Armacham Technology Corporation (sometimes shortened to ATC) was a company which was one of the Axis members during the Great War, as they were ultimately responsible for Alma Wade's hostility, and the subsequent disastrous results, and for the creation of the Replica Forces. ATC was most well known for the large amount of unethical experiments performed in the name of financially bolstering the company. They were also part of the Corporation Wars until it was dissolved after that.
Alma's Outbreak[]
Genevieve Aristide, the president of ATC.
ATC had been in operation since 1964 (XXXX NE), according to a news report. A multi-national conglomerate, ATC prided itself on being on the cutting edge of technology, with research and development occurring primarily for military applications, including aerospace. Within their headquarters, a number of pictures of unconventional aircraft can be seen hung on walls; these include what appears to be a large, two-seat version of an F-22 Raptor with an extended nose flying in formation with a standard F-22 fighter jet, inferring that the company likely worked on joint ventures with companies such as Boeing and other military contractors such as Lockheed Martin.
Other projects were a huge compound helicopter using rocket boosters, and a space shuttle design similar to the various SSTO spaceplane proposals of the 80s and 90s, such as HOTOL and the X-30 and X-33. They had had military contracts with the United States military since the 1970s, starting with the Icarus project, as well as making smaller computers for infantry used missiles. The corporation also sells high-tech spy satellites, such as its newest version of the Hannibal series, the Hannibal-3 spy satellite.
They had highly-efficient nuclear reactors, working cryogenic suspension, cloning technology, and were extremely unethical with regards to their methods. ATC was interested in the water contamination in the Auburn District due to one of their experiments causing it, sickening the people in the immediate vicinity of the Origin Facility.
The Point Man encounters several of ATC's high-tech designs. Auto-defense gun equipped with heavy machine guns line the ceilings of Armacham's closely-guarded floors, powered armor exoskeletons under Paxton Fettel's control wreak havoc with impunity and shrug off anything weaker than explosive or high-caliber weapons, and Laser-Armed compact UAVs flit in and about the floors checking for intruders.
Theyy had a small army of heavily armed security guards known as the Armacham Technology Corporation security guards, but they were poorly trained and easily dispatched when up against Replica troops, due to the superhuman abilities of the Replicas. Some security forces travelled around in Ford Crown Victoria interceptors and Chevy pick-up trucks that are unarmored.
