The multi-billion-dollar megacorporation known as Khan Industries has always occupied a position of prominence in the economic world. Founded before the turn of the century by the Khan family of business magnates, Khan Industries made its start in marine shipping and manufacturing, quickly becoming one of the largest and fastest-growing businesses in the harbor city of Cape Suzette. Visionary leadership and strong competitive standards contributed to the phenomenal early successes of the Khan corporation. By the time the Great War broke out, Khan Industries was recognized as a world leader in international shipping and merchandise as well as raw material production and technology.
