Karvan Business Consortium

Karvan Business Consortium (KBC) is a publically owned and massive corporation based in Karavn, Aldegar. It was formed in 3603 by members of the now defunct United Aldegarian Party as a general contracting company. Originally in concentrated primarily on construction and development but as Aldegar stiched itself together in the post chaos era the company began diversifiying its holdings into telecommunications, arms, auto sales, shipping, and various other nitches. It is now the largest corporation in Aldegar and has been the centre of cricitism that its inside connections have brought it unparralleled prosperity and that it puts rivals at a disadvantage.

In 3603,with the rise of the UAP, several connected business and party leaders formed the Aldegar Construction and Development Corporation to compete for construction contracts during the ongoing rebuilding of Aldegar.

One of its first major contracts was to repair the road and phone lines on the isle of Somasi. Working in tandem with local authorities the company first focused on getting the main roads traversable while the completing the main phone lines next to the roads. Ahead of time and slightly under budget 93% of the roads and 99% of the phone lines were re-established in Somasi by 3605.

With success at their backs the company endevaoured and received more and more contracts to begin work on the mainland. Most of its solo contracts focused on road and rail rehabilitation and rural development while it worked with other groups in the major urban areas or when re-constructing the Aldegar National Canal. At this time government contracts flowed in and in a somewhat consistant manner the contracts were completed.

However the fall of the UAP to infighting over the unrest and international attention brought things to a head. Many openly speculated that the company was finished and that it would fall without its political connections. In what many now see as a brilliant stroke, CEO Rashid Bintal re-organized the company into the Karvan Business Consortium and began moving in a new direction.

With the old guard gone, Rashid quickly moved to a more aggressive business stance and when re-organization was complete in 3607 the company took advantage of the weak regulatory state and structure and moved in to new sectors. At the present time the KBC has numerous different divisions and subsidiary companies in and around Aldegar they supply it with immense power.
