- "Father didn’t have employees. Or assistants. And for that matter, he didn’t have heroes either. Every person, living or lost, was a collaborator, and that included his children."
- — Clovis Bray II[1]
Clovis Bray (abbreviated as C.B. in its logo)[2] was a Golden Age exoscience corporation founded by Clovis Bray I.[3] Clovis Bray I himself and his progeny, the House Bray, played key roles in the corporation's research and technological advancements, including the development of engrams, SIVA, the Warmind Rasputin and the creation of exos. Having vast resources at its disposal, the corporation built a number of research installations across the Solar System.
Overview
Clovis Bray was responsible for the construction of the Dust Palace on Mars as well as assisting in the funding and subsequent construction of Freehold.[4] The Crucible map Blind Watch is located atop an old Clovis Bray facility on the outskirts of the city,[5] and Skyline is situated within the Clovis Bray Health Center.[6]
History
The organization was responsible for a number of cutting-edge scientific and technological breakthroughs throughout Golden Age including "Transmission" and SIVA. While Transmission was intended to enhance the strength, speed, and intelligence of prospective colonists using nanomachines, SIVA used nanomachines to break down matter and reconstitute it in order to rapidly construct entire cities. With the Transmission project eventually being shuttered after it caused unforeseen side-effects in test subjects, Clovis Bray focused entirely on SIVA, which was subsequently completed and approved for deployment.[7] During SIVA's development, Dr. Zarin Shirazi's confidence in SIVA's capabilities led her to neglect adding safety measures such as a kill switch. Following an incident where a test subject was made mute by the effects of SIVA, however, Zarin resolved to propose a failsafe for future nanotech development.[8] Upon SIVA's completion, the first SIVA replication chamber, Site 6, was built within the Cosmodrome in order to outfit the colony ships.[9]
By the time of the City Age, the work and surviving records of Clovis Bray had attained a near-mythical reputation, with some going so far as to assert that the corporation single-handedly sustained the Golden Age and was an epitome of innovation.[10] During the Owl Sector's investigation of the Transmission incident, however, previously suppressed Clovis Bray records were uncovered, revealing the conglomerate to be more reckless in their pursuit of new advances than previously assumed.[11]
The corporation also helped fund a colony and create laboratories and factories in the frozen moon of Europa during the Golden Age. After the Collapse, the Fallen House of Salvation started looting the ruins of Clovis Bray colony and laboratories.

Trivia
- The Clovis Bray icon looks incredibly similar to the real Commodore International Corporation's logo.
Due to the nature of the corporation's experimentation and scientific discoveries, Clovis Bray is considered to be a very unethical, immoral organization. This is mainly due to the exoscience project, which altered humans permanently and often with unforeseen consequence, along with the creation of SIVA. Both led to a death and destruction in its wake.
