Russo-American Mercantile (RAM)

The Russo-American Mercantile (called RAM for short) is located on the planet Mars (which is owned by RAM), in the same solar system as the planet Earth, capital of the Earth Alliance and original homeworld of the species known as Humans. As a corporation, RAM is interstellar or intergalactic in scope and is engaged in a wide diversity of economic activities. It controls certain planets and solar systems outside the Earth Alliance, and is a political/economic rival of the Ferengi Alliance and the Hutts (see Hutt Space). RAM is a leading manufacturer of Droids. It is also involved in trade with the Romulan Star Empire, the Centauri Republic, the Narn Regime, the Neosapien Commonwealth (see Neosapiens) and to a lesser extent the Klingon Empire, the Autobot faction among the robotic Transformers, and the worlds under the direct rule of the Universal Church of the Celestial Sun. RAM is also opposed by the Cylon Empire because of the corporation's close ties to the Earth Alliance and the Universal Church faith of many of it's workers.
