History & Background (Dossier)
Formed in -835 (2620 Aslan), ostensibly to trade with the score or so inhabited worlds in Eakoi and Ea subsectors despite the dangers and difficulties of such a venture at that time and despite the fact that trade with the mostly pre-stellar TL communities of the time simply weren’t profitable enough to be worthwhile. In reality the corporation was a nearly self-supporting tool of the Loakhtarl Clan Lords. They used it for keeping the area which was adjacent to the main holdings of the clan, under surveillance, preempting choice pieces of land for future use, and discouraging other Aslan clans from settling there.
Although the Eakoi Corporation could not seal off the area completely, it did keep down the number of such settlements considerably. Historians note those non-Loakhtarl settlements in Eakoi and Ea tended to fail due to Reaver attacks. Much of the blame for this has been put on the Iltharan Empire and the Celestial League, but some historians speculate that the Eakoi Corporation may also have played a part in these disasters.
By -100 (4326 Aslan) the Loakhtarl Clan had consolidated its hold on its main territories and began moving into Eakoi and Ea in earnest. But the greedy, selfish policies of the clan got it accused of un-Aslan-like conduct during the Aslan Cultural Purge and it was attacked by a coalition of minor, land-poor Aslan clans and lost quite a lot of power. Simultaneously, a minor human polity centered on Soloman (Reaver's Deep 1538) started waging a trade war against the Eakoi Corporation.
After a protracted war with little real action but a ruinously expensive arms race, the Loakhtarl Clan gave up in the end and abandoned the area in 128 (4732 Aslan), bringing its fighting assets back to the Loakhtarl heartland to help stave off the attacks mentioned above. The collapse of the Eakoi Corporation triggered an influx of Aslan Ihatei fleets to Reavers’ Deep that in turn led to the escalating series of Aslan/Human conflicts that is called The Turmoils and which culminated in the last Aslan Border Wars (374 – 380).
