15 Intelligence, Data Mining, Info Brokerage (in general), Espionage

If you want to, you can collaborate with our world building by naming and detailing one or two megacorps.This step is optional. Also note that megacorps are not ubiquitous to our sector. In fact, all of their headquarters are located in Satton V and most other planetary systems usually have just a small subsidiary or no presence at all.

If you didn't understand one of those entries in the table or where an specific product or service fits, don't hesitate to ask here.
To create a megacorp, answer the following 3 questions in this thread:

1. What seat number does it occupies on the Corporate Concil in Satton V? As a consequence, you will know what are its main industries. See the table above for that. Do not repeat a seat number that was already taken by another player or the GM in this thread.

2. What's the name and general description of the megacorp?

The corporations that we define should be major players in our adventure, so you should create megacorps that focus on aspects of our setting that you want to see in our game. Don’t get too attached to the corporation you define, though. Sooner or later, they may try to kill you... Or worse.

3. Tell everyone about your PC's relationship with that corporation and why it's relevant for them. Were you a loyal customer? A disgrunted former employee? Did you do a job for them? Against them?

1. Seat number 3
2. The Interstellar Broadcast Network (IBN) traces its origins back to a visionary media mogul named Alexander Rhea, who saw the potential for a massive media empire in the new frontier of space. Rhea secured significant investments and resources to establish the IBN as a cutting-edge media and broadcasting corporation.

In the following years, the IBN rapidly expanded its influence by acquiring smaller media and entertainment companies across various habitats and planets. It leveraged advanced technology, including Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Experience Playback (XP), to captivate audiences across the sector. The IBN is known for its corporate culture of innovation and adaptation. It constantly pushes the boundaries of technology and content creation to stay at the forefront of its industries. It's comprised of 3 main divisions:

News Network: The IBN's news division is renowned for its journalistic integrity and widespread coverage of events, making it a trusted source of information. It utilizes advanced drones, Virtual Intelligence Reporters, and expert analysis to provide comprehensive news coverage.

Entertainment: The IBN's Entertainment division produces a wide range of immersive experiences, from action-packed XP thrillers to artful AR installations. Their content caters to the diverse tastes and preferences of the population of the whole Federation.

Memetics and Influence: The IBN has a powerful Memetics division focused on the creation and dissemination of memes, ideas, and cultural trends. They use cutting-edge psychological profiling and marketing techniques to shape public opinion and influence the society.
