The Megacorporations

From Xinda

The Caldari State, while a sudo-socialist state, has allowed the eight largest megacorporations to remain almost independent since the fall of the Democratic Plutocracy prior to the Caldari Civil War. Supreme Overlord Tovil-Toba has given them a small amount of self-governance through the Board of Directors and they may make any policy concerning international commerce. The eight are the following and are described in short below: Kaalakoita, Wiyrkomi, Sukuuvestaa, Nugohelhuvi, Ishukone, Lai Dai, CBD and Hsyayoda.

• Kaalakoita: The largest of the Caldari mega corporations, the KK, as it is commonly known as, has its fingers in most everything. They are manufacturers, distributors, retailers and researchers, as well as being a formidable voice in Caldari economic politics. Their great rivals in both business and politics is the Sukuuvestaa Corporation.

• Wiyrkomi: Wiyrkomi is one of the two Caldari mega corporations where the largest shareholders is a family. Wiyrkomi is still owned by the founding Seituoda family, a name that has always been associated with honor and trustworthiness in Caldari business. Their primary activity is that of manufacturing.

• Sukuuvestaa: Sukuuvestaa, or SuVee as it is commonly called, is the largest real estate dealer within the Caldari State, it is estimated that they and the companies under them own nearly 40% of all land in the State. SuVee is the second largest of the Caldari mega corporations and is known for its ruthless, often unethical, business practices. Their primary activity is that of construction and manufacturing.

• Nugohelhuvi: The only Caldari mega corporation that has focused on the entertainment industry. NOH, as they're commonly called, have always been suspected of strong ties to the Caldari underworld, mainly because many of their products cater to that social element or are on the borderline of legality.

• Ishukone: Ishukone was for a long time the feeblest of the Caldari mega corporations, but contact with the Jovians changed that. Ishukone was the first company to establish trade links with the Jovians and received the 'secret' technology from the Jovians, which made Ishukone billions of Taels in revenue before other companies could catch up. Ishukone is still reaping the rewards of their good relations with the Jovians and it possesses the most advanced technology outside Jove territoy. They maintain the State's three largest research facilities: Xai-Xai, Abstergo and Cerelere.

• Lai Dai: Lai Dai has always advocated quality over quantity and their products have always been of the highest standard. Lai Dai has an energetic research program and rivals the great Ishukone in technological achievements. Lai Dai also has a significant weapons development program which is constantly contracted by the State's Nationalist government.

• CBD: The CBD Corporation is one of the biggest export/importer in Caldari territory. The corporation has established trade links far and wide, with huge amount of goods in constant fluxuation.

• Hsyayoda: Hyasyoda is one of the oldest of the Caldari mega corporations, having been formed shortly after the Pre-Industrial Age. It's conservative and cautious, but adheres to the old saying: 'Only the paranoid survive.' They are the largest mining organization in the State and is one of the wealthiest in terms of mineral wealth. They maintain the Anganju Mines.
