Militech International Armaments, or simply Militech, are the secondary antagonists of the Cyberpunk franchise.
One of the most powerful megacorporations in the world, Militech is an American arms manufacturer that acts as the primary supplier for the New United States of America, formerly the United States of America, although they provide their services to anyone who can afford them, whether they be nations, corporations, gangs or terrorists groups.
They are the direct rivals of the Arasaka Corporation.
Sources of Income[]
Militech products are sold in varying volumes to a total of eighty-two countries and over 250 corporations, not to mention millions upon millions of individuals, groups, gangs and terrorists cells around the world. The company's catalogue includes everything from pistols, rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, and shotguns, to armored vehicles, tanks, artillery systems, grenades, landmines, submarines, drones, and more. Rumors even suggest the company has developed more exotic weaponry, such as killer robots and energy-based arms.
The company's reach also extends into the cyberware market, offering a wide array of combat implants, like the Berserk and Sandevistan, and even full-body conversions — cybernetic body replacements that can completely transform their users into living weapons. In addition to arms and cyberware, Militech manufactures protective gear and tactical clothing, supplying body armor, combat uniforms, and helmets to military and paramilitary forces worldwide. The company also produces general military equipment, including field rations, knives, and survival gear.
In addition to its status as one of the world’s largest arms dealers, Militech is also renowned for it's massive private military force — one that dwarfs many national armies and is readily available for hire. Unlike Arasaka, which emphasizes elite special forces, Militech primarily deploys conventional infantry for urban combat and open-field operations. Though the company does maintain its own special forces units, they are rarely offered for hire, as Militech reserves them for operations where they stand to gain more than just financial profit. While Militech's troops may not match the elite professionalism of Arasaka’s bodyguards, they are far from inexperienced. These soldiers undergo extensive training for a wide range of scenarios, including airborne, amphibious, and all-terrain missions. Many are further enhanced through advanced cybernetic implants, combat drugs, and rumored genetic and biochemical modifications, making them far more powerful than ordinary soldiers.
While not on the same scale as Arasaka, Militech provides police services to cities all around the world, but most predominantly in the Americas. Currently, Militech is attempting to expand their police division into Asia and Europe, however, doing so is becoming increasingly difficult.
Criminal Activity and Controversies[]
Militech's military has been involved in a variety of illegal and unethical activities over the years, including: revolutions, military coups, assassinations, terrorist attacks, and ethnic cleansings. The most recent of these shady operations occurred in 2077, when Militech was exposed for carrying out massacres against innocent NUSA citizens — 75% of whom were of Japanese descent.
In 2023, during the 4th corporate war, Militech sent an assault team to Arasaka's Night City headquarters with the objective of planting and detonating a nuclear bomb. The operation would end up being successful, ending the war once and for all at the cost of many civilians lives. In the aftermath, Militech, with backing from the NUSA government, managed to frame Arasaka for the explosion, claiming that the megacorp had triggered the blast to prevent the site from falling into enemy hands. However, the truth eventually surfaced, sparking a massive PR disaster for both Militech and the NUSA.
Many presidents and politicians of the NUSA have previously served as Militech employees, executives, or even CEOs — granting the corporation immense influence over the government.
In the second decade of the 21st century, Militech initiated project Cynosure - a highly secretive and illegal program to capture and tame rogue AIs. It is unclear what exactly Militech had in mind for these rogue AIs, thought it can be assumed that the company wanted to use them to strengthen their military and intelligence capabilities or even use them as a direct competitor to Arasaka's Soulkiller. However, whatever Militech's plans were, in the end the project was deemed a failure and shut down, with all evidence being covered up to avoid a diplomatic crisis or even war.
Militech is also known for it's blatant disregard for it's veterans, who are not given financial and medical support once they retire. As many of them still possess multiple combat implants and are on the verge of cyberpsychosis, due to years of brutal service, there have been cases where Militech has sent swat teams to assassinate them under the justification of preventing potential violent outbursts.
