RFC

RowanFrontiersCompany (RFC)
The Rowan Frontiers company received a grant from the Rowan governance (subsidized by RECorp) shortly before the Friedman Marches were mapped. This funding established the mapping of the Friedman Marches, as well as the creation of the Snake Railroad and the Lonely Line. A few years after these railroads were completed, the government pulled their funding for the RFC. RECorp elicited funding help from several governmental departments, and eventually forged a partnership with the Rowan Incarceration System. Convicts of a certain capability and crime were offered reduced sentences in exchange for work, and the RFC has recently begun recruiting these convicts.
