BACKSTORY: WALKBLEM GALACTIC CORPORATIONWalkblem Galactic Corporation (the parent company to all these Walkblem corporation) is a galactic wide conglomerate that is already among the most powerful corporations in the glitterworld.
Assessing that the newly discovered systems of the RimWorlds as perfect untapped market to venture into, Walkblem Galactic Corporation decreed all its subsidiaries to enter into the RimWorlds during the A17 years – to dominate the markets and control the entire economy of these “freezones”.
So they started doing mining, farming and selling stuffs from the glitterworld and from their own factories. Caravaning however, is like an afterthought – so they started off using local mercenaries and muffalos to do the transportation of goods to trade with distant colonies.
But unexpectantly, the colonies started robbing the super rich caravans. In reaction, the Walkblem Corporations sent in their private army – the Walkblem Soldiers to replace the unreliable and “weak” mercenaries. However, while the caravans are well defended, the losses continue to mount… and proliferation of super advanced weaponry is causing huge amount of problems.
After losing trillions of silver from the loss of goods/products, high tech weaponry/equipment as well as paying compensation to the fallen soldiers’ family in the A17 years, so finally, at the beginning of the B18 years, Walkblem Galactic Corporation decreed all the subsidiary companies to start using a military vehicle that was previously banned from being used in the rimworlds, called the Walkblem Heavy Armored Caravan (WHAC). The converted Walkblem Heavy Armored Infantry Carrier Vehicle, is armed with the Walkblem Charge Cannon (its like a big version of the Walkblem Charge Rifle) – to ensure that all the goods will be secure in the evil and unscrupulous world of Rimworlds.
So Walkblem Soldiers are mostly withdrew, leaving a skeleton force on each of the RimWorld Planets, and return to using the “cheap” Mercenaries as the escort force – balancing the cost of bringing and operating such heavy military weaponry to the rimworlds.
The withdrawing of Walkblem Galactic Corporation’s soldiers from escort duty is not enough to avoid the massive political pressure building up in the GlitterWorlds. The corporation was then threaten with sanctions by the GlitterWorlds to only use mercenaries for escort duties and civilians for trading work, in order prevent anymore advanced weaponries falling into the wrong hands. The new limitations did not however prevent Walkblem corporations to continue the deployment of its military protect their RimWorld outposts.
But amidst the bad news, came some positive developments: Walkblem Galactic Corporation introduced a new set of uniforms that matches the technological edge and its galaxy-wide brand recognition. The new Walkblem Helmet features AI-assisted target and combat system, improving the combat capabilities of its soldiers. The new Walkblem Power Armor, now features a stronger armor while losing most of its speed enhancements. Walkblem Gunbladers receives a light version of the Walkblem Power Armor, known as the Walkblem Exo Suit, providing incredible movement speed and agility for the melee soldiers. Walkblem Charged Sniper Rifle and the Walkblem Charged Rifle both had their explosive round’s explosive radius reduced to minimized collateral damages and friendly fires (rumors had it that it was to prevent sanctions for having Over Powered weapons in the Rims)
On March 21st of the B18 era, Walkblem Galactic Corporation had announced their withdrawal from the RimWorlds Accprds that regulates and prevents the introduction of heavy weaponries into the frontier systems.
In a statement by the CEO of Walkblem Galactic Corporation, MJ Lim declares his disdain for all the hypocrisy of the GlitterWorlds establishments, where restrictions and shifting regulations had severely hurt the interest of the mega corporation. According to the spirit of the accord, corporations like Walkblem Corporations are forbidded from introducing advanced weaponry into the RimWorlds, to prevent war and violence. However, according the MJ Lim, he accused the GlitterWorlds of taking a blind eye on the fact that RimWorld is already full of wars and violence, not to mention that advanced weaponries had been introduced by multiple factions from the GlitterWorlds – while Walkblem Corporation is limited in its ability to defend their employees and properties.
Thus Walkblem Galactic Corporation had decided to bypass the regulations, and introduce military vehicles that Walkblem Corporations had used during the previous 2 wars.
CEO, MJ Lim reiterate the stand of Walkblem Corporations, as well as a thinly veiled threat against the GlitterWorlds governments, “We don’t want to deal with politics, but don’t fuck with us!”
In a separate press release, Walkblem Galactic announces that they will be militarising all Walkblem Corporations across the entire galaxy, to secure their facilities and businesses, as well as the complete activation of their military force to discourage the GlitterWorlds governments from doing something silly. They also announced the sale of Walkblem Vehicles via the Walkblem Military Corporations (walk in sale only) and that they will no longer use mercenaries, but instead deploy their standing military forces to all the stations and duties. Walkblem Galactic also warns against any pirates or factions that dares to attack their caravans, promising a swift and violent end to those who would dare.
In B18 era, Walkblem Corporations remain as the most powerful corporation operating in the RimWorlds, with no true competition to rival its monopoly of the RimWorld economy.
But at the turn of RW1.0 era, Walkblem Galatic declares a sudden emergency.
As the crisis between Walkblem Galactic Corporation and the GlitterWorlds governments continues over the withdrawal from the RimWorlds Accords that regulates and prevents the introduction of heavy weaponries into the frontier systems, CEO of Walkblem Galactic Corporation, MJ Lim suddenly gave a chilling emergency press conference at the turn of the age to RW1.0.
In the press conference by the CEO of Walkblem Galactic Corporation, MJ Lim, where he left without answering any questions after his statements, he told the reporters and media on site that a number of his corporations had became uncontactable. While that happened, a serious security breach happened at one of the major armory and countless amount of weapons, vehicles and ammunition had been stolen by unknown perpetrators. MJ Lim also mentioned that, despite the disagreement and tension with the GlitterWorld governments, his corporation had immediately informed them of the details of the unfolding crisis, and had advised all GlitterWorld governments to take appropriate security measures.
CEO, MJ Lim reassures that Walkblem Galactic will spare no expense to find out what happened to the uncontactable corporations, and will inform the public of the latest news and developments when available.
In a separate press release, Walkblem Galactic announces that they will continue the full activation of their military force in light of the armory breach, and had advise all units to step up their readiness to prepare for any unexpected circumstances. Walkblem Galactic again reiterate their warning against any pirates or factions that dares to attack their caravans, promising a swift and violent end to those who would dare.

VER 3.0 DEVELOPER’S NOTEThis is a really difficult update, as the update to the game since B19 had really forced a lot of changes to the codes… And as Trading Economy mod is dependent on the Advanced Animal Framework, the framework had to be updated to.
But after all the difficulty and hardship, I think I managed to improved the AI of the Walkblem vehicles and the vehicles are a little more “controllable”; and more responsive to enemies.
Anyway have fun!
———-
CHANGELOG VER 3.1– Resolved Walkblem Vehicle body part should not be hit-able red errors
– Resolved previously unknown mistake, where Walkblem Artillery combat force is 10 times more likely to be spawned than others types
CHANGELOG VER 3.0– Updated mod to RW1.0
– Reworked all the caravans.
– Added 2 caravans types to the Trading faction
– Reworked Walkblem Vehicle AI (via Advanced Animal Frameworks)
– There is an infinite Group.AI loop bug when you use Walkblem Vehicles to attack enemy outpost. It doesnt break the game though. Meanwhile, just ignore it.
