As part of the larger Sekiguchi Group, SEKGEN is focused on cloneware, neural syncing, biological modifications like vision augmentation and epidermal reinforcement, and iteration on biocybernetic SHELLS. SEKGEN has a practical monopoly on the SHELL market, from neural synchronization to the SHELLS themselves and the process for quickly manufacturing replacements. However, as SHELL technology spreads in usage, SekGen is facing new threats to its dominance. To combat the ever-rising tide of competition, SEKGEN is offering any RUNNER willing to risk the journey to TAU CETI opportunities to profit in exchange for their discoveries and any data they can collect from SHELL activity on a hostile, alien world. =================================================================== [RNNRqterm] || CyberAcme Systems, Inc. ///REDACTED///
About Codex in Marathon
The Codex is one of the most important progression systems in Marathon because it keeps track of the things that stay with your account over time. It covers achievements, collections, lore entries, cosmetics, titles, and other rewards tied to what you do in the game, and you can check it outside of your runs.
What makes the Codex stand out is that it is not just a lore menu. Marathon connects it to contracts, narrative items, and other in-game milestones, so the more you explore and complete, the more entries and rewards you unlock. It also carries over between seasons, even when things like gear, faction progression, contract progression, and player level reset.
