Zoar and Sons (NPC corporation)

At its height, Zoar and Sons supplied nearly every region of the Empire with everything from electronics to vehicles to construction supplies. Beyond his own connections, Zoar proved to be an amazing businessman, and he enjoyed rare successes with both commoners and Holders. His techniques were so effective that they are still taught to aspiring Amarr businessmen, and even in some Caldari schools.

However, the success lasted only as long as Zoar did. Upon his death, he left his many sons in charge, each the head of different divisions. With every son desiring to leave his own legacy on the company, the once unified corporation found itself driven in a multitude of incompatible directions, weakening the company significantly.

In addition, the company found itself under attack by the many political enemies Zoar managed to accumulate during his life. The company lost many of its manufacturing contracts with the Imperial Navy and Heirs, and on more than one occasion the sons considered selling out to foreign investors.

Eventually, one of the sons managed to secure investments from Khanid Innovations and bought out his brothers. Finally under a single umbrella, Zoar and Sons managed to stay afloat, and the old grudges against Zoar died and were forgotten.

Since those days, the company has managed to regain some of its standing in the Empire. It has never regained the importance it once held in Zoar's time, but the company is larger today than it ever has been, serving a majority of the Empire with its products.
