Violet Systems (ヴァイオレット システムズ, Violet Systems^?) is a robotics company, first appearing in Tekken 4, founded and run by Lee Chaolan in his public persona as Violet.

The company focuses on building state of the art androids, and it is Lee's vision that robots will one day serve humanity and help humans out with everyday chores, making the world a better place. At present, most of the robots Violet Systems make, however, appear to be Combots built for fighting, although they do have other recreational uses as well. The company is based out of The Bahamas and also has at least one research facility in Brazil, and others likely in Tokyo. The company has considerable wealth, as shown by its ability to fund massive external projects, detonate its own facilities without financial concern, and its numerous assets, such as spy satellites and helicopters.

Story

Lee entered the Fourth King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to show off a new model of Combot that Violet Systems had built, hoping to launch his company onto the world stage with a martial demonstration of his robot's success. Canonically, Lee was defeated by Kazuya before he got to show off Combot. Non-canonically, Lee is shown fighting his Combot, and after some initial problems with the robot's stability, its martial ability is successfully demonstrated.

Violet Systems became a business stock partner with G Corporation, after Lee bought shares in G-Corporation. Lee hacked into G-Corp and discovered that Heihachi and the Mishima Zaibatsu were interested in research happening there and had raided their laboratories. Lee bought shares in the company whilst Kazuya was still a secret research project being conducted by the company. It is known that once Kazuya took over G-Corporation as CEO, Lee stayed in close contact with Julia Chang, a G-Corp researcher, who provided Lee and Violet Systems information on G-Corporation. She was broken out of G-Corp after she was captured spying on them and remains an acquaintance of Violet Systems. Lee asked Lars to break her out, and subsequently felt indebted to his half-brother, agreeing to fix Alisa for him when she was later broken, and marking the beginning of a closer working relationship between Yggdrasil and Violet Systems. Lee used his shareholder status in order to investigate G Corporation and in order to get preferential treatment at the sixth Iron Fist Tournament so that he could get close to Kazuya.

Violet Systems has been funding Lars's rebel army, Yggdrasil, since they first rebelled against the Mishima Zaibatsu and Tekken Force. Lee provided them with facilities in Northern Europe where they initially consolidated power. Violet Systems also provides a number of facilities to serve as a secret hideouts for Lars and Yggdrasil. In the events of Tekken 7, Violet Systems is revealed to have a medical facility within the robotics company itself where Jin is recovering from his coma, following Azazel's defeat. At one point, Lee detonates a Violet Systems building after leading Tekken Force into a trap there. The company also possesses at least one spy satellite, from which Lee, Lars, Alisa, and the Journalist were able to see the final showdown between Kazuya and Heihachi at the volcanic pit. Lee is an accomplished robotics engineer within his own company, as shown when he personally repairs Alisa, a much more advanced android than those currently built by his corporation.

Violet Systems continued aiding Yggdrasil in the six months after Heihachi's defeat, providing them with weapons, battlesuits, and a flying boat with the help of Alisa's father, Doctor Bosconovitch. During "Operation Lightning", one of Violet System's spy satellites was destroyed by Kazuya in his devil form, shortly before he announced the eight tournament.

Violet Systems also features as a stage in Scenario Campaign mode in Tekken 6.

In Tekken Tag Tournament 2, the Fight Lab mini game takes place in Violet Systems. Players can learn how to play the game here, mimicking the in-story purpose of the lab as a place for testing combots. An ending movie on completing the Fight Lab (which is also Violet's ending movie) shows Lee and the completed Super Combot DX being used against Heihachi, Kazuya, and Jin.

Violet Systems is also a stage in Tekken 7 and featured in its story mode. The stage shows a large fusion generator and advanced robotics equipment.

Trivia

• The Violet Systems stage in Tekken 7 shows both human and mechanical specialists working in the robotics laboratory.
• The logo has a resemblance to the logo of Valve Corporation's internet-based digital distribution and social networking platform Steam.
• The company and its attempt to program a new Combot model act as the setting for Tekken Tag Tournament 2's tutorial mode, Fight Lab.
• According to Lee's scenario campaign dialogue he invested in the revitalization of the city that holds the Electric Fountain and the Seahorse Grand Hotel, to help it grow and attract tourists.
• Lee refers to the main Violet Systems building featured in Scenario Campaign as his "palace".
• Heihachi seems surprised and irritable that Lee has managed to build up Violet Systems on his own, presumably because he expected Lee to amount to nothing once he had exiled him from the Mishima Family for siding with Kazuya after Tekken 2.
• Kazuya seems annoyed that Lee has managed to build up such a successful corporation, remarking on visiting Violet Systems: "Damn you, Lee. You might think you've outflanked me, but I'll show you how wrong you are", indicating that their rivalry is ongoing despite the time that has passed.
• Violet Systems also has a number of androids working at it, including security guards that look very human (visible in Tekken 6 Scenario Campaign, as they spark when knocked unconscious). A number of characters remark that they are impressed by Violet Systems all-robot security.
  • Lee's Secretary was confirmed to also be an android. She has a highly functional artificial intelligence but limited to no combat ability.
• As of Tekken 6, it is widely known that Lee Chaolan is the head of Violet Systems within the Tekken universe. Prior to this, the CEO was known publicly only as 'Violet'.
• Violet Systems may have its own fashion line called 'Violet'. In Tekken 7 Lee's watch in his primary outfit has the brand-name "Violet" on the face, and a silver label at the back of his Preset 1 outfit also says "Violet". He also has a customized "V" belt buckle in the same outfit.
