KessKorp

Kessler Industrial Technology (K.I.T.), which does business as, and is more commonly known as, KessKorp, is one of the anchors of Emerald City's “Silicon Circle” of tech companies. It was founded in the late 1990's by Dr. Arwin Kessler, a former AEGIS R&D section chief who left the agency a step ahead of charges for numerous ethics violations. Since its founding, the company has swiftly grown into a powerful multinational, with facilities in over three dozen countries and cutting-edge interests ranging from computerized microelectronics and exotic metallurgy to pharmacology and biochemical engineering. KessKorp is one of MarsTech's largest rivals and was recently outed by a team of investigative journalists as the shadowy backer for a failed buy-out attempt targeting ASTRO Labs . KessKorp is Emerald City’s biggest polluter (a rap more culpable, more covert companies are happy to see KessKorp take). The public relations fallout has been intense, so much so that protesting KessKorp is practically a required course at ECU.
