Vergis Corporation: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:21, 17 March 2012

The Vergis Corporation is a technology company based on Tauron, but operating throughout the Twelve Worlds in the years prior to the Cylon War. It is a direct competitor with Caprica's Graystone Industries. Its CEO is Tauron-native Tomas Vergis.

Headquartered out of Tauron City, the Vergis Corporation pioneered the development of a cybernetic brain called the meta-cognitive processor, or MCP. Though Graystone Industries CEO Daniel Graystone and lead scientist Cyrus Xander believed Vergis was years away from developing such hardware, the existence of the MCP comes to light when both companies begin vying for a contract with the Caprican government for the creation of robotic soldiers. While Graystone Industries had struggled for years with creating an independent brain for its Cyber Combat Unit prototype, the existence of the MCP at Vergis signals a direct threat to Graystone's acquisition of the Ministry of Defense contract (CAP: "Pilot", "Know Thy Enemy").

Believing Vegis' MCP is the key to resurrecting his deceased daughter in the form of the prototype Cylon chasis, Daneil Graystone orchestrates its theft from Vergis Corporation's Tauron City labs. Discovering the brutal beating and murder of his lab technicians as well as the theft of his chip, Tomas Vergis seeks personal vengeance for Graystone's transgression, pushing his company to acquire Graystone Industries assets, including the Caprica City Buccaneers (CAP: "Pilot", "Know Thy Enemy", "The Imperfections of Memory", "End of Line").

Suspecting the MCP chip with which Graystone Industries secures the Caprican defense contract, Colonel Sasha Patel of Military Procurement secretly meets with Tomas Vergis, telling the CEO that if his company were to acquire Graystone Industries, it would inherit its military contracts. With Graystone Industries hemorrhaging cubits from a debacle involving its top-selling holoband product, and Daniel Graystone distracted by the death of his daughter, the Vergis Corporation is successful in seizing control of the Caprican technology giant and begins production of 200,000 Cylon soldiers for the Caprican Military (CAP: "End of Line", "Unvanquished").

Suspicions on the part of the [[Caprica_(RDM)|Caprican]] military that the MCP was stolen, increasing doubts over Graystone's ability to meet its deadline for producing the prototype, and the [[Philomon|violent escape of the U-87]] lead to the military offering the Vergis Corporation the contract for producing Cylons ([[CAP]]: "[[End of Line]]"). Ultimately, [[Daniel Graystone]]'s reinstatement as CEO of [[Graystone Industries]] with the help of the [[Ha'la'tha]] drives Vegis to kill himself, presumably dealing Vegis Corporation a major blow. As [[Graystone Industries]] now legally possesses both the [[U-87]] and [[meta-cognitive processor]] technology, as well as the military U-87 contract, Vergis Corporation is presumably at a severe disadvantage to its competitor.
