Stygian Technologies
Based in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.
“Wresting Autonomy from Anatomy”
Transhumanism, Talent, Secrecy

Gaining their initial success through curing multiple sclerosis and many forms of brain cancer by utilizing scorpion neurotoxins, Stygian Technologies has always been a company that values human progress over profit. Indeed, Stygian is one of a very few major tech firms that has not ever been publicly traded. This leaves them with fewer resources, but without shareholders to answer to, it can run with significantly greater freedom to pursue more altruistic goals and grant its employees extensive benefits, if not the upper range of salaries they might find working elsewhere. This garners some of the brightest and most idealistic scientific minds in the world, as well as winning the hearts of many residents in its corporately retained urban districts.

Stygian Technologies has traditionally specialized in medicine, though that has broadened to include bionics and genetic engineering as new ways to repair injury and cure disease have presented themselves. In the past few decades, human enhancement has become their focus as they find themselves assaulted from all sides by jealous and greedy corporations and in need of powerful defenders. While it may be the least profitable of the major conglomerates, no company is more envied for both its human and transhuman resources.
