History
In the wake of the 4th Corporate War, the Neo-Soviet Union was weakened by antiquated technology and
an unstable economy based almost entirely on fossil fuels. The major economic power of the nation, SovOil,
had managed to make a killing in the last Corporate War but everyone was painfully aware that sooner or
later the oil would run out or CHOOH2 would finally make fossil fuels obsolete and the Neo-Soviet economy
would come crashing down. Where many other countries used technology to aid in their recovery and shore up
their economies, Russia's ability to compete in the international tech market was still extremely limited. Russia's
few technical exports weren't going far and were largely recognized by the rest of the world as poor-quality
garbage. This changed in 2039, when a street tech from Moscow brought the GRAF3 to the market. This new construction
robot entered the market at a reasonable price point and proved itself to be durable and easily repairable. But
most importantly, the GRAF3 was perfect for cleaning up the remaining destruction of the War. It was cheap
enough to be bought by local governments in bulk, and small communities could buy one and be sure it would
last them years. In the chaotic post-War atmosphere, there weren't many people who questioned how Zhirafa got
founded or how it spread its influence so far across Russia so quickly after developing their first project. Officially,
Zhirafa was founded by its CEO, Artyom Sokolov, with a few of his Edgerunner friends and a healthy savings
built on mercenary work during the War, but rumors persist that the meteoric rise of Zhirafa can be attributed to
the activity of the Bratva criminal syndicate and their groups of allied Russian Nomads.
After breaking into the market with the giraffe-like GRAF3, the Corporation went on to rocket Russian tech
to new heights with the release of several lines of drones and robots built for variable tasks. Besides the GRAF
Line, the most notable and ubiquitous development of Zhirafa is the Savanna Line, a line of aerial and terrestrial
combat drones for use by security and law enforcement. By the year 2045, many governments and Corporations
across the world use Savanna Eagle and Savanna Panther Drones for security and law enforcement.
