History & Background (Dossier)

Computer Research and Development: Storm's uncontrolled enthusiasm drove the company to the edge of receivership, but in 1101 at Centrum a major breakthrough in computer technology was made when "Mad" Marvin Hauk successfully grew organic brain cells in vitro making possible the Logical Heuristic Processor (Organic) series of computers . The LHeP(Or) has proven to be the turning point in Delta's fortunes.

• In 1104, using a specially augmented version of their own LHeP(Or)IX/Imp, Delta Research turned out the first successful E-Circuit Modules . The testing and subsequent installation of the seventh E-Circuit Module on an Imperial courier in 1106, "Suki", resulted in the title of Noble Baron being bestowed upon Storm, now hault-Storm.
