velocis

Velocis is a fictional technology company and transport program used in speculative fiction and role-playing games to explore rapid urban mobility. The name is derived from the Latin velox, meaning swift.

In its fictional setting, Velocis Dynamics was founded in the late 21st century and grew into a multinational focused on high-speed, autonomous transport systems and energy storage. Its flagship system, the Velocis SR-1, is a modular personal aerial vehicle designed for rapid, point-to-point travel within and between cities. The company also develops a city-wide network of automated hubs, known as the Velocis Corridor, and an AI routing platform that optimizes routes for safety and efficiency.

Velocis is typically depicted as a publicly traded technology group with extensive research and development facilities, coordinated through a central executive committee. The narrative around Velocis often engages with themes of rapid urbanization, data privacy, airspace management, and the social impact of high-speed mobility, including concerns about safety, noise, and inequality.

In fiction, Velocis appears across novels, games, and media as a symbol of technological acceleration and the tensions it creates for cities and citizens. Its stories are used to explore regulatory frameworks, infrastructure requirements, and the human dimensions of living in a world where speed is a primary design driver.
