Ishukone Corporation (NPC corporation)

Ishukone Corporation

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 capsule technology from the Jovians, which made Ishukone billions of ISK 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 space. Ishukone Watch is the police and security arm of the Ishukone mega corporation.

History

Ishukone is one of the "Big Eight" megacorporations, and a member of the Caldari State's "Liberal" faction. Easily one of the smallest of the Megacorps, Ishukone was for a long time also one of the feeblest. This changed, and Ishukone became competitive with the other megacorporations, after they were gifted with capsule technology by the Jovians - a patent that has since proven highly lucrative.

Perhaps because of this contact with the Jove, Ishukone's technology is reckoned to be the best in the Caldari State, making Ishukone one of the most technologically advanced entities in the cluster. They are responsible for several popular and powerful ship designs, including the "Raven"-class battleship, the "Harpy" assault frigate and the "Vulture" Command Ship.

These lucrative patents have kept Ishukone stable in the world of Caldari economics ever since the Gallente-Caldari War, though the income from them has never quite been enough to allow the corporation to rest easy, and its fortunes have fluctuated over the years as the corporation has constantly searched for the next big "pipeline product" to keep it going. The most recent of these was to be Insorum, the antidote to the slavery drug Vitoc.

Ishukone is still reeling from the damage done to its headquarters station during the events of "Empyrean Age", and the death of CEO Otro Gariushi and many of the senior executives. As of January 2009, no replacement CEO has yet been announced, following scandals that led to the resignations of the two most likely candidates - Ms. Denalia Guinna and Mr. Joga Ruivannen. The person first offered the post - Mila Gariushi, AKA Kinachi Hepimeki - declined for personal reasons.
