## History

### 1930s

The company was founded as the Kentoria Company by William Davidson Kentoria Sr. on June 21, 1933 DCE in Larrienna, Larcia Province following dissolution of the Klover-Kentoria Company. An Early claim to fame is when three Mallanian Royal Air Force (MRAF) Kentoria KA-HFs completed the circumnavigation of Darcia from June 1-30, 1937.

### Pre-Duke's War

With Looming Tensions on the Horizon, Kentoria built 157 new KA-HFs for the MRAF, as well as 550 KA-HBs, and 150 KA-1 Transports for the Mallanian Royal Army. On July 3, 1943 DCE, Kentoria built the first ever twin engine transport plane, the KA-2, followed up in September 1943 DCE with the legendary KA-3.

### Duke's War

Kentoria began to build a commercial version of the KA-3, however, the commercial version would become much more popular, so they named that the KA-3 . The military version was named the KA-AT-3.

### Post War

Kentoria began to focus on creating commercial airliners, with the founding of Royal Mallanian Airways in 1945, Kentoria began mass-producing KA-3s, KA-4s, and KA-5s, while working on two new types of Aircraft, the medium-ranged KA-6 and the Long-ranged KA-7. In 1949, Kentoria finished work on the KA-6 and began building them. In 1953, Kentoria finished work on the KA-7 and began producing them as well, in 1956, Kentoria had 155 orders for KA-3s, 171 orders for KA-6s, and 550 orders for KA-7s. In 1958 DCE, the Barcian Aircraft Manufacturer De Kornan built the first jet airliner, the De Kornan Meteor, Keoring and Kentoria ended up racing to build jet liners by themselves, with Keoring winning out, building the Keoring 909 in 1959, with Kentoria following up in September of that year with the KA-8.

### Mergers

Towards the end of the 1970s, Kentoria struggled to find orders for their new KA-9s, when in 1976, Hintonia Aircraft gave a merger proposal to Kentoria. The two companies seemed like a decent match, with Hintonia being a military company with not a single commercial aircraft, while Kentoria could help Hintonia build commercial aircraft. In 1978, the merger was finalized, with the two Companies mergering into Hintonia-Kentoria Aircraft. The Aircraft produced under the merger's abreviation (HK) were the HK-11, the HK-80/81/82/83/84/85/86/87/88/89 & the HK-90. In 2000, Keoring acquired Hintonia-Kentoria, and folded them under the Keoring name. The Last Larrienna-built aircraft, the Keoring 919-300 (The Third Generation of the KA-9), stopped production in 2016 DCE.
