Players who choose Diamond Real Estate as their Runner’s faction will start out in an apartment in the Plaza district.

Key figures

Eric Danmund is the boss of Diamond Real Estate. His close cooperation with the CityAdmin has secured his control over a majority of Neocron’s real estate. Some accuse Danmund of being eccentric, and stories of excesses and orgies circulate. Naturally, these rumors are all denied officially and believed to belong to a smear campaign.

The former male model Cecil Stone is the SysAdmin of Diamond Real Estate. In order to get the job, it seems he dazzled Danmund with his knowledge, and evil tongues say that he isn’t half as good as he pretends to be.

History

In 2746, after the property market had crashed because of the ‘Great Trek’, President Reza decided to transform the office for real estate property into a private society, in order to increase the enterprise‘s efficiency. As a result, Diamond Real Estate began to reap huge profits constantly. Under Eric Danmund’s direction, the enterprise flourished, and the business was expanded beyond the usual real estate dealings. A partnership with Tangent Technologies will certainly lead to new developments in home security.

Rumors

Most inhabitants are pleased with Diamond because it offers excellent service. The rumors about Eric Danmund’s lifestyle, however, could fill the largest data cubes. These include special visits to certain establishments of the Tsunami Syndicate as well as dubious social meetings in private clubs and much more. As a popular saying goes: “Do nothing that Eric wouldn‘t do”.

Dirty rumors also circulate about Danmund’s system admin, Cecil Stone. It is said that he definitely didn’t get the job because of his (in)abilities, but instead came to his position by much darker means. Neocron’s organized crime is very often brought into connection with his name…

Friend and foe

Generally speaking, a friend of the CityAdmin is also a friend of Diamond Real Estate, and you definitely won’t ever hear Eric Danmund praise the government’s opponents, like the Anarchy Breed or the Twilight Guardian. Diamond is strongly interested in keeping the present administration in office, as its business is completely based on the cooperation between the government and Diamond.

Apart from this, Diamond also maintains a strong relationship with CityMercs. Although the property market doesn’t offer frequent tasks for mercenaries, both sides are content with the occasional cooperation. An exception is the common arrangement of short-time contracts in order to protect and safeguard neutral locations that are used for negotiations of all sorts.
