"History has shown time after time that humanity can only undertake a great change when a common threat befalls them. Wars have been fought, kings have been slain, and billions have fallen all in the name of survival… No more. I believe that humanity is capable of virtue, to live side-by-side in peace. I aim to create a world with no violence, to bring harmony, serenity, equanimity; a world with no boundaries."
—Lord Wilhelm van der Berg, Grandfather of Nucorp Industries (1867-1944)
Damien van der Berg
I want to offer my deepest condolences to the friends and family of the late GD-████. As was written in our contract, I have granted you an access key to our database. You may also make a copy of this database to be perused by your subordinates; of course, with certain redactions in accordance with your security clearances.
With that being said, let me be the first to bid you welcome. Welcome to both your new role and to our continued partnership.

Damien van der Berg
CEO & President
Nucorp Industries
Nucorp Industries was officially founded in 1956 as a result of a merger between two corporate entities: Chelmsfordshire Iron Works, a shipbuilding company, and Nucorp Institute, a privately-funded consortium of researchers. Nowadays, we operate as a privately held, applied scientific research and development company with a strong focus on reverse-engineering anomalous objects into safe, useful products.
From home appliances to small arms, supersonic aircraft to battleships, or even a simple consultation before you commit to a purchase, we have the means to meet every customer's wants and needs—all while drawing on knowledge gained from our research into the unknown.
Discover how Nucorp Industries has evolved over the years from its humble beginnings into the global conglomerate we all know today. Journey through 120 years of remarkable accolades. Meet Lord Wilhelm van der Berg, the man who started it all, and discover how our household icons, such as the Phasegate™, came to be. With Nucorp Industries, we deliver the future at your doorstep.
Our Vision and Mission
"Dedicating our lives for the betterment of humanity; through trial and error, one experiment after another."
Our founder has always believed that innovation and technological advancements can unite humanity around a common goal. As with wars, innovation grows exponentially when humanity works together.
"Making better worlds—perfect communities to live in and grow old together, safe and sound."
Although Nucorp Industries has always striven for absolute innovation, our team still holds to our late founder's optimistic vision: to make the world a better place for humanity, free from senseless violence—a utopia, with their safety guaranteed.
Humble Beginnings
Our Grandfather, Lord Wilhelm van der Berg, was born on June 5, 1867, and was an heir to a very wealthy merchant family. Growing up, Lord van der Berg listened to stories of how his father had supplied weapons to the Confederate States of America as a trading tool for their cotton. He'd often hear his father gloat about how they'd effectively prolonged the war to enrich themselves, all while wearing the same cotton the Americans had killed each other for on their backs.
Rennard, the premier clipper ship of the Lion Star Navigation Co.
From then on, Lord van der Berg vowed never to perpetuate suffering, unlike his forefathers. He inherited his father's company and title as a Liveryman after his passing in 1899. He took no time to modify his merchant ships to instead ferry mail and passengers, effectively transforming his business into a transportation company and renaming it as the Lion Star Navigation Company.
Lord van der Berg had also taken a more proactive role in the British government during this time, running for the Lord Mayor of London in 1901. He married his wife around this time, with whom he had a son named Maximilian van der Berg.
An Unlikely Investment
As part of his political endeavors, Lord van der Berg frequented many colleges in London to scout for aspiring scholars and sponsor their research. Among these scholars, Lord van der Berg met with one, Edward Nu, during a thesis tribunal at the Royal College of Science.
Edward Nu (c. 1901).
During the presentation, Nu presented a fresh red apple and two wicker baskets: one was placed right side up and the other upside down. He then dropped the apple into the right-side-up basket, and it immediately began dropping from the upside-down basket, albeit profoundly rotted.
Edward Nu had just presented interdimensional travel, harnessing a naturally occurring burst of energy affectionately named "Nu-particles" at the time. The professors were, understandably, skeptical. When asked to repeat the demonstration, Nu stated that any repetitions with the experiment were impossible, since he had exhausted the last of his Nu-particles during the demonstration. With no way to replicate the experiment in a short window of time, the professors dismissed Edward Nu's demonstration as a con and promptly expelled him from the college. Fortunately, Lord van der Berg took both pity and interest in Nu's research, and he would eventually make a rather risky gamble and sponsor it.
After this point, the two of them grew closer, both striving to deepen research into Nu-particles, hoping to one day invent a safe method for their use and ultimately revolutionize travel and transport. However, Edward Nu disappeared one day, and his body was never found, leaving only his research logs behind. Lord van der Berg, still hopeful that Nu-particles would be applied someday, poured a significant portion of his wealth into hiring scholars and establishing a research company in 1906 to continue research into Nu-particles, named Nucorp Institute.
Outbreak of War
With the outbreak of the First World War and reports rolling in of German cruisers targeting British ships, regardless of their status as a naval or civilian entity, Lord van der Berg began to downsize his fleet, fearing innocent lives might be caught in the crossfire. By May 1915, he had sold most of his passenger ships to the Royal Navy for retrofitting as hospital ships, with some even becoming armed cruisers.
However, as he was still not satisfied with the safety of British ships in the waters of Dover, Lord van der Berg ultimately decided to pivot solely into the shipbuilding business. On June 19, 1916, Lord van der Berg had sold off the last of his ocean liners and bought a plot of land in Chelmsford, UK, to establish the new headquarters of his shipbuilding company, the Chelmsfordshire Iron Works.
Former headquarters of the Chelmsfordshire Iron Works.
The transformation of his business had proven quite expensive. As such, Lord van der Berg quickly sold off his sponsored research, patents, and inventions, almost outright shutting down Nucorp Institute, scrapping the research into Nu-particles, and selling off the findings. He also began training his son, Maximilian, to take over the recently transformed shipyard business as he sought to live far away from the conflict.
The van der Bergs' business remained stagnant well after the conclusion of the Spanish Civil War. During this time, Lord van der Berg had grown ill due to old age. However, he strived to sponsor one last research project before his passing.
Lord van der Berg ultimately visited the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Advancement of Science in 1939 and read the paper published that day regarding the evidence of a nuclear fission reaction. He immediately jumped on the opportunity and directed the long-stagnated Nucorp Institute scholars to research everything about this discovery—pouring the last bit of his personal wealth along the way.
While others worked to build a nuclear bomb, Lord van der Berg instead built a nuclear power reactor. His last wish was then realized in 1942, in the form of the first-ever evidence of a nuclear fission reaction in Chicago. Unfortunately, Lord van der Berg passed away shortly thereafter during the closing stages of the Second World War in 1944.
After the conclusion of the Second World War, Lord van der Berg's son, Maximilian, planned to shutter Nucorp Institute for good in an attempt to bolster his increasingly lucrative shipbuilding business. The scientists within the Institute were left neglected, with many ultimately quitting to pursue their own avenues.
Authority Figure
Maximilian van der Berg, 1953.
The success of both forms of nuclear fission (power generation and mass destruction) attracted Authority officials to hire the scientists behind the inventions. After interviewing numerous current and former Nucorp Institute scientists, they instead found that most of them were involved with the almost-forgotten research into Nu-particles.
The Authority then offered Maximilian van der Berg the chance to partner with Nucorp Institute as a whole rather than salvage the scientists individually. However, the partnership contract also stipulated manufacturing capabilities that Nucorp Institute lacked.
Research notes on Nu-particles gave Maximillian van der Berg significant leverage in the contractual negotiations and practically gave him an offer he could not possibly refuse. As such, he combined the research capabilities of Nucorp Institute with the manufacturing knowledge, machinery, and factories of his shipbuilding company into a single entity: Nucorp Industries.
Partnership between the Authority and Nucorp Industries was formalized on November 9, 1956. While Nucorp Industries provided advanced research and development, the Authority provided funding, security, and consultancy on the anomalous world.
Securing Footholds
From here on out, Nucorp Industries worked tirelessly day after day to establish new research and manufacturing plants across the world. Partnerships were formed, companies were taken over, and countless projects were commissioned over the years. At the same time, funding and advisory from the majority stakeholder, the Authority, had allowed us to strengthen our research division.
As Nucorp Industry operates in a veiled world, any contracts outside the Authority must be approved by an independent oversight board. Nevertheless, mass-manufactured products using knowledge gained from reverse-engineered anomalies (e.g., microchips) have since proven to be a lucrative business for Nucorp Industries.
Nu-Nucorp
The funding and advisory provided by the Authority had proven fruitful for the research into Nu-particles. On October 9, 1972, a Nucorp scientist successfully developed a safe method of travel within the greater inter-reality world, the GS-1 Phasegate.
Expeditions undertaken by trained professionals began just a few months after the first successful test firing of the Phasegate. While the dimensions explored during the expeditions had proven quite dangerous, with a few confirmed fatalities due to environmental factors, the Phasegate has since proven itself safe, and the data gained were verifiably priceless.
Nucorp explorers had found a dimension seemingly made entirely of bare concrete floors stretching into infinity, yet with a breathable atmosphere. This dimension proved to be the perfect medium for transporting both people and cargo, as it operates on a higher-dimensional plane of energy than ours, stretching the distance traveled.
Global Conglomerate
Today, Nucorp Industries has evolved into the international powerhouse that we all know. We had since developed numerous products from humble household appliances to lumbering giants like the 'Oluja' Tilt-Engine Aircraft. Access to numerous research facilities and manufacturing installations across the globe enabled the rapid deployment of new technologies into our customers' hands.
Research into Nu-particles and the inter-reality world is still active; new avenues await discovery. Nucorp Industries had also planned to eventually commercialize the Phasegate™ for the general public, ultimately revolutionizing travel and transport just as our Grandfather, Wilhelm van der Berg, once dreamed.

GS-1 Phasegate
MGS-1, prototype of a mobile deployable iteration of the original GS-1 Phasegate.
The GS-1 Phasegate (known internally as Project 13) is an apparatus that allows travel into the greater inter-reality world using supercooled, superpositioned Nu-particles. Discs containing liquefied Nu-particles are arranged in a circle around one another, then spun at high rotations while being cooled to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero. Centripetal force causes the Nu-particles to superpose within the discs' parameter, thus providing a solid foundation for a portal.
Destinations may be selected by adjusting the discs' rotational forces and tuning them to specific gravitational loads. In contrast, specific spatial points within the destination may be adjusted by locally altering the temperature within specific discs to varying degrees, creating hotspots that correspond to the Cartesian coordinate system.
One way to use the greater inter-reality world to travel within our universe is to find a dimension with higher "planar energy" than ours. This planar energy can be explained similarly to how gravity works. For example, a ball resting atop a cliff would have a higher potential energy than one that rests in a valley, and if pushed, would naturally fall towards the valley. The same logic can be applied to a dimension with a greater planar energy; the same distances traveled within that dimension would be shorter compared to ours. Any object that travels within it would essentially be "falling sideways" into our universe. The inverse effect would apply if it were a dimension with a weaker planar energy than ours.
The initial explorations of new inter-reality destinations must be conducted in a hermetically sealed chamber to prevent environmental, biological, or chemical incidents. Mobile versions of the Phasegate must have their destination and spatial selection pool locked to verified lists only.
Inter-reality travel was first discovered in 1906 by Edward Nu during his thesis presentation at the Royal College of Science. During that time, inter-reality travel was restricted to a far more primitive and dangerous form, as metallurgical knowledge and materials science had not yet advanced beyond their rudimentary stages.
A primitive form of inter-reality travel utilizing Nu-particles may be achieved by first condensing Nu-particles into a slurry, casting them into discs, and cooling them as low a temperature as possible. Inter-reality travel using this method is only possible if the discs are cooled to below -12 °C; however, it is extremely dangerous, as there is no tangible way to select a destination or specific points in space.
Full-scale development of broader inter-reality travel only began in 1956, a few months after Nucorp Industries was formally established, with the primary goal of developing a safe travel method capable of selecting specific destinations. The project was officially designated as Project Prima Via, which produced the GS-1 Phasegate and was first operational on September 12, 1972.
Further development of the Phasegate project has produced the MGS-1 Mobile Phasegate (designated internally as Project 13B), a smaller, mobile, deployable version designed for exterior or emergency use. It has the same fundamental components as its parent version, albeit with a simplified construction to reduce cost and complexity and a restricted destination selection pool. This mobile model is also intended for eventual mass commercial use, with an additional development target to ensure maximum safety and reliability.
Eridani 9/58 (discovered March 14, 1999) is a designation for a dimension seemingly made out of an infinite plane of bare concrete flooring. Yet, it possesses an atmosphere with air pressure and material composition similar to Earth's. Eridani 9/58 is lit by a seemingly stationary source of light in the sky that keeps the dimension at a perpetually hospitable temperature of 23 °C, albeit constantly obscured by a thick water-based fog.
Extensive research and exploration into this dimension have found no tangible threats to human life, save for a lack of water or other biological materials to sustain it. This dimension is also at a significantly higher planar energy level than Earth's, making it suitable for travel and transportation. Findings suggest that for every 1 meter traveled within Eridani 9/58, 798.12 meters would have been traveled on Earth.
Construction for transportation infrastructure (such as railways) has begun after expeditionary teams have given the all-clear signal and seismographic analyses have found no underground abnormalities. Eridani 9/58 will be the primary means of the mass commercial adoption of inter-reality travel and transport.
'Oluja' Tilt-Engine Personnel Transport & Reconnaissance Aircraft
Project 150 'Oluja' original blueprints.
The Oluja (known internally as Project 150) is a multi-role tiltjet personnel transport and cargo aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities. It is designed to combine the loitering and personnel deployment capabilities of a helicopter with the range, speed, and superior cruising performance of a conventional turbofan aircraft.
The idea for a tiltjet personnel transport aircraft was conceived in 1994 after Authority representatives approached Nucorp Industries' Aerospace division to commission a small, lightweight aircraft that could facilitate the rapid deployment of their agents to hostile areas.
The first concept designs for the Oluja were for a tiltrotor aircraft more akin to popular models already on the market. However, Authority representatives were insistent that the aircraft must sustain more than 600 km/h during normal cruise and reach a top speed of over 900 km/h at full power.
The speed requirements automatically rule out a rotor design, as high-speed rotor vortices can produce significant turbulence and vibration, leading to airframe damage. Subsequent designs utilize non-afterburning turbofan engines, significantly increasing the aircraft's top and cruising speeds.
However, because tiltjet designs require the engines to be mounted high on the wingtips and the aircraft must generate sufficient lift at low speeds, the wings must be both thick and straight. Here, another problem is introduced: the wave and induced drag from the wings' shape and thickness limit their cruising and top speeds.
One way to alleviate this problem is to use a swept wing; however, such a design would instead introduce a forward pitching moment, as the heavy engines must be placed further back relative to the airframe. Another way is to use a variable-sweep wing. Again, this design introduces more drawbacks than advantages due to the aforementioned pitching moment and the heavier components required for the wing's sweeping mechanism.
Ultimately, Nucorp engineers settled on using the simpler straight wings, albeit with a thinner airfoil, and a liberal addition of high-lift devices (such as flaps and slats) to produce more lift at low speeds. The projected design would give the aircraft a cruising speed of Mach 0.63 (716 km/h) at 7,000 m and a top speed of Mach 0.85 (913 km/h) at sea level.
The prototype of the Oluja took flight on May 1, 2018, above Authority's Site-002 Airspace & Test Range in Nevada, USA. The test flight was also witnessed by several outside parties acting as part of Nucorp's Investors' Club invitational event. Widespread scrutiny of the aircraft's reliability, given its tiltjet design, quickly emerged, with the majority of investors turning away due to the risk. However, the Oluja's test flight was enough to impress the RPC Authority officials. The first Oluja unit to be received by the Authority's MST agents was delivered on August 17, 2021.

Maximillian Mirror
The first successful photograph taken through a Maximillian Mirror device. Taken in 4/22/2008, projected to 4/22/1908.
The Maximillian Mirror (known internally as Project 703) is an electronic device connected to a 0.5mm foil of transparent, cubic, anomalous silicate crystal (named Analepsite) native to ███████████ 1/94 that, when interacting with an electric current, alters refractions passed through itself to display a past iteration of the area being refracted. The Maximillian Mirror is designed to use the properties of analepsite to alter pictures taken through chemical processing, as image sensors do not capture the effect. The device itself contains a screen and a numbered input keyboard calibrating the electric pulse sent through the foil covering the lens of the camera; an earlier date correlating with a higher discharge.
It should be noted that the analepsite foil has a limited use, as the electric discharge gradually damages the crystal, producing microfractures at first and breaking apart after extended use. The thinnest produced analepsite foils can withstand 7-9 photographs, while the widest foils (though materially intensive) can reliably produce 20 photographs before cracking.
· NOTICE: Science teams assigned to Project 703 are advised that analepsite is a deeply scarce resource due to its methodical extraction and extradimensional origin; Maximillian Mirror photographs should be taken sparingly and both originals and copies should be handled with the utmost care. Losses (such as the incident regarding the missing archives during the "30th Decennial Research World's Fair") will not be treated lightly.
TN-335 Psychoactive Agent
Nucorp Patent TN-335—also known as Compound 335—is a psychoactive agent that comes in pre-filled, disposable plastic injectors commonly used in cases requiring advanced interrogation techniques. TN-335 is packaged in a hermetically sealed fiberglass case containing the following items:
- 3x TN-335 injector (red needle cover)
- 5x SL-973 Antipsychotic injector (green needle cover)
- 1x Stainless steel bite block
- 1x Leather straitjacket (one size fits all)
- 3x Ratchet straps (webbed polyester straps, steel buckle)
- 1x Field guide
TN-335 chemical structure.
SL-973 is a neuroleptic medication used to nullify the effects of TN-335, which can be used before or after the injection of Compound 335. SL-973 injectors are similar in both structure and mechanism, with the only defining difference being the green safety cap rather than the red one on TN-335 injectors.
Both TN-335 and SL-973 injectors feature a needle cover that automatically extends after use and a time-released extermination solution to remove traces of the compounds that may remain inside the injector. TN-335 and SL-973 injectors do not bear distinguishing markings and are safe to discard in public disposal units. Wipe down used injectors thoroughly to remove residual DNA and fingerprints, and always recycle.
TN-335 and SL-973 compounds are shelf-stable and are suitable for use 10 years after the listed production date. Always check the expiry date before use, and return any expired injectors to Authority Biochemical Unit personnel or Nucorp Industries representatives. Place any unused TN-335 and SL-973 injectors back in the case. Store in a cool and dry place out of direct sunlight.
NOTE: TN-335 should only be administered by MST Sierra-8 ("Sundowners") investigators or qualified personnel carrying certification for Sensitive Medications and Treatments – 2006 (SMT/06). Do not attempt Compound 335 administration without qualified personnel.
NOTE: In the case of spillage, TN-335 compound vapors can induce mild effects if inhaled. If you encounter a broken TN-335 vial and/or injector, or suspect there has been a spillage, vacate the area immediately and contact the Authority's Biochemical Unit. The brevity code for TN-335 spillage is "Nightmare."
Directions:
DO NOT USE INJECTORS IF SEAL IS BROKEN
TN-335: RED needle cover
SL-973: GREEN needle cover
- Grasp TN-335 injector with the red needle cover pointed downwards
- Remove blue safety cap and position thumb on the ridged button¹
- Position the red needle cover directly on the subject's exposed skin
- Press the button until it clicks, and hold the injector in place for 5 seconds
- Subject will lose consciousness within 10 seconds of injection
- Prop subject with the leather straitjacket and steel bite block
- If necessary, use the ratchet straps to hold the subject in place
- Subject will remain unconscious for approximately 30 minutes
- Inject subject with SL-973 antipsychotics if you wish to abort²
- Interrogate subject as necessary
¹ Each TN-335 injector features a fiberglass safety membrane rated for 5 lbs of force to prevent accidental injections. Should the need arise, the fiberglass membrane can be discarded by pulling the plastic tab until you hear a click. The membrane will shatter, and the injector can be used without resistance.
² The administrative procedure of Compound SL-973 is similar to that of Compound 335. SL-973 is effective at aborting the effects of Compound 335 if administered 1 hour before the injection or within 30 minutes of the injection.
DO NOT INJECT MORE THAN 1 DOSE EVERY 5 MINUTES
Oversaturation of Compound 335 can send the subject into shock and permanently damage the brain. Signs of an overdose include:
- Increased heart rate
- Dilated pupils and photosensitivity
- Incoherent speech
How it Works:
Compound 335 manipulates the chemical balance in the subject's occipital lobe and nervous system to induce visual hallucinations and extreme pain, respectively. The Compound can be divided into 4 different stages, namely:
- Stage 1: Controlled Unconsciousness. The Compound first acts as a general anesthesia by blocking the electrical signals from traveling to the subject's brain. This neurochemistry allows interrogating personnel time to prepare the subject for restraint.
- Stage 2: Cortex Stimulation. The Compound then stimulates the subject's insular cortex and secondary somatosensory cortex, thereby inducing extreme pain.
- Stage 3: Visual-Auditory Hallucinations.
- Stage 4: Shock.
Thorough research found no evidence of long-lasting psychological effects when the compounds are administered as directed (one dose every 5 minutes, up to 3 doses within a 24-hour timeframe). However, subjects may suffer injuries as an indirect effect of the TN-335 injection, such as suicide.
Known Issue: Subjects diagnosed with ADHD/ADD exhibited negated psychotic effects of Compound 335.
UNAAC Common Article 3 Controversy
On July 23, 2013, UNAAC representatives visited the Nucorp Industries' Biochemical Research & Development Facility in Langley, VA, to assess compliance with products and equipment standards. They found the TN-335 project to be "cruel and unusual", and later issued a statement condemning the use of TN-335 in interrogations.
As stated previously, thorough research has found no direct link between physical damage from TN-335 injections. However, the UNAAC stated that subjects carrying the memory of the experience violated Common Article 3, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
We do recognize the lack of any physical damage to persons undergoing Compound 335 administration. However, those same people do carry the memory of the inhumane treatments the Compound had subjected them to. It is no different than, say, a soldier being traumatized by the torture his enemy had put him through during captivity, even though his wounds had long since healed. The trauma is still there.
— Leopold Schröder, UNAAC Ethics Director
As such, all TN-335 compounds produced in January 2014 onwards include additional compounds that target the subject's hippocampus to prevent memory consolidation; subjects undergoing TN-335 treatment will lose the memory of the experience approximately 1 hour after injection.
