Neue-King Corporation

The Neue-King Corporation, often abbreviated to NKC or just NK is a Terran hypercorporation and one of the supermajors. It is an insurance and banking company, owning several large corporations as subsidiaries, and having large parrs of others. It predates the Federation and even the First Commonwealth by over a decade. 
Neue-King appeared as a merger of Neue Holdings International and King Corporation. Neue was an European holdings company, whilst King was a banking company. Neue effectively functioned as the European Federation's state-owned shareholder. The Custodian merged it with the King Corporation and BNP Paribas, creating a banking giant. It became the largest company of the Federation by market cap in 2132, and has always remained among the three largest ever since. The company is also the largest bank in the Federation and the Galaxy. It is also one of the five hypercorporation, along with C2I, Frijkstadt, GA and Clarktech. 
NK has made several large acquisitions over the years. In 2234, it acquired Biotech, a company specializing in nanotechnology with medical applications. In 2268, it acquired AZIMOV from Clarktech. AZIMOV today is the largest manufacturer of Androids in the Federation and the Galaxy. It made its largest acquisition in 2489, when it bought Xanadu Driveyards, which had been privatized just a year earlier for over $38,6 trillion. In recent years it has bought off two major Mirdesh Free Associations, first the Zarbaki Industrial Syndicate in 2678 and more recently the Perman Free Association of Bankers in 2703. This has made it one of the largest banking corporation in the Mirdesh Federation, as well as a major bank in the Surben Republic. It holds an essential monopoly over insurance in the Terran Federation, with over 86% of all Terran households being insured with NK.
