The Fall of Aztechnology

Down One AAA Megacorp
In the Autumn of 2083, in Seattle, Washington, Aztechnology attempted to launch a nuclear strike against the still young Cydent Corp. This was very soon after a recent raid on Double Jack's hideout, which resulted in the loss of two good deckers: Tetratron and Hans Yeoman (Aka the Black Knight). Wielding the power of Metal Gear Rex, which had escaped the raid thanks to the quick thinking of Killabyte, Double Jack latched onto the nuke as it launched, having been unable to stop it in time. Soaring through the atmosphere, DJ jacked into the nuke after rerouting the power from Rex through his cyberdeck. The nuke was rerouted to Aztlan where Aztechnology's headquarters sat, with Double Jack dying in the process. The destruction wrought by this attack crippled both their chain of command and their flow of income, forcing them to retreat and liquidate almost all of their external assets. The other mega-corporations revoked Aztechnology's extraterritorial status as a business soon after, effectively removing a source of competition. Since then, the district once held by Aztechnology has been in a constant state of shadow dealings and has become effectively a zone where a cold war between the other megas (and Cydent Sphere) wages in order to seize control.

Not Just Double Jack
Even though the nuke itself was rerouted thanks to the efforts of DJ, it was a conglomeration of allies that truly led to him being able to do what he did. The rest of DJ's decking crew, along with Willy Stax, Salbert, Ch'Tharris, an adhoc alliance from the Desolation Angels, as well as Zero, Doc Gray, 8-Ways, some members from Syrus, as well as many others, attacked the stronghold of Aztechnology, barely managing to escape after Double Jack launched into space.
