Seed Corporation

An Addition to the Big Ten
Back in the year 2071, another triple A mega-corp took the stage, simply called Seed Corp. They, much like every other mega had their slimy hands in everything, but their specialty was weapons that were not firearms. This gave them an edge over Ares in that they produced more melee weapons and implants. They were eventually destroyed, and the Big Eleven returned to the normal Ten.

Their headquarters was located near the middle of Vladivostok, Russia, but it was utterly destroyed after being brought down by a join attack between the Yakuza, the Triads, and the runners listed in the next section.

An Even Darker Side
In 2075, Seed Corp tried its hand at something that was almost catastrophic. They created and deployed a nano-phage known as the Grey Death which caused victims to exhibit similar symptoms to HMHVV when one turns into a ghoul. Hair falls out, skin turns grey, and eventually the victim dies of a whooping cough and the melting of their internal organs.

On top of all that, they also employed several of the corrupted head council of the Yakuza, which threw much of the world out of balance. Seed was eventually taken down systematically by the heroic efforts of Yoshi-Ono, Kevin Guarzano, Zelus, Big Tom, Marco, and others. The nano-phage information was also eventually destroyed. Products created by Seed Corp still in circulation have its users shunned by those who are in the know, but are pretty fucking cheap.
