== History ==
The company was found in 498 AER by Friedrich Sigismund in Halbach, starting with a few dozen employees the company delivered steel to local productions of land machines, mainly the base materials for the buildings of agricultural vehicles.
=== New engine ===
Friedrich Sigismund soon realised that the old ways of agricultural working were not efficient to guarantee the supllying of the ever growing population. He obligated a small staff of engineers and technicians to develop a new kind of engine.
The outcome of the reasearch was a new internal combustion engine which uses spontaneous combustion to occur via self heating, followed by a thermal runaway to cause in ignition. This new engine was able to reach a higher level of power.
The new engine started a new age for Imperial & Craft. Instead of delivering only base materials, the company now additionally delivered engines. At the beginning only the local industries were trade partners, but the engine became famous throughout Cartria.

The new contracts which spread in whole Cartria leaded Imperial & Craft to a new size. From a few dozen employees the company now had a few hundred and maintaining an own research centre to develop new technologies of steel refining and automotive advance.
The branch not only focussed on agricultural vehicles anymore. The company went to build engines for ships, all kind of land machines and machines for military usage.
