TriOptimum Corporation

The Tri-Optimum Corporation or simply Tri-Op, is a fictional multinational megaconglomerate within the futuristic world of the System Shock video game series. As is the case with corporations in many cyberpunk narratives, Tri-Optimum is immensly powerful; rivaling or surpassing many independent states in its influence. It also does not shy away from delving into morally questionable technological research and business practices, all in the name of making a profit.

History
By the year 2072, when the events of the first System Shock take place, Tri-Op is the largest corporation on the planet, literally ruling over millions on earth, and on colonies elsewhere in the solar system. Despite its power, the company is still the target of hackers, one of which (the player) is caught trying to remotely access files regarding Tri-Op's Citadel space station. To avoid prosecution, the hacker, under the instigation of corrupt Tri-Op executive Edward Diego, releases the ethical constrainsts on Citadel's AI SHODAN, causing it to go rogue. After killing most of the stations inhabitants, SHODAN was finally prevented from completing her various destructive plans (which included the total obliteration of the earth) by the efforts of the hacker, as portrayed in the first System Shock game.
