Military Info
Military Doctrine: (What tactics does your military use when in combat? What kind of unit does it prioritize?)
The company infantry employes line infantry tactics (with flanking parties when necessary). Often the infantry will be lined in double columns for the battle with the front rank knelt down. If they have there Dp-28 style rifles out and the enemy has their electric vehicles out, they will activate the rifles emp feature to knock out the enemies vehicles and power using devices like laser rifles and ships and artillery. When the enemy get out of the vehicles the infantry will hurl mustard gas at them, fire off the flare, and then fire their laser rounds off. The flares will signal air support to come and the planes will bomb the enemy. In doing that strategy they aim to bring the enemy down to their own level of technology.

The company has a reputation for there terraforming prowess, turning many desert and rock planets and moons into jungle and grasslands covered worlds. The economy of there planets however relies upon 3 industries. The Fishing and Agriculture industry provides food and cash crops to the population. The mining sector provides fuel and minerals to the population. Finally the manufacturing industry is big for it's taking of the raw materials and processing it into a usable product, such as rifles, starships, or homes, among other examples.

Additional Info
History: The Knox corporation nation-state was founded about 30 years after the company that controls it. At first it was just a conglomeration of Knox sponsored vessels that landed on terraformed worlds that the Knox corporation owned. But when the outer rim of owned solar systems began to attack each other, the corporate navy nullified the conflicts by pledging protection and then assimilating their gov't. Around 30 years after with the territory firmly under control the company implemented taxation in order to pay for a military.
The company came into conflict with the 2 other rich companies in the area, the Earnest corporation and the Mipedim company, both of whom posed a threat to the company profits. The 20 year war followed after the first shots were fired following the Earnest companies attempts at corporate espionage. At the end of the 20 year war neither the Mipedim nor the Earnest corp remained and their assets were diverted to the Knox corporation, including within much of the autonomous solar systems that composes the outer reached of the Knox corps territory.
Without a real competitor within their land, profits soared, but culture and the utilized equipment of the military and law enforcement stagnated.
Culture: Deeply conservative the society that is established in the territory of the Mipedim operates on a societal division based on race and gender first and merit second. With Caucasian people acting as the managerial/ higher tier in society while the East Indians operate the manual labour/ lower tier areas of society. Men are employed in most of the jobs.
Baseball, chess, and bowling are the most popular sports in the society. Sunday is a day off for all non-essential services. Company benefits and pensions is a tradition adhered to in most contracts. The society has a culture of maintaining appearances and therefore when in public most people try and look nice (collared shirts and dress pants/M, Long skirts and shirts/W), unless they're doing manual labour in which case they wear practical apparel. An emphasis on individuals is given, more specifically on individual honesty, honour, and integrity - To the extant where the Mipedim Bank would lend out money on legitimate contact info and a handshake promise to pay back the money.
The favoured music is classical/big band, and doo wop but others exist as well. The national instrument is the bagpipe.

Raised in Mipedim, these European mercenaries do not fight “for king and country” but for the great corporation of Knox.
Company infantry are professional soldiers drawn exclusively from the citizens who are descendants of Europeans, both officers and other ranks. They are members of private armies for the traders, but one that is available to further national needs when required. They fight using company doctrine and equipment as line infantrymen, carrying the same firearms as they have since earths evacuation, smoothbore, muzzle-loading muskets. These soldiers are also enforcers, tax gatherers and a potent threat against the local princes in Knox territory, even away from the battlefield.
Historically, the Knox corporation had often been closer to being a nation in its own right than a business venture. Knox territory was so wealthy that the companies needed armies, not just guards, to protect and expand their interests and prestige. With the Knox Company 1 in 5 company employees are soldiers.
