The Corporation was formed the 13th of September 2003 by the now retired Odein Khanid as an industrialist corporation and a reform of Gib-o-Matic with a desire to explore the game, make money, and have fun as a group of friends. This was the beginning for a group of players who did not quite appreciate the finer points, but rather took everything to it's maxium efficiency and then a little bit more. The locals in our different HQ systems recognised us by all the asteroid belts that suddenly were gone.

Ever on the move to find a better implementation of our relentless dedication to performing at maximum efficiency for minimum effort, The Corporation moved from system to system, and then eventually out into 0.0 where the better asteroids could be found. Curse became our home for a short while, where we got our first taste of the riches offered in 0.0. Alas, this period in this proud corporation's history came to an end when Curse Alliance and Curse Coalition had an armed disagreement over ownership for Curse region.
Withdrawing from the region due to war unpreparedness, The Corporation entered a slower phase where it's members would explore other venues in the endless EVE. The Corporation was then awakened from the short time in hibernation as the opportunity to join the Immensea Federation with the Xetic and Immensea Federation presented itself. Again, access to riches, this time more rich than the Angel-plagued Curse regions, were opened before us and again our vast proficiency with stripmining came into play, yet this time it was tainted.
Rapidly acquiring ownership over an original print of the games all blueprints, this was before technology level 2 and before advanced designs such as battlecruisers or capital ships, The Corporation became a respected member of the industrialist oriented and newely reformed Xetic Federation.

As the climate in the south began to warm, with particulary Curse Alliance loosing respect for Xetic Federation's neutrality, The Corporation was now less worried as Curse Alliance broke the non-agression pact by traveling in forbidden space one time too many. Defending 2o-eew system and station successfully against the cream of Curse Alliance navy - the renowned Ghost Fleet, one of their highest fleetcommander Mars flee as can be seen in the renowned War Journal #1.
The taint would now show itself as the experience gathered outside The Corporation now came into play when The Corporation marshalled it's more than willing fighters and went deep into enemy territory on a chase motivated strictly by the lust for blood.
Hunting the deep space industrial structure of the Curse Alliance, The Corporation conquered several stations temporarily and reeped several hundreds of battleship kills at very low cost, even when defenders were prepared.
At this point, Xetic's other all-swedish corporation, Optimus Industries, experienced a rapid downfall and was forced to close it's doors, thus swelling the ranks of The Corporation with fresh blood.
