19. Saronic Technologies
Founders: Dino Mavrookas (CEO), Rob Lehman, Vibhav Altekar, Doug LambertLaunched: 2022Headquarters: Austin, TexasFunding: $850 millionValuation: $4 billionKey Technologies: Artificial intelligence, autonomous vehiclesIndustry: DefensePrevious appearances on Disruptor 50 list: 0 Defense startup Saronic Technologies is working with the U.S. Navy to design and manufacture autonomous surface vessels, to enhance national security in the maritime sector for both the U.S. and its allies. Through combining artificial intelligence, data analysis, advanced sensors and communication technologies, Saronic ships are built to endure challenging conditions at sea and respond to various forms of attack. In the past two years, the startup has released five smaller autonomous surface vessels, ranging from 6 feet to 60 feet long. The smallest model, the 6-foot Spyglass, is designed for tactical deployment through at-sea launches. Its larger 24-foot Corsair, released last October for urgent operations, has a range of 1,000 nautical miles, a maximum speed of over 35 knots, or 40 mph, and a payload capacity of 1,000 pounds. In April, it introduced two even larger vessels: Mirage, a 40-foot vessel with a range of over 2,000 nautical miles and a carrying capacity of 2,000 pounds; and Cipher, a 60-foot vessel with a range exceeding 3,000 nautical miles and a carrying capacity of 10,000 pounds. "We've been able to execute at a speed and a scale that hasn't been seen before in the maritime environment," Saronic Technologies CEO and co-founder Dino Mavrookas said in an interview on CNBC's "Closing Bell: Overtime" in February. In April, the company also acquired Gulf Craft, a Louisiana-based shipbuilder, to gain a foothold in a Gulf Coast shipyard and serve as production hub for its medium-sized unmanned surface vessel fleet, Marauder, a 150-foot autonomous surface vessel. The U.S. ship industry is ripe for disruption and innovation. Domestic shipyards built up to 25 ships per year back in the 1970s, but this number fell to roughly five ships per year in the 1980s and continues at a low rate while other countries, particularly in Asia, produce ships at much lower costs, according to a congressional report. The U.S. shipbuilding industry has been a focus for both the Biden and current Trump administration, for commercial ship and military security reasons. The U.S. Navy has lost ground to China in new naval builds, according to government reports. As the U.S. Navy continues to work toward a hybrid fleet of manned and unmanned ships, Saronic Technologies is competing with the likes of MARTAC and Maritime Applied Physics Corporation that are also looking to reshape naval warfare, and capitalize on new approaches to defense spending. Saronic Technologies secured major classified government contracts last year, along with acquiring a private lake to use for testing its autonomous surface vessels in Austin, Texas. In February, the company announced $600 million Series C funding, which quadrupled Saronic Technologies' total valuation in just seven months since its previous VC round. "It is our initiative to build the shipyard of the future, to invest billions of dollars into the defense industrial race, create thousands and thousands of jobs in the process and bring shipbuilding back to this country in a way that we haven't seen since World War II," Mavrookas said at the time of the latest fundraise, referring to its plans for what it calls "Port Alpha."

Honkai Star Rail Cipher Build Guide, Best Teams, Gameplay Tips and More
Image via: HoYoverse As a 5-star Quantum character introduced in Honkai: Star Rail 3.3, Cipher offers a unique combination of speed, debuffs, and delayed burst potential that can greatly influence battles. Whether you want Cipher built to debuff enemies, follow-up support, or sub-DPS roles, Cipher is a strong, flexible unit built to maximize total team damage. Cipher Overview: Swift and Strategic Cipher's combat style is based on action economy and debuff synergy. Naturally, as a unit of the powerful Nihility-path, her skills don't merely whittle down enemies — they erase enemy defenses, inflict vulnerabilities, and log damage for brutal delayed bursts through her Ultimate. Combined with natural SPD scaling and a CRIT Rate increase (50% from her Empyrean Strides), she acts before enemies almost every time while maintaining often-constant debuff uptime. Core Strengths Debuff Amplifier: Her kit debuffs enemies with DEF down and Vulnerability, letting the whole team reap the rewards. True Damage Dealer: With her recorded damage mechanic, Cipher provides a strong burst of usually ignored damage that gets shared across the targets. High SPD Utility: Hits hard and fast, frequently syncing nicely with DoT or secondary attack party setups. A COMPLETE Guide to Cipher! | Best Builds, Relics, Teams - HSR Best Cipher Build: Sub-DPS and Debuffer Hybrid Main Build Goal: Prioritize SPD and CRIT DMG, with enough Effect Hit Rate (EHR) to land consistent debuffs. Best Light Cones Best in Slot: Lies Dance on the Breeze – Provides DEF shred and SPD scaling, which all work in beautiful synergy with Cipher's 170+ SPD benchmark. F2P Option : Resolution Shines as Pearls of Sweat – Excellent for debuff teams, providing additional DEF reduction and supplementing her utility role. Relics & Ornament Sets: Relics : Pioneer Diver of Dead Waters — Must-have for teams with constant debuffs. Key to synergize with her ability to implant her own. Alternative Relics : Eagle of Twilight Line — Aimed at buffing her Ultimate and speed rotation for quicker debuff cycles. Ornaments : Firmament Frontline: Glamoth — Best for speed-focused builds (160+ SPD = bonus DMG). Lushaka, the Sunken Seas — Great energy regeneration and ATK buff support for DPS allies. Team Compositions: F2P Team: Cipher / Any DPS / Asta / Lynx Great for new players. Asta provides a speed buff to Cipher. Lynx brings the healing, and Cipher backs up with debuffs. Meta Acheron Team: Cipher / Acheron / Jiaoqiu / Aventurine For pure DoT comp, Cipher makes Slashed Dream stacks ramp up way quicker and debuffs make Acheron's damage spike. At E2 Acheron, replace Jiaoqiu with a Harmony buffer. Follow-Up Attack Team: Cipher / Feixiao / Robin / Aventurine Cipher's frequent turns and DEF shred improve consistency for follow-up units like Feixiao and Dr. Ratio. BEFORE You Pull Cipher! | Honkai Star Rail Cipher Guide Gameplay Tips Max her SPD at least 170 SPD to trigger her passive and maximize her turns. Balance Crit Stats With 50% CRIT Rate built into passives, aim to stack CRIT DMG. Synergize with Debuffers Because the mighty lady relies on debuffs to output her maximum damage and team utility, the more active, the merrier. Whether you're pushing endgame Memory of Chaos or synergizing with high-tier DPS units. No matter whether you agree politically with her or not, she's a worthy addition to any roster.

Editors Guild Protests Against Nonfiction Producer Story Syndicate At Tribeca Premiere Of OceanGate Submersible Documentary ‘Titan'
EXCLUSIVE: The Motion Picture Editors Guild (IATSE Local 700) has staged a protest against nonfiction production company Story Syndicate outside the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of its OceanGate submersible documentary Titan. Audience members were greeted outside the Village East by Angelika theater Friday evening by guild members distributing fliers that call attention to Story Syndicate's 'anti-union conduct' and put pressure on management amid contentious negotiations. More from Deadline Disney Layoffs Hit TV Development & Casting Executive Ranks Crew Strikes Against Terrence Howard Film 'Cipher' After Production Refuses IATSE Contract IBEW Touts "Landmark" New Tentative Agreement With CBS The MPEG brought charges of Unfair Labor Practices against Story Syndicate before the National Labor Relations Board in March, accusing the Harry & Meghan producers of refusal to bargain and bad faith bargaining. 'This company brands itself as a champion of progressive filmmaking,' Alan Heim, ACE, President of Motion Picture Editors Guild, said in a statement to Deadline. 'But when it comes to honoring the rights of the very workers who bring these stories to life, their actions tell a different story. Editors deserve respect, security, and a contract that reflects their value.' He continued: 'We support bold nonfiction storytelling, but the treatment of workers behind the camera should be just as bold, just as fair, and just as progressive.' The MPEG and the Writers Guild of America East won their joint effort to unionize producers and editorial employees at Story Syndicate in 2023. Since then, the MPEG says, management has 'repeatedly delayed negotiations, backtracked on offers it had previously placed on the table, and refused to budge from outrageous positions calculated to kill the prospect of a negotiated agreement.' The union also accuses Story Syndicate of insisting upon retaining the right to cut employees' weekly pay without cause or warning. This union action against the company comes about six months after the Editors Guild and the Writers Guild of America East jointly petitioned Story Syndicate to finalize a fair deal. At the time, more than 250 members of the unions called on the company to 'be the industry leaders they are and set a precedent others can follow to create a truly inclusive and transparent work environment.' 'Long delays, proposals that are out of line with industry standards, and refusals to respond to important proposals would not reflect well on the company's stated principles,' read the petition, which included signatures from Lilly Wachowski, John Walsh, Tom Fontana, and Josh Gondelman. Titan explores the story behind the OceanGate submersible implosion that dominated the news cycle for days in 2023. Directed by Marc Monroe, the film is set to premiere globally on Netflix on June 11. Story Syndicate was co-founded by Liz Garbus and Dan Cogan in 2019. It has become quite known for producing social impact documentaries and nonfiction series, such as Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer and Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna. Other projects from the company include Nuclear Family (HBO), I'll Be Gone In The Dark (HBO), and The Innocence Files (Netflix) as well as documentary features like Fauci (Nat Geo), Becoming Costeau (Nat Geo), Mayor Pete (Amazon), Britney vs. Spears (Netflix), and All In: The Fight For Democracy (Amazon).

Gen V Season 2 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Jaz Sinclair & Lizze Broadway's satirical superhero saga
Gen V Season 2 OTT Release Date: Brace yourselves, Godolkin University is back in session, and this semester, the syllabus includes blood, betrayal, and battle drills. In a world where capes don't mean kindness and campus life is more Hunger Games than Harvard, Gen V Season 2 storms back with more chaos, conspiracies, and character arcs that cut deeper than Marie's blood-bending powers. The satirical superhero saga is set to stream on Prime Video starting September 17, 2025. The season will kick off with a three-episode premiere, followed by weekly releases every Wednesday, culminating in the season finale on October 22, 2025. More about Gen V Season 2 Set in the aftermath of The Boys Season 4, the new season of Gen V plunges us back into the troublesome world of Godolkin University. The institution, now under the leadership of the enigmatic Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater), has shifted its focus from nurturing heroes to training Supes as soldiers. This militarised approach reflects the broader societal tensions, with the United States under the authoritarian influence of Homelander. Our protagonists Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), Emma Meyer (Lizze Broadway), Jordan Li (London Thor and Derek Luh), and Sam Riordan (Asa Germann) return to a barely recognisable campus. Once a place of learning, Godolkin has become a battleground of ideologies, with students subjected to brutal training exercises reminiscent of a dystopian fight club. Meet the cast and characters of Gen V Season 2 The ensemble also includes Maddie Phillips and Sean Patrick Thomas, with Hamish Linklater joining the cast as Dean Cipher, the new head of Godolkin University. Additionally, Chace Crawford reprises his role as The Deep from The Boys, further intertwining the narratives of the two series. The season also addresses the tragic passing of Chance Perdomo, who portrayed Andre Anderson. The production of Gen V Season 2 faced delays due to the untimely death of Chance Perdomo in March 2024. Filming commenced in May 2024 and concluded in October of the same year. The series is helmed by showrunner Michele Fazekas, with Eric Kripke, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg serving as executive producers.
