District 23 (WARP Corp.)
WARP Corp., or W Corp., is one of the 26 Wings of the City, and is in control of District 23.
Overview
The District in control of W Corp., District 23, is infamous throughout the City, with its Backstreets being widely considered one of the most dangerous places to live in, and being often subject to turf wars and strife between Syndicates. The Backstreets of District 23 are also famous for its uncommon food culture, which centers around the use of human flesh in pursuit of the ultimate flavor. Restaurants often collaborate with Syndicates to organize kidnappings and murders to obtain fresh bodies to utilize in cooking.
W Corp. operates the WARP Train network that runs throughout the City, providing fast transportation between the Districts. The WARP Trains are powered by W Corp.'s Singularity, ostensibly a teleportation technology, that allows all trains to reach their destination within 10 seconds, regardless of distance.
Following the occurrence of an incident during Library of Ruina, WARP Corp. is experiencing reduced revenue due to decreased first class ticket sales, forcing them to expand economy class carriages. This, in combination with increased energy prices following the collapse of Lobotomy Corporation, is leading the Wing into increasing financial difficulties.
Singularity
While W Corp.'s Singularity is advertised as a teleportation technology, the functioning of WARP Trains relies on the combined utilization of two Singularities.
W Corp.'s main Singularity allows for restoration to a previous status: it functions similarly to a 'save point', being able to record the state of an object and return it to the recorded state, effectively undoing any changes made to it in the meantime. Within the WARP Train, this is used to scan and record the molecular structure and genome data of all passengers, storing the information and transmitting it to a restoration machine.
At this point, a second Singularity, which W Corp. had purchased from a fallen Wing, is used: this technology allows to open gates between dimensions. It is used to send the WARP Train into a parallel dimension, in which the time flow becomes massively dilated, causing passengers to experience thousands of years between departure and arrival. Thanks to a cooperation agreement with T Corp., WARP Trains are provided with a temporal preservation device, which collects the passengers' time so that no "time" effectually passes for the passengers, granting them unconditional immortality. This allows the Train to reach its destination without any time passing in the original dimension.
Within the Train, economy class passengers typically lose their sanity over the extended time, usually resorting to violence and self-mutilation. Upon arrival, W Corp. Cleanup Agents will identify and return the biomass from the passengers to their seats, then activate the 'load state' effect of the Singularity, reverting any physical and mental damage, and reverting the passengers' memory to its exact state at the moment of the recording.
First class tickets are available at a higher price, being often chosen by wealthy Nest dwellers under suggestion of people who know of the inner workings of WARP Trains: a first class ticket allows the passengers the use of flash-freeze hibernation pods, within which the passengers sleep over the extended travel time. Similar devices are also provided for Cleanup Agents in case of emergencies.
The dimension-ripping technology W Corp. purchased from the fallen Wing is applied to the weapons used by Agents of W Corp., allowing for the precise cuts necessary in their work of cleaving and reconstructing passengers.

Trivia
- Other W Corp. citizens and employees seen in additional Project Moon media include:
- The Abnormality Wayward Passenger and its associated E.G.O, Dimension Shredder, are related to WARP Corp. Both Wayward Passenger and those who equip its E.G.O wear the uniform of a Cleanup Agent and utilize dimensional rifts to attack from. The Mirror Dungeon event featuring the Abnormality describes it as lost between dimensions, with only the transport company who is at fault for making it this way knowing the truth of what happened to it.
- Wayward Passenger's E.G.O Gift, the Blue Zippo Lighter, is described in the event as having a Wing's logo on it, meaning it is likely official W Corp. merchandise.
- There is exactly one WARP Train station for every District in the City.
