The South-Central Group

Summary
The South-Central group, also known as "Grupo Sud-Central", is a powerful business conglomerate which was formed during the latter years of the global economic depression--known as "The Calamity Years" by some. The South-Central (Also simply referred to as "The S-C") has a makeup of companies dealing within practices such as arms manufacturing and realty.

History
The conglomerate was formed and dubbed “The South-Central group” in the year 2143, with most companies making up the conglomerate operating within the Provisional State of Mexico and nearby polities at the time. The most prominent businesses that made up this enormous conglomerate revolved around practices such as banking and realty, however the conglomerate over the years quickly expanded its boundaries, going into other ventures such as arms manufacturing and other works.

The growth of the S-C, as it was called, was unprecedented--and monopolies were quickly formed, and the provisional government voiced concern over this as the problem grew worse. The S-C however was responsible for corruption within government local and abroad, and “stayed out of hot water” with the Mexican government.

In later years, with the ending of the global economic depression, The SC and many other companies have worked much more towards technology, manufacturing, and research. The SC was ambitious and sought to venture into space exploration, but with a multitude of failed attempts at doing so, they have ultimately ended up not achieving this goal, falling behind in research and funding.

However, the SC was faring very well in arms manufacturing, and with the further improvements on the rail gun the SC was one of the first to work towards its miniaturization and perfection, releasing a multitude of “SC models”.

With the unification of many governments in the years after the calamity the SC had grown closer to the influential South American Economic Collective and started entering into many military contracts with many governments soon after their success with the first Carbine models. The South-Central continues their aggressive business practices, consolidating many other smaller organizations to become one of the most powerful organizations on Earth with the opening of the 24th century.
