The History of ChronoCorp
The Humble Watchmaker
ChronoCorp had its humble beginnings in the Greater Americas’ Anglo-Russian Prefecture during the fall of 2038, when company founder Anatoly Asimov started his own wristwatch workshop. Using the skills he picked up as an engineer during the War of the Colours, Asimov successfully created cutting-edge wristwatches using limited resources. Through th
e years, Asimov’s company grew and acquired a wide range of high-profile clientele, including the friendship of business mogul Nicholas Erasmus, who in 2043, ended up investing a large sum of money in ChronoCorp with the hopes of expanding Asimov’s engineering expertise into more advanced fields of temporal management. The World’s First
On March 9, 2051, Asimov and his team of engineers publicly revealed the world’s first chronological distortion device: the time travelling pod “GAGARIN-1,” named after the famous pre-Solar Russian cosmonaut. Due to the universal appeal of the venture, investors from all around the world flooded ChronoCorp with further funding, which propelled the company further into the research and development of time machines and other chronology-related services. The Journey Begins
On October 1, 2072, ChronoCorp announced that it will be launching, with the help of its investors, the Phileas Diagonal Expedition. The voyage aims to traverse 8,000 different points in space-time and collect the mother lode of artefacts: items that do not leave any significant temporal footprint. The expedition will be composed of a team of various anthropologists, historians, holographers, and professional journeymen. On the day of October 2, the expedition began, with the team’s initial jump to Suez, Egypt (October 9, 1872). The team is expected to return with the mother lode to Chronocorp on December 21, 2172. The Phileas Diagonal Expedition is, to date, history’s longest-running diagonal journey. ChronoCorp Today (2113 AD)
For 75 years, ChronoCorp has been continuously designing and manufacturing cutting-edge time machines. By means of leading brands such as the GAGARIN Classic Series (which is currently the #1 consumer-level time travel machine) and the military-grade MAGELLAN Chambers, the company meets the increasing demand of diagonal travel with unmatched quality. And with thousands of licensed diagonal journeys serviced worldwide, ChronoCorp is still the leading brand in time management solutions.
