DataDyne emblem

The dataDyne Corporation is an organization that specializes in military, research, and commercial production for its contractors. Alongside being its business rival, dataDyne is the sworn enemy of the Carrington Institute.

Founded by Zhang Li and headed by CEO Cassandra De Vries, dataDyne's rise is secluded in mystery, but now it is well known for its huge funding projects and private military activities. However, the corporation is also known for its dodgy criminal activities, which had put it under the spotlight of the Institute whom Daniel Carrington launched mission investigations in its practices for Joanna Dark and her allies in an attempt to stop dataDyne in its tracks.

The organization has its own personal staff base, including a major research team, a vast army of military-trained personnel, personal bodyguards, and a fleet of venerable vehicles.

The Skedar are dataDyne's allies, though it is eventually revealed that they intended to betray them and vice versa.

After Carrington Institute: Defense, the dataDyne forces became completely exhausted. The corrupt corporation is ultimately destroyed for good when Mr. Blonde put a powerful Skedar Bomb on the elevator connecting the labs upon capturing Cassandra for her failures and "crimes against the Skedar", in the mid-story bonus mission Mr. Blonde's Revenge.
