What the public was told, what the archive has recovered, and what remains sealed. Compiled by the Office of Public Records, 2070.

Chronology of the Corporation Wars

  • Pre-War

    The Long Lead

    ULTRACORP held a systematic Neuro-Simulation advantage over every competitor of its age. Its lead was not incidental it was pursued as a principle. Its superiority was admired and feared in equal measure.

  • The War

    The Alliance

    A coalition of rival corporations formed with a single stated purpose: to end ULTRACORP's dominance. The conflict consumed resources, districts, and lives across MegaCity for years. The alliance would emerge exhausted.

  • The War

    The Late Ally

    One corporation attempted to render assistance to ULTRACORP in the final phase of the conflict. It arrived too late to change the outcome. Its identity remains under review by this Office.

  • 2060

    Declaration of Destruction

    ULTRACORP was declared destroyed. The name was retired from public use, its holdings dispersed, its records sealed. The alliance claimed the victory at nearly total cost to itself.
