Karan Company

Karan Company, markets as Karan Corp or Karan Corporation, is a massive company which operates largely in Avgrov. The company was founded in 1908 in Reivar, a large city in Avgrov, by Arvus Karan.

Founding
Karan Company was founded by student Arvus Karan, who studied mechanisation at the Reivar university. He was seventeen years old when he founded the company. The company was funded by his parents until 1915, when it became state-funded and officially employed by the Avgrovan government to build the Karan T-1 armoured car, since then, the company has always been economically stable.

By the end of the, Avgrov had acquired s, and Karan Company was tasked with the modification and upgrading of the FT-17. By 1918, the Avgrovans had developed their own variant, the ACR-18. However, as Avgrov had left the war in 1917, the ACR-18 was exported to Tavra and Alurin-Dertabin, neither of which had fielded tanks.

Interwar
During the interwar period, Karan Company continued upgrading the ACR-18 up until 1928, as Karan Company refused to comply with the newly-installed regime in Avgrov. Kulin Works however took over production for another year before starting production on new tanks.

After that, Karan Company wouldn't produce any military assets and only civilian cars until the '40s, when they produced the Karan T-37/70, effectively splitting production of military assets and civilian assets between Kulin Works and Karan Company, with Kulin focusing on the former and Karan focusing on the latter.

World War II
Only during the second World War would Karan Company produce military assets again. They produced the T-37 armoured car, as well as the Karan T-3 and Karan T-5 light tanks.

Cold War
At the dawn of the Cold War, Karan Company's focus shifted to include airplanes, specifically the newly-invented jets the Tavrian AirForce used. Design plans of the Lyan Ly 112 were acquired and a local variant, the Karan 112 was produced, and became the first and one of the most effective jets in Damalias and the backbone of the Avgrovan Airforce.

Modern day
In the modern day, Karan Company is one of the largest companies in Avgrov and operates in various countries, including Tavra and Teurin. It mostly produces cars nowadays and civilian airplanes and is rarely tasked with the production of military hardware. Recently, Karan Company has also started the production of train cars and railways.
