Raven Tech

A Raven Technologies factory


Raven Technologies, also known as Raven Tech, was one of the corporations researching artificial intelligence in the leadup to Judgment Day.

History[]

After the Vietnam war, the US government started secretly researching alternatives to an enlisted army. Raven Technologies was created as a dummy corporation and acted as a front for the government. Raven Tech began to steal advanced robotics and artificial intelligence research through corporate espionage.

After the original T-800 was destroyed by Sarah Connor in 1984, the US government used Raven Technologies to study the advanced technology contained in its heavily damaged torso and skull.[1] Raven even allowed Cyberdyne Systems' Bertram Hollister access to the T-800's remains in exchange for Cyberdyne's secrets.[2]

In 1985. Raven Technologies worked in collaboration with the mercenary contractor Rothlake Corporation to produce and test a remote-controlled robotic soldier called Myrmidon. Raven Tech were even rumored to have kept the remains of Kyle Reese for study after his death at hands of the Terminator.[1]

Raven Tech’s other projects were only marginally successful: they launched Project Bellerophon, an AI prototype, in 1992; they were soon forced to scrap it, as it was deemed a complete failure.[2] By the mid-1990s they would be completely displaced by private military contractor Cyberdyne Systems. Nonetheless, they still became a target of Sarah Connor's terrorist campaign, who tried to blow up their offices.[1][2]

In 1996, after a government bailout, Raven Technologies was merged with former corporate rival Cyberdyne; combined, they became the Cyberdyne Research Group under exclusive contract with the United States Air Force. Raven's legacy lived on in the form of Raven Special Project Group, a special Cyberdyne Research Group projects task force involved in industrial espionage, hacking, and other underhanded maneuvers.[2]

Known Personnel[]

The CEO of Raven Technologies in the 1980s was Edward Corvus. Its security corps, Raven Security Guards (RSG), was a formidable force, generally very well-trained and motivated.[3]
