What is Ravenwood?
The Ravenwood Group is a multi planetary megacorporation that was founded in 2001 by Tod Vlodovic after The Great Mistake took the lives of nearly 3k citizens. By 2030 the corporation grew to be multirole instead of just a private security firm, and by 2040 had beaten several planetary states and corporations to Mars and beyond.
The nightmares of the 2070s however became a clean cut state of affairs, becoming a corporate colonial state within Sol and had founded several alliances throughout the system, and had also gained several enemies within the system as well, one such entities being Nanosoft.
The corporation has become quite renowned for several things in recent history, such as the advent of putting Humankind beyond Sol on its own power in the invention of a Fujian-Ichikawa FTL Drive, a primitive design compared to most intersolar empires, but nonetheless, the device worked as intended, sending five ships toward Proxima Centauri after confirming for the 19th time that indeed there is a habitable world there.
So far, Ravenwood, and by extension its colonial assets, controls Io, Ganymede, Calisto, and Europa in addition to Mars, Phobos and Deimos. There has also been plans to put a habitation station in orbit of Earth as well to further make life in space more ideal for some.
At current, Ravenwood has approximately 828 million employees across the system, with around 62 million on Earth alone, making the Ravenwood United Armed Forces the second largest army on Earth with approximately 7.7 million active personnel with a sizable reserve stance across all seven continents.
Ship design in terms of "looks" are UNSC and Caldari (EVE Online) ships, with heavy modification to make them more sensible and believable.
The current corporation GDP is around 18.62 Quadrillion in terms of value, with expected growth to continue unimpeded.

Alongside the intricate workings of Ravenwood exists a few other factions within the megacorporation itself. These are, of course, those factions as they stand.
Special Forces Group FOXHOUND - A special forces group that was formerly an American asset that went rogue during the Second American Civil War. They gained access to a storage facility in a remote archipelago in Alaska that housed nuclear warheads, as well as a bunch of nightmare causing projects that should have stayed buried... Such as the Supersoldier Genome Project, and the MG REX Project. After the war ended, Ravenwood took these rebels down, and incorporated their unique methodology into their own Darkzone Special Forces.
The Diamond Dog Group - These PMC operators are from all walks of life, and have proven themselves to be effective in dealing with the nightmares of the battlefield without much of a losing game. If one ever goes up against a Diamond Dog, it is likely that person will never breathe another breath, as they're renown warriors that should not be trifled with. These soldiers do not need vehicles, or air support to win wars, which has been proven time and time again to be true, as everything they need is right there in the hands of the enemy.
Ghost Company - "You'll never see a Ghost" is the motto of these mercenaries. Their prerogative is to get in, do the dirty work, and exfiltrate before anyone knows what is truly going on. Truly, like a ghost. These former American Army soldiers are something of a legend to have on one's side.
Castlebuilders - These Mercenaries are less about destroying enemies and more of an NGO that has collared itself to Ravenwood to build wartorn and strife-addled countries and communities back up again after the shooting has stopped. However, do not be fooled by these lot, as they are just as capable of putting someone down like a rabid animal as the rest of them.
Blitz Company - German-borne Armor Aces that came to the call when Ravenwood demanded it. These tankers are capable of taking to the battlefield and turning the tide of battle in ways that would not be possible in most modern militaries. They consistently poach new blood from nations all around the world, and do their damnedest to keep the world safe, given the price is right of course.
Unit 112 - These pilots are the Angels of the allied forces, and the Demons of the enemy. Formerly Russian Airforce pilots turned international mercenaries for hire, they take their jobs very seriously, and do not have any love for those that dare stand against them. They tend to pull off some of the most daring, insane missions on the planet, and don't mess around with the business of war.
