Founding and Key Figures

  • Dr. Corvis Crowe — A visionary scientist who survived the American Collapse of the 21st century by pivoting to advanced cybernetics. Cold, meticulous, and rumored to have undergone a Gemini Full Body Conversion himself, Crowe’s leadership defines RMC’s identity.

  • Board of Ravens — An inner circle of executives, each heavily augmented, operating like a shadow cabal rather than a traditional board. Every decision is made with secrecy and precision.

  • Allies: RMC has formed a lasting corporate bloc with Orbital Air and Helios Orbital, securing its foothold in space development and lunar security contracts.

Corporate Origins

RMC rose from the ashes of BioDyne Systems, which went bankrupt in 2009. Crowe seized its assets, research, and staff, rebranding under his new philosophy: cybernetics should not just enhance humans but replace their fragility.

By the time of the Fourth Corporate War, RMC had already become synonymous with covert cyberware and infiltration tech, supplying intelligence agencies, corpo black ops teams, and mercs across the globe. Their survival of countless market collapses and assassination attempts earned them the nickname:
“The Company That Refuses to Die.”

Products and Specializations

Cyberware

  • Gemini Full Body Conversion (FBC): The crown jewel. Unlike chrome monstrosities of other corps, Gemini bodies appear flawlessly human. Exoderm skin mimics pores, sweat, warmth—even micro-expressions. Each Gemini has a sub-processor core that automates small human-like quirks (blinking, fidgeting, shifting weight), ensuring even seasoned edgerunners can’t spot the machine underneath.

  • Specter Augmentations: Stealth cyberware suites including optic camouflage, heat-dampening layers, and bioelectric mufflers for silent infiltration.

  • Noir Line Neuralware: Optimized for netrunners—cyberdecks integrated directly into the nervous system, reducing lag to near zero.

Cyberdecks

  • Crowe-7 Deck: Military-grade netrunning deck with enhanced RAM pools, ICE-breakers built into firmware, and wide-range quickhack spread capacity.

  • Raven’s Wing OS: Proprietary operating system that allows cross-platform hacking, with trace-wipe subroutines that self-delete if intrusion fails.

2097 Standing

By 2097, RMC has become a shadow titan of the cybernetics industry:

  • Market Role: While Militech dominates military force and Arasaka (once) dominated personal security, RMC rules covert warfare. Assassins, infiltrators, spies, and netrunners all rely on their gear.

  • Selene Prime Influence: Through Helios Orbital contracts, RMC’s Gemini units are the elite enforcers of lunar aristocracy. Rumors say entire “Gemini Courts” exist on the Moon—perfect replicas of noble families, puppeted by RMC processors.

  • Night City Presence: Though not flashy, RMC maintains the Ghost Spire—a monolithic black skyscraper with no windows, only mirrored surfaces. It’s whispered the building itself is an AI testbed, watching every street in the district.

Corporate Culture

  • Dress Code: All-black, minimalist attire; sleek uniforms without insignia. Employees are nicknamed “Ravens.”

  • Security: Every Raven undergoes genetic binding to RMC systems—defection is impossible without cybernetic shutdown.

  • Ideology: RMC doesn’t sell “cyber-lifestyle” like others. They sell secrecy, survival, and silence. Their customers are governments, corpo black ops, and syndicates who need to disappear enemies without a trace.

Rivalries

  • Militech: Considers RMC “parasites” profiting off espionage. Militech brute force often fails against RMC’s ghost operatives.

  • Biotechnica: Bioware vs. chrome—Biotechnica sells genetic dreams, RMC sells cold, incorruptible machinery.

  • Kang Tao: Cheap knockoff cyberware undercuts RMC’s prices, but breaks down under pressure. RMC mocks Kang Tao as “toy guns.”

Reputation

  • Known as the “Black Hands of the Street.”

  • Fixers say: “If you’re marked by a Raven, you’ll never hear them coming.”

  • RMC cyberware is the benchmark of infiltration gear—so secure that even AI-driven ICE struggles to crack their decks.

  • Many in Night City believe Dr. Corvis Crowe still lives, walking the streets in one of his Gemini bodies, eternal and watching.
