==Toroan War==
In the 1960s, an unusual period of low rain arose which resulted in economic hardships for the agriculture, timber and fishing industries of Toroa. The Toroa Communist Party was formed which believed that the government of the Oan Isles was handling the crisis abysmally. The TCP called for the independence of Toroa from the Oan Isles. In 1970, the General Secretary of the Toroa Communist Party, Manu Aketua, was elected as the Governor of Toroa. He dissolved the Toroa Legislative Assembly and called for a referendum to decide on the independence of Toroa from the Oan Isles. The Oan Isles sent military forces to the territory and stormed the capital city of Hipana where Governor Aketua and his government were located. Governor Aketua declared marshal law and fled with other members of the TCP to the west fringes of the country. They waged a brutal guerilla war against Oan forces, smuggling drugs and people to pay for the war. To end the atrocities, the Oan Isles signed a ceasefire in negotiations brokered by major Auroran nations with the TCP in which they promised to temporarily suspend fighting. The TCP declared the Toroa People’s Republic and governed that part of Toroa as a communist dictatorship. The Oan Isles has never rescinded its claim to the area controlled by the TPR and actively uses its diplomatic and economic clout to isolate it. Despite overtures to restore normalcy, only the most crucial aid is given.

Atawhai Taumata, Basiloy Modvenovich, Darryl McKinsey and Casey Burnham were PhD candidates at the University of Tokapa in 1970. They were working on a research project on semiconductor substrates under the supervision of Prof Leigh Cameron from Kuthernburg. Through their experiments and findings they published their dissertation in 1975. They made discoveries about the conductive and insulating capabilities of crystalline silicon and proposed applications their use in integrated circuits for computational devices.
Atawhai Taumata's uncle High Chief Taumata of Wekatoka encouraged the team to continue working on the project. He provided the initial seed funding for the project. They continued working on it until they developed their first working prototype integrated circuit in 1979. They pitched the idea to numerous investors and eventually, High Chief Taumata managed to get the Oan Armaments Company (now known as Oan Arms) to invest in the idea. After working for another 6 years, Metatron was born in 1985. They began as a contractor for the Oan Defence Forces producing chips for military applications.
Upon hearing that Oan Arms was selling the technology to other militaries that were committing war elsewhere, Basiloy Modvenovich was deeply distressed and asked the co-founders to end their relationship with the ODF. Atawhai Taumata asked his uncle to buy Modvenovich out, giving him the controlling share of the company. Basiloy walked out in 1988. Casey Burnham was constantly at odds with Darryl and Atawhai over development.
She left as the Chief Technology Officer in 1994, a position that Atawhai took up. Darryl bought her out. He continued as the CEO of the company. Atawhai inherited his uncle's title and had to dedicate more of his time managing the Taumata Family Trust, thus he resigned as the CTO and remained as Chairman of the board. Rudo Seabrook from South Hills continued as CTO. Darryl made some disastrous financial decisions and he divorced his husband, who left the marriage with half of everything he owned. He was bankrupt and thus sold his share to Atawhai who took over the entire Metatron Corporation in 2004. To escape the tax reforms in the Oan Isles being implemented around 2006, the Metatron Holding Company was established in Tivot in the same year.
Bing Sion came on as the Chief Operations Officer in 2008. He pushed for the acquisition of Barque Lithography in the same year getting closer to Darryl. Rudo and Bing kept competing for Darryl's favour because they knew that Atawhai would support Darryl's choice Of CEO when he eventually resigned. Bing successfully negotiated the acquisition of Fort Jubrayn Optics in 2012, sealing the deal for his succession as CEO. Darryl stayed on as CEO to coordinate the initial public offering of Metatron on the Sani Bursil Stock Exchange. They raised 1.34 billion KRB from the deal. Bing took on more of Darryl's duties until he was appointed CEO in 2016
