RAMTech Industries (RAMTch) was a defense contractor in the Lyran Commonwealth. Specializing in laser weapons, in 3050 it started producing extended range models.

Overview[edit]

RAMTech Industries was created in the late 2800s when Mannheim OptiTech Unlimited purchased Rassal Weapons and Anderson Arms, two major weapons companies on the verge of bankruptcy. The new company, RAMTech, focused on producing quality laser weapons for the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces' aerospace units. They produced enough weapons to remain in business for the next two hundred years. In the late 3050s they retooled several of their production lines to produce Star League equivalent weapons. There were persistent rumors in 3067 that RAMTech was looking at producing a series of lasers for ground-based units in conjunction with Doering Electronics, but nothing had been decided by the time of the Jihad.[1] While the company introduced a Extended Ranged Medium Laser to its portfolio, production would be halted during as the fighting of the Jihad intensified, only resuming shortly before 3077.[3]

Previously based out of West Hansinger on New Kyoto as of 3067,[1] the corporate headquarters had moved to Oshaktu (still on New Kyoto) by 3130.[2]
