are limited to primarily space use, there are a couple that function great on ACPAs.
A painting laser can be used to sport for laser-guided weaponry, which comes in handy for other units on the battlefield. We also have the Meta-Armson “Photon” Assault Cannon, the first combat laser weapon to see field use. Power is provided by a backpack superconductor battery and damage here can be varied by adjusting the amount of power used.
Next, we have scatter-packs which are light weight weapons which use explosive charges to fire an area-filling cone of ammo. These have tremendous recoil and the widths of these munition cones can vary from weapon to weapon. There are also special restrictions on firing scatter packs and firing one in a location not recognized in a militarized zone can lead to a suspension and investigation of the trooper or soldier behind it.
Some examples of scatter packs are the BRP battledress Ripple Flechette pack, which holds clusters of explosive charges in separate tunes which can be fired simultaneously in a 60 degree cone, BFCWA Flechetter Clouds, which fire needle projectiles in a wider cone, and the BIM Minelets volley, which sends a 60 degree cone of mini mines, to damage infantry unfortunate enough to walk over them.
Second to heavy rifles, ACPA- portable cannons are often used on the PA battlefield. The 20mm Rifle is the most common, but options like the 27-30 mm autocannon, the EMG-83 improved railgun, and the 75mm recoilless cannon are options here.
Rockets & missiles are the true heavy arms which are mainly strapped onto Aerial vehicles and helicopters and have extreme destructive capabilities perfect for full military operations. All these weapons require some sort of targeting capabilities. The IFAR is a folding fin aerial rocket and has been in use since the Korean conflict.
The Law 3 is an anti-tank system designed to punch through armor and is one of the more common types of rockets when it comes to power armor. The Light anti-tank guided missile is massively larger.

Cyberpunk 2077 – Organized Crime Lore! (Yakuza, Triads, Mafia, Organitskaya!)
In todays Cyberpunk 2077 and cyberpunk lore video we are talking about organized crime and crime organizations in the world of Cyberpunk and how they run their operations and underground activities in throughout the world.
Organized crime groups are disciplined groups of criminals who run criminal businesses and enterprises with the goal of control, power and notoriety. They can operate anywhere from locally all the way up to internationally. Groups can have members that are all part of the same ethnic group, region, clan, or they can also involve people from various groups. These organized crime conglomerates can be called syndicates, mobs, cartels, families, clans, mafias and so on.
The most powerful organized crime crime groups of the 21st century are the Chinese triads, the Japanese Yakuza, The Russian Organitskaya and the Italian Mafia. There are other crime syndicates including drugs lords of peru, Colombia and southeast asia amongs others.
Let’s look at the big 4 global criminal networks in the world of Cyberpunk as well as the organized crime within the Unites States of America.
Within the big 4 we first have the Chinese Triads. The triads originated in the 17th century and were founded by several monks who despite their loyalty to Manchu emperors were betrayed when their monastery was destroyed and their fellow monks were slaughtered by imperial forces. They vowed to overthrow corrupt regimes and established a secret anti-Manchu society.
In the Cyberpunk Era the triads benefited greatly through overseas expansion into Canada, the US and New Zealand, where their participation in a war led to them becoming allies of corporations based in Hong kong.
Triads vary greatly on how they are structured as some are loosely organized and some are a structured hierarchy. The dragonheads which are the triad leaders usually lead a low key low profile life where they run a small business or restaurant to keep the façade of humility as they are running their operations in the shadows.
The triads are into a wide variety of criminal activities.
Within china there is a massie black market in weaponry, satellite dishes, cyberware, imported food and Japanese braindance, and they often dip into the vices of gambling and prostitution. They run smuggling operations, designer drugs manufacturing and house invasions amongst other things. In the United States the triads are the most brutal of organized crime groups, terrorizing or killing entire families as warnings to others. The big hitters of the Triads usually have cyber modifications and a wide variety of combat drugs to give them the edge in combat.
Next we have the Japanese Yakuza, a word which comes from Sammai Karuta a Japanese gambling game, in which getting 19 points is the ideal. Now I’m not sure if this is a mistake in the Wiki, but in real life the goal is to get 9 points. The worst hand is the cards of 8-9-3 pronounced ya-ku-sa hence the name.
The yakuza is spread globally in the same rate and scope as some of the most successful Japanese corporations. In the Yakuza, you choose two paths, death or prison.
The leader of a Yakuza clan is called the Oyabun who has his powere granted by the chief of the Osaka Clan. These chiefs are the alliance of Yakuza bosses overseeing worldwide Yakuza operations.
The Yakuza are into extensive body tattooing which is used to identify their clan affiliations.
Next we have the Organitskaya the Russian mafia from the new USSR. Organized crime is so deeply ingrained in the Soviet Union that law enforcement doesn’t take action unless mob wars break out.
The organitskaya are into smuggling and dealing weaponry, technology, food, aeroydynes, computers and western cyberware. The Organitskaya are not united and usually have internal conflict over control of military-grade weaponry.
In Russia the Organistkaya collect proctection money from 80% of the business in Russia, and have over 8000 syndicates with more than 180,000 members.
Next up we have the Mafia, an organized crime network of Italian origin in North America and Europe.
In Europe there is the Sicilian Mafia, The Neopolitan Camorra and the youngest faction the Nuovo Mafia. In the state of Italy, both the Sicilian Mafia and Camorra have become legitimate political parties.
The American Mafia’s origins trace back to the Sicilian clan-families known as the Coas Nostra. Due to the myth that the Mafia were non-existent, they were able to consolidate their power and adopt a cloak of secrecy.
The American Mafia is organized into families each of which owns a specific city. They are lead by a Capo or godfather who is always male, and his successor is always male. the mafia provides their community with services, goods and desperately needed loans.
Finally we have the sudams, who consist of Colombians and other south American drug cartels and their western offshoots.
