I Have the Shadow files, and what you have mentioned is covered in the
listing. Also in addition is the inclusion of areas of influance, ie what the
corp makes and how much. Needless to say that some of this info is fairly
clear (ie ARES making huge amounts of armements), but others about the
less well know areas such as cyberwear, agriculture, and magical research
can be suprising.

Oh and the security is broken down into Matrix, Physical and Magical.

I, too, have this book, and I've found that if you want to do a run
involving a corp/the corps, this book is a treasure trove! Even if
you don't have a particular reason for using it, I find it provides a
little well-needed insight into the way the corps work. Even the
little Shadow Talk comments are a real joy. Well, enough of my
pointless babbling, the subjects are:
1-Do you wish to order by mail straight from FASA? If so, I could
easily send you the address you can send away to for a catalog. The
catalog covers everything (Mechwarrior, Earthdawn, Renegade Legion,
Shadowrun, etc.) as far as I can remember, and though you hardly get
any special discounts, it helps when you just _can't_ find that one
book. (or two books, or so on....it has everything y'need, chummer!)
2-If you wish to have any info pertaining to a corp right away (or
anytime) then just ask....I'd be happy to send the info to you. I can
definitly satisfy you on the criteria above (Size, security, all that
drek) and maybe give you more specific details if you ask. BTW,
that'll mostly only go for the Big 8 corps, because they are the only
ones REALLY focused on in the book. (Aztech, Ares, Fuchi,
Saeder-Krupp, Mitsuhuma, Renraku, Shiawase, and Yametetsu...whooo,
glad I can remember all of 'em.)
