Neon City

The current year, 3077. 'Neon City'. A massive city spanning 36,000 km², formerly the capital of Chrome. Public safety is extremely unstable, with countless lives lost daily to crime and violence. In order to survive and compete, a social perception has taken root that equipping cyberware is essential. Despite the danger, it is seen as a land of opportunity where vast wealth and success are possible. Areas managed by corporations are safe and pleasant environments under corporate protection, accessible only to high-ranking corporate officials.

Corporations

Power in Neon City is dominated by three corporations: Omega, Vex, and Helix.

Omega (Corp O)

Omega is the most powerful corporation, controlling core industries such as security/police, finance, weapons, cyberware, and military equipment. They possess technological capabilities that overwhelm other companies. Corp O's district is located in the exact center of Neon City, anchored by the 'Omega Building,' a super-massive headquarters reaching 1,000m in height. The Omega Tower is a symbol of the company visible from anywhere in the city, protected by an overwhelming security system that is virtually impenetrable.

Vex (Corp V)

Vex is a corporation that mass-produces cyberware, weapons, and military equipment for the civilian market. While their technology is lower than Omega's, they supply products throughout Neon City based on superior productivity and price competitiveness.

Helix (Corp H)

Helix is a corporation developed around medical and biotechnology. They provide on-site emergency treatment for accidents or crimes to medical insurance subscribers. Due to high costs, it is difficult for the impoverished to access them.
