Saeder-Krupp ÜberWelt

The SK grid is accessed through one of the most interesting icons on the Matrix. The megacorporation originally went with the traditional logo, but as others made their grid access points a statement, S-K followed suit. From the public grid Matrix, users look up to see a massive silver dragon flying over an Earth the diameter of its torso. The dragon’s claws sweep over the planet as it spins and its eyes scan the surface as if watching over the whole world. The icon changes slightly when viewed from the other grids as the dragon lands and its wings furl up over the globe resting in front of the majestic-looking creature.
Going inside the ÜberWelt is like getting shrunk down and landing on that Earth. The sky holds a ghostly visage of the dragon peering down over a world much like our own. The theme is Berlin, circa 1990, complete with fresh scars of a torn-down wall. The hosts sit inside the buildings lining the streets. The only non-historical piece is the S-K headquarters building that always sits in the distance representing the main S-K host as well as several hundred other corporate-sponsored hosts.

> Quite a few Matrix gangs are pulling on some even older German imagery. S-K runs a tight ship and stamps out anything they find but the gangs aren’t slowing. Not sure who’s trying to rile the dragon with this, but they’re doing a good job.
