If you aren't a soldier you basically can do whatever job you want.

Drafted soldiers are forced to serve a random corporation for a few months, and assuming they survive they can later quit or become an independent mercenary and be safe from drafts. Essentially if there isn't a draft you're already a mercenary, you're exempt from being drafted. This colony is the best place to live, as the only downsides are you're forced to get special forces training, and you can be drafted as a mercenary to meet corporate quotas so your colony still gets resources from the corporations. Basically it'd do more harm than good to any group trying to wipe them out. Also destroying the colony is no easy feat as it is a massive fortified structure. Every civilian from the colony has elite training, so having the colony there acts as a double edged sword for every corporation since the mercenaries from that colony get the job done and are very useful, but they can be put against anyone at any time. The reason the corporations haven't destroyed the colony is because many non independent mercenary companies live there. The player, comes from an independent colony made by and for independent mercenaries. While the actual rich live in colonies on the moon untouched by the massive amount of fighting. The current year is 2021, and corporations have begun warring with each other over resources, and essentially grabbing civilians from corporately owned colonies to fight as mercenaries/corporate slaves.

The corporations essentially won in 2014.Īfter the corporations took over, they immediately broke apart and began taking areas of various countries for themselves. Because of the war most of the worlds nations collapsed it allowed corporations with private armies to band together to take over the remaining superpowers. My ravenfield world is in an alternate history where the cold war led to WW3 in 2007.
