![[Ronin International Logo.jpg]] In the beginning of the 21st century private military firms started to become more and more lucrative. One of the original giants, Blackwater U.S.A, became a staple among any industrialized countries military operation. During the corporate wars private military firm's business skyrocketed. Some cities even began to have the majority of their police forces made up from these firms. Blackwater U.S.A was acquired by the aeronautics and defense corporation, United Technologies, which in turn merged with NGHR (Northrop Grumman Honeywell Raytheon) to form Ronin International. They produce the most weapons out of any of the syndicates. They later diversified to include sizable automotive companies, cybernetics, and other fields somewhat related to violent conflict. Ronin International is the smallest of all the syndicates, but with a standing army of over 1,000,000 soldiers, it is respected. **Primary Industries.** Police and security, aerospace and defense, motor vehicles, cybernetics, robots, and telecommunications.
