This list contains Corps and Mega-Corps for the various locals frequented during the current SR4 campaign. Through the course of play, a PC may become affiliated with one or more corporations (or divisions of a corp). If an unaffiliated PC completes an objective in line with the corporations interests, even accidentally, then he may get an offer to affiliate instead of a reward. Affiliates do not become full-fledged Company Men, but rather act as “deniable assets,” “covert agents,” or to put it bluntly, “spies.”
Each corporation has an interest in what’s going on in the Shadows. As a result, corps often have tasks they may want its people to accomplish during a scenario. Naturally, each corp also has a reward it gives to those agents that accomplish these objectives. PCs who choose to accept an affiliation will have the opportunity to earn special rewards and undertake special tasks in select scenarios.
