So far we’ve touched upon the weapons powerhouses of Hargan Corporation, R-Sys LLC, Exeter SPE, and Oslo Ordinance. Each has carved a significant niche out of the weapons-dealing business in CrimeCraft. However, several other firms compete every day for a larger piece of the pie, giving players a significant number of choices in-game. In today’s blog, we’ll describe two more exporters of high-caliber competition.
Jericho Systems
Jericho Systems has long had a singular goal in mind: achieving maximum destruction with a minimum of material. No other company in the world has focused so exclusively on creating weapons capable of being held in the palm of your hand that also have the power to obliterate cities. To that end, Jericho has focused on advancing weapons technology for rocket and grenade launchers, though they have also been long known for crafting the single most effective pistol in the world, the Jericho Cataclysm. Their intense focus on efficient destruction has made Jericho one of the most in-demand weapon manufacturers in the world. It has also made them one of the most controversial companies on the planet.
A recent example of the controversy surrounding Jericho involves two of their most destructive weapons. Jericho had perfected the EMD, or Ecophagic Munitions Device, and the GDG, or Gravitational Dissonance Gun. Both of these ultra-powerful weapons were meant only to be used as last resort options in times of war, but all it took was for one to fall into the wrong hands.
Individual units of each of these weapons were inadvertently captured by American secessionist forces in the battles which broke out after the collapse, and were deployed against American forces by the rebellion in the Battle of Miami. That which was not leveled by the GDG, which shredded everything caught in its beam on an atomic level, was consumed in a massive eruption of nanobots when the EMD was deployed. In that single battle, a half a million people lost their lives and the city of Miami was devastated. The ruins of the city still crackle with a shadowy instability, a permanent legacy of the massive power of Jericho’s weapon systems and unswerving focus on maximum destruction.
Though production of these weapons ceased and remaining systems were apparently destroyed after the events of Miami, Jericho continues to unceasingly pursue their aims. Their complete certitude and non-chalance about the havoc they sow makes them both incredibly dangerous and hugely popular at the same time.
Cabrese S.p.A.
Cabrese S.p.A is a relatively new Italian company founded forty years ago by Achille Cabrese, who sought to develop powerful weapons for use by the Italian police force and military. With most of his family serving to protect the country against powerful crime families, young Achille grew frustrated with the ineffective hardware wielded by the police against far better equipped criminals.
It angered him to know how easily these illegal organizations acquired deadly weapons, in contravention of the law, and how terrible the results were when these weapons were used against less well-armed law enforcement. Turning his attentions to leveling the playing field, his company has focused on powerful anti-personnel weapons, and their sniper rifles, grenade launchers and assault rifles are among the world’s best.
Cabrese’s decision came during the great civil unrest during the last major period of Mafia Wars in Italy, a time in which violence had grown out of control and threatened to consume the nation. Achille personally learned of the devastation such wars caused, when his village came under attack against a heavily armed force of thugs. Not only did these thugs slaughter every last member of the police force, who were so outmatched in terms of hardware that they barely stalled the advance of the attackers, the criminals set about leveling whole areas of the town with their rockets and grenades.
The irony of the situation in the world today is not lost on the now aged Signore Cabrese. He acknowledges that his company, whose mission began so nobly, is now one of the leading manufacturers of weapons in a world gone to hell, his weapons sought after by police and criminals alike. However, when asked about the situation, he notes with a measure of hope that, whatever madness the world brings, his company will remain dedicated to trying to keep the field of battle level for those who would try to defend humanity from its own worst tendencies.
With six weapons firms revealed it leaves us with two remaining corporate players. With these last two we’ll have rounded out the wonderful world of weapons and we will be ready to move on to our megacorps!
