Where does the Zurich-Orbital Gemeinschaft Bank stand in the order of megacorps?  Are they AA?  If they get froggy, can they dictate to a AAA megacorp?  Are there any high-tier creatures like dragons or elves associated with the bank?

They're owned by the AAAs (All of which have an equal share), and is the basis of power for the Corporate Court.  They, literally, control the Nuyen.  Period.  Fragging.  Dot.

It's like a subsection of the Corporate Court, but cannot dictate to the AAAs in any way without the Court's order.  Usually that would be to not extend credit for, say, Renraku needing Cred to pay the UCAS for liberating the Archology.

They're also the final voice in what is a Nuyen, what isn't.  The buck, literally, stops there.  If the Z-OG says your Nuyen is counterfeit, it's fake and you're going to meet Bubba The Love Troll.

According to some sources it's run by Gnomes who oppose the Immortal Elves.

The sheep suggests she's coming to terms with aging and her own limited time on Earth. It's an embrace of the inevitable cycle of death and rebirth. The sheep is transcendent.

Not even close.

Is there any other info regarding this bank?  People associated with it?  I assume it has extraterritorial status, a para-military security force and SOTA cyber-defences?

And land-based offices other than just Zurich?

The most recent look in detail is in Corporate Guide. It has two terrestrial headquarters: Zurich, where the original Zurich Gemeinschaft Bank is located; and Washington, FDC, where the World Bank and IMF were located. It also has a significant presence in the Corporate Court Towers in Manhattan, the Court's terrestrial HQ. The DeeCee headquarters complex also includes the Corporate Court embassy and other offices. I can't recall the setup in Zurich offhand, but in DeeCee exterior security is also supplemented by the FedPols because of the UCAS obligation to protect foreign chanceries. Matrix security is provided by GOD.


I wrote the original wiki entry, but haven't touched it in years. But that should give you a good idea about how Z-OG Bank works. http://shadowrun.wikia.com/wiki/Zurich-Orbital_Gemeinschaft_Bank
