Megacorp Name Generator (Shadowrun)

Designing a sixth world megacorp

Megacorps in Shadowrun are nations with shareholders. A good name needs to feel international, slightly bland on the surface, and quietly ominous once you read the prospectus. Mix invented founder surnames, geographic cues, and industry buzzwords to land that uncanny corporate sheen players love to hate.

Use the names at your table

Drop a fresh corp into a run as the secret backer behind a Johnson, the rival hunting your decker, or the brand on every vending machine in the barrens. A named corporation gives players a target and a reputation to track across sessions, turning random gigs into a long campaign feud.

Layered structures and subsidiaries

• AAA parents with planetary reach and orbital assets
• AA divisions focused on biotech, arms, or matrix services
• A rated subsidiaries running local sprawl operations
• Shell fronts perfect for deniable black ops

Worldbuilding hooks

Pair each name with a slogan, a signature product, and a scandal waiting to break. Slogans show up on AR billboards, products end up in shadowrunner gear lists, and scandals become job offers when a rival corp wants leverage. With a handful of generated brands you can sketch an entire sprawl economy in minutes.

What's a Shadowrun Megacorp?

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?
