Hyperdyne Systems

Hyperdyne Systems

Overview

The S Company Hyperdyne Systems (The Company), formerly Cyberdyne Systems prior to the Zeria Company merger of 2068, is a leading competitive synthetic, HAL, and fabrication-firearm production company. Hyperdyne is a bleeding-edge synthetic manufacturing giant, directly competing with its sole significant rival, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. Despite a myriad of scandals, including but not limited to the Hyperdyne Militia occupation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo over its cobalt mines and the unfortunate fatalities resulting from malfunctioning leg actuators on the Hyperdyne 129-2 Synthetic Series, Hyperdyne remains a dominant powerhouse in the tech industry.

Early Company Inception

Cyberdyne Systems began as a manufacturing corporation in the town of Sunnyvale, California, United States of America. Founded during the early 1980s by Yoshiyuki Sankai, a former professor at the University of Tsukuba, Cyberdyne Systems produced computers, processors, and small parts for high end electronics. In mid-1984, Cyberdyne began developing radical breakthrough technology that led to the prototyping and development of exo-frames such as the HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) robotic exoskeleton. By late 1984, Cyberdyne was leading the field in biomedical and biotechnical research & development. In early 1997 the first HAL system hit the global markets and became an overnight success in the global manufacturing sector. Using this capital, Cyberdyne worked towards integrating their exoskeletal haptic systems and interests in biomedical technologies into a multi-corporation collaboration titled Project Replicant.

In 2012, Cyberdyne and the Tyrell Corporation partnered together and merged their smaller partners to advance Project Replicant, producing the first bioengineered humanoid, called the Nexus-Series Replicant. Resulting mutual growth of the Tyrell corporation and Cyberdyne helped keep Cyberdyne competitive in the face of the burgeoning market share of the recently founded Weyland Corporation. This fortuitous partnership lasted until the 2022 Blackout Incident that resulted in severe human casualties, the recall and outlaw of replicants, the abdication of the now 103-year-old Yoshiyuki Sankai’s presidency, and the appointment of Henry Cornelius Dal to the positions of President and CTO of Cyberdyne Systems.

Company Midlife

Despite the losses incurred by the Blackout Incident and the violent advancement of the Weyland Corporation’s market strategy, The Company under President Dal saw renewed success with the rising trend in advanced smart technologies and home synthetics. Following the success of the Weyland Corporation’s David-series android synthetics and Borgia Industries’ human-core synthetic exosuits used in Neonopolis in the 2030s, Dal devised a long-haul strategy to leverage small partnership acquisitions and integrate advanced quantum chips and systems produced by Cyberdyne to create their first full line of android synthetics. This vertical integration strategy permitted development of some of the highest-end luxury synthetics of the late 21st century, spearheaded by the highly popular 118-Series, and firmly established Cyberdyne Systems synthetics as a cutting-edge alternative to Weyland models.

While this strategy worked well for many years and saw the market share of Cyberdyne systems take over 41 percent of the total synthetic market between the years of 2040-2063, President Dal had his eyes set on even loftier goals. In 2067, Dal began his final steps for planning his succession and the future of the company. Leveraging hidden stock holdings, Henry Dal orchestrated a hostile takeover of the advanced artificial intelligence manufacturer Zeria Company, and by 2068 the merger of the two companies was complete. The resultant conglomerate reorganized under the Hyperdyne Systems name of today.

The dawn of 2099 and Hyperdyne Systems Today

Following the merger of Cyberdyne and Zeria, Henry Dal stepped down from his role of President and CTO, and promoted the grandson of Yoshiyuki Sankai, Konjiro Sankai to be the new President and CTO in late 2069. With the instruction and mentorship of the former President, Konjiro moved forward with the rapid prototyping and development of their recently acquired AI technologies. From this research phase, some of the most advanced tools and systems known today were created. By 2075, the first advanced blue-light optical fabricators hit the market to resounding success and in the following year the first iteration of hyperpulse information transfer became widely available. This permitted trivially replicable parts and prints to be manufactured at a fraction of the price compared to that of conventional manufacturing systems. In 2087, the first lines of Hyperdyne synthetics with quantum-state AI chips for higher level function hit the market. This opened up new possibilities for research assistance aboard science outposts and research vessels exploring the inner systems. The following year, motivated by harsh Interstate Commerce Commission regulations imposed on Hyperdyne by the Weyland-backed Three-World Empire, The Company began to secretly funnel cheap self-assembly fabricators and firearms files to separatists and smugglers in Germany, Spain, and Russia in order to keep further Eastern Earth markets afloat. This eventually led to Hyperdyne becoming indirectly listed as the largest supplier of firearms to the forming Union of Progressive Peoples in 2108. Despite Hyperdyne’s vehement dismissal and vilification of the practice of supplying illegal fabrication files to rogue military entities, most of the UPP’s major firearms stockpiles consist of regularly updated Hyperdyne patterns.

Despite their ties to the Union of Progressive Peoples, Hyperdyne Systems was never nationalized under the UPP like its fellow megacorporations that formerly serviced UPP outer world colonies like the mining conglomerates of the Hyades Cluster. Instead, Hyperdyne Systems has rapidly expanded their use of Hyperdyne-branded fabrication units and high-end synthetics in outer regions and amongst the working class of other mega-corporations. Additionally, advancements in AI intelligence and ship integrations have led to Hypderdyne producing its first ever mainframe-based artificial intelligence systems that regulate spacecraft, dubbed PROXY. Speculation insists that the Lockheed-Martin Corporation and Hyperdyne Systems are working jointly to include PROXY aboard the upcoming Lockmart CM-90A Buffalo intended for interstellar cruising and deep space cargo transport to resolve issues exposed by the USCSS Nostromo disaster.
