Keruba International

Founded at the turn of the century in Slovenia, Keruba began as a consortium of military manufactures and was the first company to develop a commercially viable vectored-thrust vehicle. With Nerby conflicts in the middle east, unrest in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the Russo-Polish "Border wars" ensuring a large market for their products. They company began diversifying into other forms of heavy industry, global telecomm, and security for computer hardware and software. The computer branches of the business initially contributed to the bottom line only as a side project, but the Keruba technician-s research would bring rich rewards a few decades later.

By 2010, Keruba had followed the leads of Shiawase and the rest of the "Big Seven" by becoming a significant extraterritorial power in its own right. And, setting a precedent for expanding corporations that continues to the present day, it began celebrating its newfound power by picking fights with its rivals. BMW had followed Keruba's lead into the design and manufacture of military LAVs, and by virtue of its longer history and reputation for quality, quickly began cutting significantly into Keruba's sales.
