Xeracom
"Xeracom. Formerly the R&D of the Cykx empire gone rogue, now it is where most of the disgruntled Cykx defectives go. They're ruthless, cruel, and criminally insane. A breeding ground for insane science and an embarrassment for our dominion and what it stands for. Should you encounter a member of Xeracom, show them no mercy. The Vohx demand it." - Description of Xeracom deciphered from a Cykx marine handbook.
Structure
Xeracom is a scientific corporation that is led bureaucratically. It has a hierarchy of power with at the top the general head of operations and multiple levels of authority below including secretaries, head scientists, and branch executives. Xeracom is divided into several branches each conducting scientific research into specific topics to benefit the entire organization.
Public Agenda
Xeracom is only interested in conducting scientific research without being restrained by ethics and laws. They are unanimously outlawed by all countries and are well known to use involuntary live test subjects in their research.
Assets
Xeracom has access to several laboratories built far away from the general population. Most of their equipment is built on-site and as the dominant majority of their member base are scientists they have no real trouble constructing equipment safely usable in a laboratory setting. When Xeracom researchers find themselves in combat they tend to use the new experimental weaponry that has only been recently developed. For transport, they use standard vans and airplanes with a plain white or black paint job.
History
Xeracom has been around for as long as the Crystals of Zim have. Formerly their official R&D department that has been corrupted. They conduct unethical scientific research all over the galaxy while the Crystals of Zim hunt them relentlessly. All over the galaxy, laboratories are uncovered and shut down but the Xeracom higherups are a cunning lot. They plan their efforts with masterful efficiency and seem to have spies in a lot of their enemies as labs are pretty frequently evacuated before authorities arrive.
Demography and Population
As a corporation, the population of Xeracom is tracked by an employee manifesto. All mad scientists are welcome in Xeracom but the corporation itself is dominantly made up of Cykx defectives.
Territories
Xeracom has no permament base of operations, as they are hunted their laboratories are only used roughly a year before having to relocate to avoid capture. They tend to choose isolated locations, usually barren planets or continents far away from their enemies.
Military
There is a single security force within the Xeracom tasked with keeping specimens in containments and deter any intruders. Their security force typically uses equipment assembled by Xeracom itself.
Technological Level
Xeracom has developed countless forms of technology that are publicly used when altered. Energy shielding, electric arcing and even the precursor for teleportation was all technology that Xeracom worked on. Their technology is extremely advanced and this is the reason why the assaults on Xeracom laboratories are obligated to have Crystals of Zim support as the results of such an assault are unpredictable at best.
Religion
Religion is considered idiotic in Xeracom.
Foreign Relations
Xeracom has no solid long range relations with countries. Most of their income comes from black market sales.
Agriculture & Industry
Xeracom gets its raw materials usually from anonymous investors, black markets and search parties they send out when a new lab is assembled. They have little to no facilities solely dedicated to processing raw materials.
Trade & Transport
Xeracom uses an abundance of ways to trade with the black market but usually, it's through smuggling.
Education
Xeracom does not provide education but does expect it from members looking to join. Recruits are expected to at least have a bachelor's degree in their field.
Infrastructure
Xeracoms infrastructure rarely goes beyond building a somewhat fortified laboratory to work in.

Major Exports
Xeracom deals exclusively in technology types that are generally outlawed. Tyme production, disintegration weapons, and mind control weapons fall under this umbrella. They do develop weapons sometimes for their own malicious goals such as the revival machines from the mid-synthrise under Jayse Vulter.
Major Imports
Xeracom depends on anonymous investors and donators to develop the technology. Usually, they are funded in secrecy by empires or millionaires to develop technology that would otherwise be illegal. Using the funding they will purchase raw materials and anything else they might need.
