Tangent Technologies
Description
Tangent Technologies (Tangent) is the main weapons developer / manufacturer in the city of Neocron. Originally an internal division of Biotech Industries (Biotech), Tangent broke from its parent company in 2746. Its focus on the research and development of arms provided a such quality that City Admininistration uses Tangent weapons to arm their Copbot squads. The Tangent culture clearly revolves around personal safety and security. Their motto, “In guns we trust”, is really the perfect descriptor.
Headquarters
The Tangent Technologies headquarters can be found in Viarosso SEC-2, nearby the zone line for Viarosso SEC-3.

History
In 2658 Hester Gabun, one of the managers and founders of Biotech Industries founded a special department named Tangent.
Tangent's purpose was the development of highly effective new weapon systems. Due to the tense political situation in 2722, Tangent Technologies branched off from Biotech Industries and became an independent company. Damion Jordan was appointed manager. Two years later, Robert Jordan presented the key to the headquarters of Tangent Technologies Incorporated to his son Damion and retired to enjoy his old age.
In his will, he stipulated that whichever of his two sons (Seymour and Damion) could show higher sales for his enterprise (Biotech Industries and Tangent Technologies), would inherit both companies. Since then, Damon and Seymour have been engaged in a vehement struggle. The companies' balance sheets are almost equal, but Damon is slightly in the lead. In 2750 Tangent Technologies suffers severely from researchers and technicians opting out and leaving the company to join the idealistic Fallen Angels. This in turn does not really improve Damion's attitude toward the scientists.
