In fact, the SRrpg book "corporate download" is in the process of
being written, and will focus on subject's like that. Black op teams
would, in SR parlance, be Shadow teams composed of soldiers from a
corporate army- employees' not freelancers. Can't see how those would
work in SRTCG, but m,aybe it would be something like gangs.
Corp backed runners is an idea that will be used in Corp Download,
according to scoop at Gencon. Basically, affiliating with a certain Corp,
working for them regularly, would get you acsess to goodies and services
that normal runners copuln't get (as often). So in SRTCG, it might work
much like a gang membership special, or a contact / location.
