• Name: Wisp Innovations
• Tag: [W]
• ID: Cryer Pharmaceuticals ID
• IFF: Cryer
• Base of operations: Atka Research Station
• Home system: Sigma-17

Summary

Wisp Innovations is an apolitical Cryer subfaction based off Atka Research Station. Our goal is to bring a bit of non-conventional roleplay to the unique Cryer ID, diverging from the common trade faction role play and gameplay. In addition to the regular scientist roleplay, Wisp is also heavily ideological, believing that Outcasts and all those who support them are a direct threat to the existence of humanity. The company is administrated by a shadowy organisation known simply as The Board, with the CEO fulfilling a representative function. The faction is divided into three main, mostly independent sections:

• Main Division - focused on researching new technologies and scientific development of the faction. It also includes various other company assets that don't go beyond our stations.
• Logistics Division - whose task is the transportation of various Cryer-produced goods to the Houses and developing the economy of Wisp. The escort fighters are also a part of the Logistics section.
• Security Division - an elite squadron of fighters whose main objective is to interrupt Cardamine influence in Sirius. The SD also serves as the main target for Wisp's research on human-enhancing drugs and technologies, to aid them in battle against our enemies.

In addition to the above, Wisp also owns a majority of shares in several smaller companies. Those companies fulfil more specialised roles and they don't have any substantial in-game presence (i.e. don't exist as actual in-game factions).

• Kellis Biotech - a company originating from Cambridge, it manufactures medical equipment and Med-Stasis Bands.
• SYNC - a media company which Wisp Innovations adopted as a PR outlet. SYNC releases scientific press information and news, often related to the company.
• Sitka Station - a modular research station (POB) owned and maintained by Wisp Innovations.

Faction goals

• To stop the advancement of Cardamine in Sirius by any means possible.
• To explore the concepts of transhumanism, enhancing human bodies through pharmaceutical and physical means.
• To advance and widen Wisp's, and by extension Cryer's, influence.
• To defend Atka Research Station from any threats.
• To break the boundaries of knowledge through development of science.

Completed projects

Project Sundew

• Involved factions: Kusari Naval Forces, Kusari State Police, Kusari Government
• Summary: Sundew was a project focused on creating a Cardamine rehab clinic aboard Fuchu Prison. Wisp provided the materials, supplies and human resources for the facility operation. The clinic is used for Golden Chrysanthemum and Outcast pilots captured in Kusari.
• Documentation: (Lost due to the forum rollback.)

Project Eden

• Involved factions: Samura Industries
• Summary: Eden was a prelude to the biggest agenda of Wisp - Vergil. We collected resources to expand Atka with a new lab that would allow for manufacturing of nanobot-bacteria hybrids.

Defence of Atka

• Involved factions: Corsairs, Bounty Hunters Guild
• Summary: Atka is a small station in the middle of nowhere and while Cryer and Wisp security wings can protect it from smaller threats such as single pirates or smaller groups, eventually there would be a need to protect it from a larger assault. Wisp made sure that even in such a circumstance, the research station has nothing to worry about.

Project Snowflake

• Involved factions: Liberty Police, Inc.
• Summary: LPI has contacted Wisp in order to construct Cardamine treatment facilities aboard prison stations Huntsville and Sugarland.
• Documentation: First Contact - Project Snowflake

Ongoing projects

Project Vergil

• Involved factions: O'Rhu Cell, Ageira Innovations
• Summary: Vergil is a project focusing on creating a brand of bacteria-nanobot hybrids that are designed to stay in the human brain, track the neural signals and send their own, effectively creating a computer interface with the brain.

AlderFluid

• Involved factions: None yet.
• Summary: AlderFluid is a performance-enhancing drug derived from long-term studies of Cardamine and other drugs. AlderFluid is injected directly to the user's bloodstream with single use syringes. The drug is then removed from the body within thirty minutes. The effects of AlderFluid include improved focus, alertness, memory, oxygen-carrying capacity of blood and steadier hands. AlderFluid is still undergoing testing and is not distributed to anybody outside the Security Division of Wisp.
• Documentation: Information (Work in progress.)

Project New Life

• Involved factions: Independent Miners Guild, Cryer Solutions
• Summary: New Life is a project started by the Independent Miners Guild to intercept Outcasts, Cardamine smugglers and slave haulers passing through the Taus. Cryer is currently in progress of constructing another Cardamine rehab clinic for the IMG.

Sitka Station

• Involved factions: Corsair Trade Company, Council of Elders, Ageira Innovations
• Summary: Wisp has constructed a POB in an Omicron system which will serve as an independent haven for various scientists. Unlike Atka, Sitka is as a whole owned by Wisp Innovations.
