Revision as of 12:19, 26 September 2022

A Megacorporation (aka Mega-corporation, Megacorp, etc) is a very large powerful corporation with a lot of wealth, resources and power.

Private Armies: Large numbers of armed goons and mercenaries. These guys typically get roflstomped by whatever hero happens to be around at the given moment.
Company Towns: A town where everything is owned by a company. You not only work for the company here, you live in company housing, eat at a company canteen, drink at the company bar, shop at a company store, send your kids to a company school, etc. Usually you're paid in company scrip (coupons that are good at company facilities) and the prices are high.
Sub-Divisions: A Megacorp will have its fingers in a lot of pies. Often it will try to control as much as its supply chain as possible to reduce costs and it will acquire things it deems useful.
Fixers: People who can sort out issues for a Megacorp that they'd rather not do overtly. This ranges from spying to engineering scandals for their rivals to assassination.

The East India Company (EIC): One of the early wave of corporations founded in 1600 to trade with India, the EIC gradually took over the entire Indian Subcontinent.
Standard Oil: Came to dominate the American Petroleum industry.

A staple of the Cyberpunk genre.
