Eastern Tiger Corporation (ETC) is Korea's largest corporation, headquartered in Pusan.[1]
Background[]
Founded in 2030 from the merger of Samsung-LG, Daewoo, and South Korean Energy,[2] ETC is a member of the Pacific Prosperity Group.[1] Since 2050, ETC has rapidly expanded into Australia, Brunei, the Salish-Shidhe Council, Seattle, and the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Built on the foundation of heavy manufacturing and petrochemicals, it has also diversified into biotechnology, entertainment, consumer goods, and agriculture. In 2064, its main areas are described as heavy manufacturing, chemicals, and energy production.[1]
During the years following the Matrix Crash 2.0, ETC fared well, given the circumstances, due to its strong industrial assets. Having acquired Pacific Rim Communications, ETC was all-set to sign on MSP contracts for telecommunications and augmented reality throughout Asia and North America.
The current CEO (as of 2064) is Se Jong Lee.[1] 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 corporations other than mutual protection and survival. Se Jong Lee is said to have some grudges against Renraku Computer Systems and Mitsuhama Computer Technologies, due to business practices that blocked ETC from expanding.
It has ties to the Komun'go Ring and the Eastern dragon Mang, who is rumored to be its real CEO. In the Allied German States - and perhaps elsewhere - they have backed the Seoulpa Rings.[3] They also have a business relationship with the Triads, in which the Red Dragon Association and the Snake Head Triad bring cheap illegal labor into Japan.[4]
In 2064, ETC threatened to leave PPG over a dispute with Wuxing Incorporated related to a bidding war over Hyundai.[1]
