Wolf Armaments Incorporated, or known simply as Wolf Armaments for short, is a publicly owned, family operated, arms manufacturing company based in The Empire of Common Territories. The corporation has worldwide operations, including locations (manufacturing plants, shipyards, gun stores, etc.), export sales (notably to foreign governments), and subsidiaries/partnerships (Commoner League Inc. being an example of the former, and the Lamoni Government sales partnership as a latter). Wolf Armaments is the largest arms manufacturing and distribution company in TECT, and one of the largest in the world. Everything from small arms of various caliber, to soldier supplies & equipment, munitions of all shape & sizes, vehicles of varying armament & armor, aircraft with differing roles, warships of different size and purpose, technology and research/development, and other military hardware is produced and sold by Wolf Armaments.

Throughout its history, Wolf Armaments has provided firearms and other weapon technology to the TECT Armed Forces and its many private buyers; Wolf Armaments has produced armaments since it first opened its doors to arms production in the 16th century. The company was originally founded in 1723 by Fran Grutmen, a metal smith belonging to the Grutmen Dukship (the Grutmen family head was/still is a Duke who once presided over part of the eastern suburbs of the Empire's Homeland) as the grandson to then Duke Ferdinand Grutmen. Fran's interests differed from his family's original trade, which at the time was expensive metal smithy work; the Grutmen Household was well known for its high quality jewelry crafting, decorative metallurgy designs, and having the honor of designing the Imperial Crown not once but multiple times. At first Fran was merely intrigued with cannon and rifle technology, but years later he became infatuated with both the weapons and soldiers that used them. At the age of twenty-two, Frans opened a side-business in secret aside from his family's work producing muskets and ball ammunition for the local governments around the capital; when his business expanded to accepting official government contracts, the Grutmen Family was displeased to learn of the heir's course of action. Aside from punishment and complete lack of support, Fran was left to continue his business practices using his own earnings. When Fran's grandfather passed away from old age and his father died from stomach cancer shortly after, Fran inherited the title of Duke and the Grutmen Company at the young age of twenty-eight. One of Fran's first actions as Duke was immediately turning the family business away from metal crafting and into armaments production - muskets and ammo, not gold and earings. The same week he took over, Fran Grutmen had already began converting his family's workshops into manufacturing facilities so they could begin making firearms, ammunition, cannons, and howitzers. Although slow to start, and suffering tremendously at first, the Gutmen Company, now renamed Wolf Industries, began a steady climb as a moderately new business. The company became one of the first small arms and cannon manufacturing businesses founded in the Empire and was arguably the first large business not state-owned to do so. Wolf Armaments, through cooperation with the government, has produced domestic weapons for the military and seen profitable growth for over three hundred years thanks to the Grutmen's close ties to the Royal Family. When Wolf Armaments actually began exporting armaments in twentieth century, business exploded further, expanding into everything from producing guns, to tanks, to eventually warships, and selling them to countries all over the world with the Government's blessing.

Wolf Armament's primary customer base is situated in TECT; its domestic sales include annual sales to the TECT Armed Forces (which also include research and development projects) and private customers throughout the country. Domestic sales make up the largest bulk of profits for Wolf Armaments since the country possesses an ever growing military and is home to arguably the world's largest Private Military Company, Commoner League Incorporated. Closely trailing behind domestic sales are foreign exports to governments, organizations, and private customers located all over the world; Wolf Armaments has made over $40 Trillion NSD in five years through exports alone while domestic income varies between double to quadruple that figure in the same time frame. Other sources of profit include stocks, investments, partnerships, above and bellow-board arms trafficking (allegedly), and other miscellaneous sources of income using private services (such as consulting and technology trade). Wolf Armaments is majority owned by Commoner owners Neil 'Grutmen' Stanly (CEO & Duke) and Emperor JC; minority owners hold no more than eleven percent of shares at largest count. The Grutmen Household has always operated the company as a family business since its creation, and until a decade ago, remained a private company until the company went public in order to expand the business internationally. Alexander Ulmer with Imperial Defense Initiative is the third largest share holder of Wolf Armaments with little over eleven percent of stock in their ownership; Alexander Ulmer is the CEO of Imperial Defense Initiative and Emperor of the Empire of Romic. Imperial Defense Initiative is a Romician arms company that holds domestic production licenses to manufacture Wolf Armament products for the Romician military. Remaining stockholders include Kauvers International Holdings LLC., which holds exactly eleven percent of shares, the Lyran Governmental Trade Department which holds a little more than five percent of shares, and the Government of Kazirstan, which hold almost one-in-a-half percent of shares.

Wolf Armaments manufactures a wide variety of military oriented products. As an arms manufacturer and dealer, Wolf Armaments produces a diverse stock of weapons, equipment, vehicles, aircraft, sea faring vessels, military technology, and soldier paraphernalia. Wolf Armaments, according to Imperial Law and Royal Decree, must have all foreign sales approved by at least the TECT Emperor or the TECT Congress' Committee on Foreign Affairs and Committee on Trade & Goods; the Emperor, as the minority shareholder with the second largest holding, manages to keep the company free of complicated congressional wait times thanks to his attentive response to Wolf Armaments business handling, essentially giving most arms deals a "fast-pass" through legal hurdles. Thanks to this, Wolf Armaments' export profits have exploded and have brought in $46,072,966,625,968 NSD in the last five years alone (as of 01/16/18).
