Dain Conglomerate

A collection of companies, holding companies and subsidiary companies. Privately traded with 51% of the stock owned by Josephine Dain. A secretive company with strict polices regarding information the exact finances are unknown, but most experts place them in the top twenty, although this estimate has begin to fall thanks to recent economic troubles.

Dain Foods

Founded in the second world war to meet growing demand for canned goods it became renown for its low costs and speed of shipping. Factors which contributed to its success after the end of the war in the growth of the fast food market. In a world frequently plagued by superhuman strife, the rise and fall of empires, and alien invasion Dain Foods have become a leader in market share due to the ability to rapidly supply low cost foods anywhere in the world.

Although absorbing a significant fraction of Dain's total manpower resources it remains only partially profitable. Calls from industry experts and stockholders to sell or restructure the company have been on the rise.

Dain Transportation Services

An American based global container shipping and logistics company with over 9,000 staff across 231 offices in 97 countries. The Group's key brands are Dain Shipping Incorporated and Exemplar Logistics. Every year a volume of over 1.8 million forty-foot equivalent units is transported worldwide.

Dain Shipping Incorporated, its container shipping arm, provides shipping, terminal services and intermodal operations. Its assets include 10 wholly owned and operated terminals along the US West Coast and Aisa, 123 vessels and a container fleet of 1,081,140 units.

Exemplar Logistics, its logistics business, provides international end-to-end logistics services and solutions. It owns 79 logistics facilities and 12.1 million square feet of warehousing area around the world.

Dain General Industries

A holding company responsible for the allocation of resources and management of its subsidiary companies. One of the most visible and profitable sections of the Dain Conglomerate.

Dain Energy one of the worlds largest producers of nuclear plants, copper wiring, batteries, fuel cells, coils and hundreds of other energy technologies. They also produce and maintain dozens of dams and fossil fuel burning power plants.

The high rate of international instability propelled the company to its current market dominance, as they specialize in creating, installing and maintaining any type of power generation and infrastructure rapidly and at low cost. The frequent destruction caused by meta-humans, alien invasions and the creation or destruction of empires ensures a steady stream of income.

Highly successful in developing nations and areas plagued by meta-human violence Dain energies has experienced less success penetrating the markets of stable and developed nations.

Dain Infrastructure is responsible for the construction of technological infrastructure on a micro or macro scale. Including monetary services, construction, design, and installation of virtually any product. The most manpower intensive subsidiary DI employs more individuals then the rest of the company put together.

Owner of more than three hundred factories worldwide they produce low cost parts for virtually any product from disposable cell phones to aftermarket automobile parts. Their line of inexpensive laptop computers have recently become popular in developing nations and many school systems for their durability and competitive pricing.

Frequently criticized for their practice of outsourcing jobs to other countries sense their acquisition by the Dain Conglomerate they have begin to relocate many of their production facilities to stable first world countries. Meta-human violence and political unrest are cited as their motivation.

Dain Mining is also a part of Dain Industries. Operating a large number of mines in developing nations, preferring to focus on areas where land is cheap, regulation low, and mineral resources relatively abundant. The innate dangers in such practices result in Dain Mining being a large employer of security personal.

Historically often under fire for environmentally destructive mining practices in developing nations, and highly unsafe working conditions there has recently been slow but steady progress toward eco-friendly mining and safe conditions.

Dain Steel is a secondary subsidiary of Dain Industries. A recent acquisition to the company with the fall of the communist party in china this opened up several state owned steel companies. Three of them were purchased outright and combined under the name 'Dain Steel'. While at first enormously profitable the recent global downturn has resulted in a 8% decline in total share value.

Industry experts remain hopeful that future instabilities in the worlds empires would result in upticking demand for steel.

Dain Biotechnology

Headquartered in the Conejoe Valley the biotechnology branch consists of a pharmacology section which specializes in the production of medicines drugs and other medical items of interest. Specializing in diabetic supplies, hospital equipment, and cancer drugs they are an exceptionally stable and sustainable branch. Their trend of undercutting competitors for bids has caused them to be only mildly profitable in recent years, but the recent acquisition of a bid to produce medical supplies for the military have caused hope the division will soon return to profitability.

Secondly the biotech research division. Historically on the cutting edge of research in recent years they have made several breakthroughs and important discoveries. However none of them proved economically viable. This has prompted intense criticisms from industry experts and stockholders, as Dain Bioresearch absorbs a large degree of biotech resources both in personal and money.

Dain Information Technology

Specialising in the storage, transmission, safety, and reliability of data DIT has become an example of brilliant anticipation of the future market. One of the only branches founded by the owner of Dain Conglomerate, Josephine Dain very early in her business career. At the time the move was highly criticized due to seemingly excessive funding toward informational infrastructure and research. In the wake of the Ninjan invasion the DIT's overbuilt infrastructure was uniquely positioned to survive the widespread destruction and emerge as a dominate market force.

Sense that time DIT has become a behind the scenes powerhouse in virtually all information technology from cell phone towers, to satellites internet providers, data storage servers and so much more.

Dain Defense

The newest and most controversial of all the branches. When Starks Enterprises pulled the majority of their US Military contracts a massive vacuum opened in the sector of defense technologies. Dain Defense was immediately created, and resources pulled from other divisions, branches and subsidiaries.

Quickly it became evident that the defense technologies was the first priority of the Conglomerates leadership. This was regarded as a tremendous risk, for there were few defense experts inside the company and it hand no record of successful engagement with the military up to this point.

Dain Conglomerate begin to experience a decline in growth as significant resources were pulled away from other projects and focused into defense technology and research.

This has prompted a great deal of speculation within the company about its future, and is widely considered the cause of Dain Conglomerates recent decline.

OOC:

This is not yet completed. There will be additions and evolution.

No destroying the company as a whole or any of the major sections without premission, but you are welcome to destroy anything not critical to the operation of the company. All I ask is that you are reasonable with your destruction.

This is a privately traded company. To own stock in it you must have OOC premission from me.

Please do not meta-game my characters identity.
