Companies

AEGIS wasn't the only company there was. They used the help of other companies to rise to power. Some were like branches of AEGIS, some were external, and so on.
== Companies ==
=== Roarkel ===
Roarkel was a company that was founded during the golden age alongside AEGIS more as a side project more than anything. As global wealth exploded people wanted to express it and the high quality clothing the Chairman sold was a great cash cow for him and allowed him to keep dedicating more and more funds to AEGIS and other priorities such as AEGAMI.. While the elitist clothing sold well throughout the golden age, as the second resource war drew closer people grew farther from luxurious suits and instead wanted protection.  As revenue continued to drop the Chairman considered dropping the project altogether as he no longer needed the secondary income, however, a joint venture between ARD and Roarkel would ultimately save the company entirely. In a stroke of genius Roarkel and ARD worked together to create clothes from Graphene, the strongest material known to man. Graphene was thin, flexible, and easy to create, ultimately creating a comfortable and yet incredibly protective suit for anyone who wished to take a sniper round to the chest and keep walking. Ultimately this joint venture would lead to Roarkel being contracted to create what we know as the AEGIS Combatics as well as pretty much any form of clothing worn by AEGIS today.
=== Behelium Robotics ===
Behelium Robotics was a former subsidary of the AEGIS Corporation which primarily manufactured armor and assisted in early cybernetic prototypes that would later become the basis of the Peacekeeper Special Forces. It is unknown how Behelium Robotics was destroyed, but some rumors state that it was subject to biological warfare. Only one active facility remains, that being the Behelium Robotics research outpost in the wasteland surrounding the Border, drawing the last remaining 'kWh's from old B-001X Titanium Battle Armor prototypes and electricity produced by solar panels (off the left of Jokeumbia).
=== AEGAMI Aerospace ===
==== Origins of the company ====
AEGAMI Aerospace was AEGIS’ first sister company and it was founded by the chairman to bring the world closer together via massive undertakings in the aerospace field. AEGAMI’s first major project was the establishment of a colony on Mars. With resources pooled from the Chairman’s own pockets and various governments that goal was met and humanity began spreading out and colonizing various parts of the planet. AEGAMI continued to pursue ambitious projects with the goal of bringing humanity together, culminating in the creation of a spacecraft meant to colonise Alpha Centauri, making humanity perhaps the first species in the universe to establish an interstellar civilisation. Along the way AEGAMI also pioneered many other things such as the VTOLs we know today, and interestingly AEGAMI also served as a colonial administration for the various colonies throughout the star system, although they have all since been overthrown. Ultimately while AEGAMI revolutionised both space and air travel, it still failed at its main goal which was to bring humanity together, and as the second resource war kicked off and the colonies declared independence AEGAMI faded into obscurity, having its funding cut massively. Fun fact, AEGAMI also began mass producing Standard and Advanced Infection Scanners used for biological screening.
The AEGAMI Aerospace company also created the Old AEGAMI mineshaft, which was abandoned after the war of the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is a canyon located outside of the AEGAMI mineshaft. It was formed by a huge windstorm that passed the highway back in the nuclear war. The windstorm caused 10 deaths and 29 injuries in total. It used to connect the whole mineshaft to the entrance of Roseweld. It used to have a big hallway that connects the sewer to the mineshaft. Everything got destroyed and only a big hole and a small part of the mineshaft was restored. Today, the mineshaft became a raider entrance, and connected with the sewers, eventually becoming a highly dangerous place for AEGIS Operatives. It's best that no one stays near the canyon, who knows if a second windstorm would strike again. Today, the mine shaft is used as an illegal entrance to the Border. It leads to the caves above, which eventually leads into the roof.
During a short war with a minor raider faction, AEGIS began to notice that the raiders often came from the caves area. Despite this, AEGIS was sure of the integrity of the concrete wall closing off the mineshaft. AEGIS sent MDF Unit Hotel-22 to investigate what is now known as "The Breach". Hotel-22 discovered that the floor of the sewer passage running over the mineshaft was destroyed, and that raiders could freely drop down to avoid the much more noticeable method of blowing up the mineshaft wall.
As a consequence of this, AEGIS installed a motion detector near the entrance of the hallway, and also installed an observation platform with an elevator to further defend against the raiders.
