Tyrell Corporation
Financial, Medicine, & Science market sector
Tyrell Corporation sets the industry standard for medical cybernetics and augments. Due to the ability to mass produce the components that make up artificial organs and limbs, Tyrell Corporation is able to produce their replacements with a significant cost savings thanks to economies of scale. The benefit to the consumer is readily obvious as well, with Tyrell Corporation Umbrella Corporation hospitals have replacements on hand. While InGen can boast perfect host compatibility and full sensory range with their cloned parts, Tyrell Corporation replacements are half the cost. Many consumers prefer cybernetics because of the ease of customization.
Tyrell Corporation is unique amongst the mega corporations as they prefer to sign loans directly with their consumers, rather than use an intermediary like CHOAM. It affords Tyrell Corporation greater flexibility in repayment options that they deem worth the extra financial risk and increased corporate overhead.
Tyrell Corporation has also long produced drones. They do produce standard industrial application drones, such as mining, probe, and repair – but their major focus for drone technology for more domestic applications – Cooking, cleaning, secretarial, and other such activities. As such there is very little competition with Vault-Tec and their line of rugged laborer drones. Savvy investors have noted a recent patent filed by Tyrell Corporation for a new drone classification referred to as a ‘Replicant’. The product description remains classified, so the assumption is that it has some military application.
The current CEO is Dr. Eldon Tyrell. He is a brilliant scientist in his own right, and heads up much of research & development on new projects. He has an antiquated sense of fashion, preferring tuxedos and bowties in the style of mid-20th AD America from the history of the Terran capitol. When he is working in the lab, he will don a similarly antiquated ‘lab coat’ over his formalwear, unless an HEV is required. There are rumors that he is either taking anagathics or using advanced cybernetic augments to counteract the effects of aging. By all rights, Eldon Tyrell should be past his prime. Although he is elderly in appearance, he remains physically spry and keen minded despite his advanced years.
