Megacorps rule the Sixth World, combining advanced technology, global reach, and a ruthless hunger for profit. This generator creates multi-part, industry-specific names that sound official, powerful, and utterly devoid of soul. Generate official-sounding entities like Zhang Falcon Heavy Works Universal or the merged giant Ares-Kirin Defense Universal.
A megacorp in Shadowrun is a multi-national company so powerful that it operates beyond the reach of traditional governments. These A-rated (or AA/AAA) entities are sovereign states unto themselves, with private armies, spies, and control over everything from biotech to information warfare. They are the ultimate shadow employers—or the ultimate targets.
Designing a Corporate Identity
When generating a name for your megacorp, consider:
Which industries do they dominate (e.g., Biotech, Defense, Media)?
Does the name include a structure suffix (e.g., ZAIBATSU, Conglomerate, PLC)?
Does it combine different cultures (e.g., MitsuMitsuhama, Aoki-Volt)?
Does it sound like an old, respected firm (e.g., Lockwood & Spinrad)?
Is the name intimidating enough to launch a war?
