ChangCorp

"ChangCorp. We power your world." -ChangCorp slogan
ChangCorp was a massive international company. Originally a nuclear giant, it soon held the monopoly for nuclear power in the United States of America, making billions of dollars. After the collapse of the US, ChangCorp became one of the major corporations which contested for power in this post-apocalyptic world. Finally, it met its end when Atlantis was discovered, and new governments rose to usurp the warring companies.
==History==
In the early days of the Age of Revolution, the then unknown Dr. James Li discovered a method to produce nuclear energy cheaper and safer (but not environmentally friendlier). Just an honest scientist, he planned to publicize this method, but his friend Dr. Chang made him keep it secret. Instead of making it public, the two sold it to a nuclear giant, instantly earning millions of dollars, as well as positions in the higher ranks of the company.
Li, highly satisfied with the money and the job, stayed in the position, becoming a very rich man. Chang, however, contested for even more power. After various political maneuverings, Chang gained control of the corporation and renamed it ChangCorp. He led the company to fame and fortune, and under his son, the company held the monopoly for nuclear power in the western world. It would remain in his family for generations.
Soon, ChangCorp became so powerful that it got involved in numerous other fields, although nuclear power was still its main focus. It did various types of work for the United States government, and became a leader in robotics and genetic engineering. ChangCorp was one of the corporations involved in funding and conducting research for the top secret Project Akin.
However, the United States of America was failing. It was thought that ChangCorp would meet its end once the US finally collapsed after years of war with the PRF, but instead, it grew stronger. Many companies, including ChangCorp, contested for control of the planet after the major superpowers fell. ChangCorp was one of the most notorious of the companies, sending out assassins and bounty hunters to eliminate rivals and defend their own company.
In the year 2714, humans discovered Atlantean technology, and within the ashes of society rose governments to rule once more. Slowly, the companies were toppled and replaced by the Irini Republic and Velconum Empire. The fall of ChangCorp was thanks to the warrior Irin, who personally led a batallion to bring down the company and exile its leaders to far off space colonies.
