Ventures Facilities are often space faring, and almost every sector in known space has some form of Venture establishment

The public reputation of Venture is skeptical due to their partnership with the AOC, however Venture has gained public favour with development of specialised robtics to assist in common day life, which proves to be a great help to those who purchase said products.

Venture was previously closely associated with smaller Corporations in business, however has since broken off from large business deals with them.

Venture has also collaborated with Tanabe Logistics, creators of MirAI artificial intelligence series.

Following the collapse of the AOC they lost their main customer, however were still able to keep afloat with every day business by selling technologies to smaller corporations and the common public. During the start of the 2100s Venture's new largest customer became the The Kalmar Union.

They are also secretly in trade with The Locustian Empire, producing aircraft designed by the nationalized Locustian company "Olympus Industries"

*Venture is indirectly (fully) responsible for the Plutonian megastructure disaster.*

## Controversies:

AOC Business partnership: Due to the publics opinion of the AOC being very divisive and often negative, Venture came under heavy criticism due to its business deals, despite this the public backlash did not last long enough to harm the companies income.

Colonial Safeguard prototype: Venture developed a powerful robot known as the 'Colonial Safeguard' in the early 2090s, the robot was stolen by terrorists upon its first launch in 2096, this resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocents, however the number has been significantly downplayed by corporation PR.

Worker Treatment: Venture has always been criticised for its treatment of workers, with lengthy hours and unpaid overtime that sometimes resulted in 12 hour work days. Venture began paying overtime in 2067 however this is still rather inadequate.

Pluto megastructure: A Technological breakthrough of 'self replicating metal' was made leading up to the mid 2090s, in 2096 a testing phase began on pluto where the P.A.S.S (Plutonian Automated Security System) was made in order to control the metal's construction efforts. Venture and the Plutonian administration lost control which resulted in the rapid engulfement of the entire pluto system. The effects of this are still visible to this day.
