DayEleven Tech Inc. is a military technology corporation operating on Lukyr Prime, known to develop Visual Shrouding technology. They operate at minimum one test facility deliberately left accessible to civilians in order to observe and record ordinary people's reactions to visual shrouding — an ethically and legally ambiguous practice they defend on the grounds that trespassers forfeit certain privacy protections.
Overview
DayEleven Tech Inc. is a military technology corporation that has only existed for a decade but is already massively lucrative — an unusual trajectory in an era where most corporations measure success in centuries and breaking into existing markets requires patience or makes dangerous enemies. The company's registered address is a test facility on Lukyr Prime that appears outwardly derelict.
Public records confirm the company exists, but online posts from multiple people who have encountered DayEleven describe similar experiences: stumbling into test facilities, being confronted by militarily-armored supervisors, and being coerced into settlements or arrangements to silence them. Some theorize DayEleven isn't a real company at all, though public records contradict this.
DayEleven has the authority to initiate criminal proceedings and to negotiate dispute settlements as an alternative to prosecution. Their test facilities are outfitted with state-of-the-art Visual Shrouding and Holographic Projection technologies. Supervisory staff — notably the DayEleven Supervisor — operate in full-body military armor that incorporates visual shrouding capability, allowing them to observe unseen and appear at will.
The company takes an expansive legal position: because trespassers enter illegally, DayEleven claims the right to film them and derive understanding from those recordings without their consent. They use initiated criminal proceedings as leverage to extract dispute settlement signatures or coerce non-negotiable "arrangements" that silence those who discover their operations.
Technologies
DayEleven is known to develop and deploy:
- Visual Shrouding — makes objects, vehicles, and personnel completely invisible to the naked eye while preserving all physical properties
- Holographic Projection — creates convincing three-dimensional illusions of entire spaces, crowds, and functional interfaces
Surveillance and Enforcement Capabilities
DayEleven demonstrates extensive surveillance capabilities: they track individuals across locations, know their full names and personal details, and have access to footage from buildings they don't ostensibly control. The DayEleven Supervisor appears wherever needed to enforce the company's interests, suggesting either a network of supervisors or sophisticated tracking and rapid deployment.
Story Involvement
Chapter 1 — Those Damn Adventures
Mara Winslett and Sam Lirean trespass into what appears to be a derelict building and discover it is a DayEleven test facility filled with invisible objects rendered via Visual Shrouding. After Mara powers on an invisible computer, the DayEleven Supervisor emerges — themselves previously invisible via armored visual shrouding — and informs them that criminal proceedings are already underway. Both trespassers sign a dispute settlement granting DayEleven broad rights over security footage in exchange for dropped charges.
Chapter 2 — Basement Concert
Mara researches DayEleven online and discovers unsettling facts: the company has only existed a decade but is massively successful, its registered address is the building they trespassed in, and others have posted about similar encounters. Sam suggests attending a concert in Mara's building to distract her from the investigation.
The concert venue proves to be another DayEleven setup — a Holographic Projection of a concert hall, complete with apparent crowds and information displays. When Sam and Mara sneak into staff areas and Sam assaults a security guard, the DayEleven Supervisor appears and reveals they have footage of the entire incident.
The supervisor makes a non-negotiable arrangement: Sam and Mara must cease all investigation into DayEleven, its employees, subsidiaries, and investors, and never speak the company name. If either breaks the arrangement, both face consequences. As they're escorted out, the holographic projection is deactivated, revealing the concert hall was an illusion and the real floor number was different from what was displayed.
Chapter 3 — Lordfall
Sam Lirean traces building number 317-9058 from an Alaphor census form (listed as the form number for reporting July visits to The Tremble) and infiltrates Building 317-9058, which is revealed to be a DayEleven facility. The building contains storage racks and offices with supplier invoices showing DayEleven purchases. Sam finds bloodstains on documents in the office, suggesting someone was recently injured there. Sam escapes through the emergency exit. DayEleven security cameras detect Sam's entry but personnel do not enter the building to apprehend them, suggesting they are avoiding something inside.
Chapter 4 — Unleashed
Sam Lirean traces a fifth DayEleven location — the ground floor of a skyscraper in the Southern Corporational District — after four prior visits to abandoned and already-scrubbed facilities. This location contains treatment rooms and medical equipment alongside offices, suggesting it served a medical or research function beyond the social experiments seen elsewhere.
Deep in the maintenance area, Sam finds a DayEleven operative (likely the DayEleven Supervisor out of armor) systematically destroying records and data chips in an acid vat. The operative confirms DayEleven is being shut down entirely — every location, not just this one. He believes Lordfall investigators getting too close prompted the decision, with "the man upstairs" (Kaiser) ordering all links between DayEleven and its parent company destroyed. The operative notes that the scale of Sam's presence across multiple facilities indicates someone has been monitoring and clearing evidence specifically after Sam's visits.
The operative confirms DayEleven has no connection to Sam Lirean's tracking profile — Sam's address and devices were never located, an anomaly he found remarkable. Sam kills the operative and recovers salvageable data from a pre-acid pile.
Open Questions
- What was DayEleven's actual relationship to Kaiser? A front company? A subsidiary?
- What was the medical/research function of the Southern Corporational District facility?
- What data did Sam recover from the salvaged chips?
- Are there DayEleven personnel still active after the shutdown order?
- What is the parent company that DayEleven was linked to?
- What happens to people who had arrangements with DayEleven — are those arrangements still enforceable?
