===[[Transcranial_Microcontroller]]===

{{quote|The Transcranial Microcontroller was originally developed by the School of Applied Knowledge with funds from several humanitarian organizations to help catatonics regain consciousness and resume their lives, though in a limited capacity. The microcontroller, which can be used both in humans and machines, proved to be a great success and the Ishukone corporation stepped in and bought the rights to the chip several months ago. Since then, further studies by Ishukone technicians have revealed several additional ways the microcontroller can be used as, such as control mechanisms in robots for industrial usage. Experts claim that the microchip does not offer higher efficiency in the robots compared to already established methods, due to its reliance of a biomechanical host system.}}


===Ishukone Controversy===

[[YC_106|YC 106 (March/April)]]:

{{quote|The Ishukone Corporation was once more embroiled in controversy when it emerged that a multi-billion ISK deal to supply the Khanid Kingdom with transcranial microcontrollers was intended to facilitate the devices’ use on slaves. As adverse comment erupted across New Eden, the Khanid Kingdom emphatically denied ill treatment of slaves fitted with the microcontrollers, giving examples of slaves voluntarily lining up to be implanted with the devices. Ishukone CEO Otro Gariushi was also moved to defend the practice, claiming the microcontrollers improved quality of life for the slaves. The CONCORD Inner Circle’s later ruling that the trade was legal dissatisfied many, but the chips continued streaming to the Khanid Kingdom unabated.}}

[[YC_111_July|YC 111 (July)]]:

{{quote|In the Amarr Empire, a controversy over transcranial microcontrollers erupted in the wake of closer unity with the Khanid Kingdom, where their use for slave control was quite common. Some hardline Amarrian traditionalist holders tried to have a case banning the use of the devices heard by the Theology Council. The Council declined to hear it, however, reaffirming that matters of slave control and discipline were for individual holders within the broad framework of the imperial and religious law. While the dispute prompted at least one hardline holder to move from the relatively liberal Tash-Murkon domains to the increasingly orthodox Ammatar Mandate, the major beneficiary of the publicity appeared to be Ishukone Corporation. The transcranial microcontroller manufacturer promptly offered bulk rate deals to all interested Amarrian holders.}}
