Arma Corporation

Arma Corporation (Russian: Корпорация Арма, tr. Korporatsiya Arma), known until 2567 as Servovosk Manufacturing, is a Veronian defense manufacturing corporation headquartered in the city of Talvik in the Republic of Syetla on the planet of Veronia. This corporation designs and manufactures a wide range of civilian, police, and military weapons including handguns, submachine guns, light machine guns, designated marksman rifles, shotguns, assault rifles, hunting rifles, and guided artillery projectiles. The Arma Corporation produces 99% of all firearms on Veronia and supplies to more than 23 planets around the Milky Way galaxy, making it the largest corporation native to Verono. Some notable products include the Novik (NA) assault rifle series (based on the Kalashnikov Concern's AK series), the ASW light machine gun series, the Sergeyev semi-automatic marksman rifle, and the CWS-11 shotgun. They are known for their low production costs, ease of use, and resistance to harsh environments.
47% of the corporation's shares belong to Walverik, while 53% of it belongs to private investors.
The corporation contains four firearm brands: "Novik" (combat and civilian weapons), "Ural" (hunting and civilian weapons), "Yamantau" (sporting rifles), and "Rusalka" (non-lethal weapons). It is developing new business lines that include rapid-firing grenade launchers and combat drones.
== History ==
=== First Years ===
In 2365, an armory in the city Servovosk was established by the order of First Premier of Syetla Dimitri Kravich and Vadim Sarkov, Chief Engineer of Syetla Construct, was put in charge of overseeing construction. Second Architectural Chief Simon Gebetz and Sarkov both developed a long-term plan of further growth of the armory. It would be expanded to the Tarkot River, allowing it to be in close proximity to Syetla Construct's headquarters in Talvik. This solved the raw material supply problems. 
Sarkov employed those who were poor and living in the lower districts of Tallvik. At that time, the poor were not restricted by the Low-Income Act, but had to work a lot of time inside of the armories, sometimes days at a time. Sarkov also employed the Chief Engineer of Darka Craftworks, located in the Republic of Darka on Veronia's satellite, Darka. In 2365, the armory produced it's first handgun, the SA-LP and it's first rifle, the SA-IR. 
The first weapon developed by the armory was the Servovosk Armory Infantry Rifle (abbreviated SA-IR), produced in the Summer of 2365. It was heavily based on Darka Craftwork's No. 17 Lightweight Bolt-Action rifle. In the winter of 2365, the rifle was later mass-produced for infantry equipping. This armory supplied the Imperial Veronian Army with over 8,000 of these rifles. The armory also produced a unique (and extremely hard to find) pistol exclusively for Syetla's cavalry units in the spring of 2366. It was named the M1 Cavalry, a variation of the already existing M1 series of pistols. Firearms were produced at a rapid pace for the Syetlanian Army during the Tiekev Rebellion, mainly during the Tiekevian Invasion of Syetla. Despite the armory still undergoing construction, the armory produced 1,000 rifles. In 2367, the output grew up to 3,000 firearms and 700 cavalry swords. 
By 2375, the construction of the main armory was complete. It had seven floors and was one of the final buildings to have been completed during the reign of Dmitri Kravich. The manufacturing process was multilevel, with preparatory works being done on the lower floors and weapons being developed on the higher floors.
=== 25th Century ===
Starting in 2401, the armory began to manufacture heavy weaponry, such as the "Yamantau" and "Tolbachik" siege rifles for the Volga Fleet of the Syetlanian Navy. In 2410, the armory transferred production of Yamantau and Tolbachik rifles to Ziyka, a nearby city resting just across the Tarkot River, redirecting their focus to standard firearm production. In 2416, the armory produced more assault rifles instead of bolt-action rifles. The armory also started using Manticore International's chimera mechanism for it's products in 2417. During the Aukland War, Servovosk supplied the Syetlanian Army with 250,000 rifles, with over half of them being automatic. By 2425, 60 years after the creation of the armory, over 500,000 sidearms and 254,000 rifles were produced. 
In 2437, the armory was reorganized into a lease and a private commercial enterprise. At this time, the armory was retrofitted with new machines to make production of weapons easier. This allowed the armory to begin producing Yamantau and Tolbachik rifles again, and begin producing the newest siege rifle, the "Potroshitel'". The Potroshitel' rifle was the most produced rifle at the plant for some time, indirectly allowing Syelta to approach the levels of other Veronian industrial empires' level of armaments. 
By 2450, production rate at the armory exceeded both the armories of Hetrovich and Seteresk. Later, when the methods of high-quality production were well mastered, Servovosk became the main source of gun barrels and receivers for other Syetlanian plants. In 2465, one hundred years after it's creation, it was returned to the state and became Servovosk Armament Development and Production (SADP). In 2476, SADP began mass-producing the Servic-Kreviresch rifle. The SADP also abandoned Manticore International's chimera system, considering it outdated and obsolete. They became the only Syetlanian enterprise that produced firearms for all branches of the Syetlanian military. Because of SADP, Servovosk became a large industrial center in Syetla.
