Overview[edit]
As the largest aerospace fighter manufacturer in the Outworlds Alliance, the United Outworlders Corporation had received most of the government's defense budget since the company commenced operations.[1] In the mid-twenty-seventh century, the corporation purchased a small aerospace factory on Ramora, which had been founded and owned originally as a communally-owned facility owned by the small population of Ramora. Having bought the factory, UOC expanded the planetside facilities on Ramora and then, in the twenty-eighth century, constructed the Ramora Shipyards in the Ramora system. As the Outworlds Alliance continued to expand through an aggressive colonization program the Alliance found it necessary to expand the small Alliance WarShip fleet, and Ramora Shipyards were well-positioned in April 2765 to become the foremost fleet docks in the Alliance.[2]
The company faced some challenges during the Succession Wars however, and used aid from the Draconis Combine from the 3020's. In the 3060's the company scored two key business deals: A partnership with Clan Snow Raven to build the Corax OmniFighter, and a contract with the Draconis Combine to provide Seydlitz aerospace fighters.[1]
The United Outworlders Corporation was attacked several times by the Word of Blake. Several strikes by the Inferno terrorist organization destroyed the workers habitats on Ramora and damaged the autocannon production line. The Word also led the Screaming Eagles mercenary unit to think that they were being attacked by forces based on Ramora. The Screaming Eagles responded by attacking the world. In addition, most people on Ramora think that the Word is responsible for a highly infectious and drug-resistant strain of influenza that has spread across the world.[3] By 3071, the company would with the aid of their nation's Clan allies, begin to produce the Star League BattleMech design, the Bombardier.[4][5]
The Mitchella plant took no damage during the Jihad and was operating at full speed in 3079. By contrast the Ramora plant lost half its staff and was only operating at 60% of its pre-Jihad level.[6] The Mitchella plant was located near an enclave of Clan Snow Raven and a new DropShip maintenance facility.[5]
