Eastern Tiger
From Sixth World Wiki
Eastern Tiger Corporation (or ETC) is Korea's largest corporation, headquartered in Pusan, Korea. It is a member of the Pacific Prosperity Group. Since 2050, Eastern Tiger has rapidly expanded into Australia, Brunei, the Salish-Shidhe Council, Seattle, and Hawai'i. Built on the foundation of heavy manufacturing and petrochemicals, it has also diversified into biotechnology, entertainment, consumer goods, and agriculture.
During the years following the Matrix Crash 2.0, Eastern Tiger fared well, given the circumstances, due to its strong industrial assets. Having acquired Pacific Rim Communications, Eastern Tiger was all set to sign on MSP contracts for telecommunications and augmented reality throughout Asia and North America.
The current CEO is Se Jong Lee. The Seattle branch is headed by Yong Jo Moon. Both are said to be cautious and shrewd businessmen, with little ties to the other PPG corporation other than mutual protection and survival. Se Jong Lee is said to have some grudges against Renraku and Mitsuhama, due to business practices that blocked ETC from expanding.
[edit] History
Pacific Rim Communications Unlimited (also known as PRC or PacRim) was a pan-Asian telecommunications corporation that maintains networks in major cities all across the Pacific Ocean from Kuala Lumpur to Seattle. It was a member of the Pacific Prosperity Group, which has given them many lucrative contracts including the Malaysian Independent Bank and a joint PRC-Shibata satellite constellation. The PRC was headquartered in Tokyo, Japan and its CEO was Choi Kun. While its Pacific Prosperity Group associations made it an unpopular corporation among the Japanacorps, it was rumored that the PRC joined the PPG because it was denied admission among the the inner circle of Japanacorps. After the Matrix Crash 2.0 ruined the company, financially and among its primary assets, Pacific Rim Communications was bought by the Eastern Tiger Corporation, which used the resources of the PRC to snatch up lucrative Augmented Reality contracts.
