Founded generations ago by Barnabas Rockdust, the company has grown from a small family-run operation into a sprawling mining empire with outposts across the continent. Despite its success, the company has drawn both praise and criticism for its aggressive expansion, internal politics, and rumored hazardous work conditions.
