Renraku Computer Systems

Renraku stores things. Memory, databases, records: if an institution knows something about you, it is probably sitting on Renraku hardware. An unglamorous business, and an enormous one.

In Seattle they are also a landmark. The arcology downtown is a corporate city with its own power, water and population, and it does not need the sprawl around it for anything.

What the crew knows#

• Inside the arcology you are inside their country: their laws and their police, with no appeal.
• The Red Samurai are their internal security. They are very good, and unlike MCT they will take you alive, which is not obviously the better outcome.
• Tens of thousands of people live in there and go about ordinary lives. Some of them will talk to you for money.
• Their Los Angeles presence is data centers and cable, not towers. In a city with no government, being the company that holds everyone's records is quietly a lot of power.
• Easiest of the Japanese corps to get physically near, hardest to get anything out of.

Standing with the crew#

Neutral. They have no reason to know your names.
