PAGECO is a large business manufacturing conglomerate primarily known for being the oldest currently operating company in the UEE, and its long history of shaping the verse commonly lived in today.

Founding & Incorporation
in 2029 CE, Engineer Sean Page gathered together permission and funding to found a company which used a new method of procedural manufacturing designed by his-self. Page Manufacturing Company was created with the original goal of solving the ongoing food manufacturing crisis of the 21st Century, while being environmentally friendly. A shortage of resources combined with critical overpopulation meant a serious crisis for humanity that Page hoped to alleviate. From 2030 and onward Page Manufacturing Company gained large amounts of traction, and grew to massive sizes while helping buy humanity a little more time to reach for the stars.

Early Days
One of the company's biggest decisions in history was it's partnership with Roberts Space Industries in 2042. PMC was responsible for the effective manufacturing of all RSI products until the partnership was terminated in 2126. As RSI gained traction, so did PMC, gaining control of almost 10% of Earth's global economy by 2100.

The company also played a big role in the terraforming of mars, as a technical error in a PMC machine caused the Great Mars Tragedy of 2125. Shortly after the incident, Roberts Space Industries killed it's partnership agreement with PMC .The company spent decades gaining back the trust of humanity.

Competition & the Leadership of Kunal
Founded in 2687 is a company known commonly as ArcCorp. Originally a twinkle in the eye of Page Company executives, ArcCorp grew incredibly quickly, taking more and more business from the veteran manufacturing company. By 2705, ArcCorp was a serious threat to the indisputable reign of Page Company.

Casper Kunal, appointed as CEO in 2718, made some huge and very controversial changes throughout the company. The first of which was the migration of the Page Company headquarters from Dallas, Sol III to Terra III, Terra in order to capitalize on new opportunity for growth in the growing economic power of the planet. An unpopular decision that was ultimately deemed appropriate for PR was the changing of namesake from Page Company to Kunal Industrial Concern. The move was made to disassociate the company from it's past mistakes on Mars.

It wasn't long before the company had a name change again, this time to Kunal Company. This was decided in 2750 during an effort to explore other industries before the impending overtake of ArcCorp. A new ship engine manufacturer known as Origin Jumpworks was purchased by Kunar Company. Over the coming decades, Origin Jumpworks became a rapidly growing competitor to RSI and Aegis Dynamics, the second of which having close manufacturing ties to Kunar Company.

The success was short lived, however, as the UEE deemed the vertical integration of Origin ships to be too dangerous to the market in 2810, and forced the company to let go of their ship manufacturer brand.

State of PAGECO Today
In 2901, PAGECO renamed once again to a modernized and easier to remember version of its original namesake. ArcCorp grew to be much larger than PAGECO, having significantly more control over shared industries. The company has many small to mid-sized subsidiaries in different industries as to keep a reasonable hold over the market. While PAGECO is not nearly as prominent in society as it once was, it continues to be successful as it had for almost 1000 years.
