TAS Corp. was the main antagonistic faction of Meta Runner.
It is a world-renowned gaming tool production company inside Silica City, the backbone of gaming society itself, seen in the series Meta Runner. It was headed by Derek Lucks until his death.
The company seems to be based around the production of gaming hardware, tools and enhancers, and is also known to be the producer of top-quality cybernetic arms to which people who own them are known as “Meta Runners.”
However, it is also known to be corrupt and shady as well, with rumors of unfair contracts given to Meta Runners and are known to move forward by any means necessary. They also hire mercenaries or private military contractors to handle any illegal operations that require hired muscle.
An alternate version of the company named Sher Corp appears in the 3rd season as part of Dr. Sheridan's server.
During the news broadcasts shown in META RUNNER - Global Testfire // Final Season: Ep 6, more information about the fate of TAS Corp. is revealed following Luck's death. Among them, Lucks has had all of his rewards and accolades posthumously revoked, TAS Corp. has gone bankrupt, investigations into abuse allegations are still ongoing, and banks are scrambling to sell their remaining assets in the company.
During the same broadcast, Sheridan launched Sher Corp as a replacement to the company while revealing to the world that he was the person that actually created the Meta Runner arm while warping every Meta Runner in the world into his server to test run his technology on human beings.
