Raummarine (no 's') = space navy. Do you mean Thyssen Krupp to have its own
space navy? For a merchant shipping co. (perhaps with armed vessels)
'Raumschiffreederei' would be better For a shipyard: Raumwerft (Space
shipyard) or Weltraumwerke (Space Factories)

AG = Aktiengesellschaft (joint stock company) would be more appropriate.
IG = Industriegesellschaft (Industrial co.) is rarely used. The pre-WW2
IG Farben ist the only prominent example.

Netiher of those is quite it but I don't recall what it should be. Something
analogous with whatever branch of Thyssen builds warships now. I don't have a
copy of Jane's but I'm sure they advertise in it.

As to whether it should have its own navy, well, that would be up to Corey (or
whoever) to flesh out. I've got three countries
already--and Alarish should probably count as more than one.
