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 The Oan Isles has never rescinded its claim to the area controlled by the TPR and actively uses its diplomatic and economic clout to isolate it.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.

[[Oan Arms]] (formerly known as the Oan Armaments Company) is a publicly owned for-profit company in the Oan Isles
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.

Oan Armaments Company was rebranded in 1995 as part of a modernisation and restructuring campaign. In 2001, Oan Arms and KAE Systems plc from Kuthernburg started working on the Silent Killer UACVs.
McKinsey 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.
[[Etuariti Takatunuye
They were taken by the idea and as part of their angel investor program, provided him with the financial capital and mentorship to cultivate the idea and establish his start up. The initial prototype search engine at the time called Coffee Club was a stupendous failure. Hardly anyone used it and it was prone to regularly collapse. This was because he had packed an incredible amount of functionality, detracting from its core purpose and undermining the user experience. When [[Damehowe]] threatened to pull the plug from the company, his team worked for 3 months and produce a vastly more simple product called Cafe Net. It was an incredibly simple browser yet its initial public offering raised 5 billion KRB on the Sani Bursil Stock Exchange.
Yet it would be years before the company could turn a profit. Instead, Damehowe bought Takatunuye's stake in Cafe Net for 18 billion KRB, making him one of the wealthiest men in [[the Oan Isles]]. Damehowe suggested moving the company to [[Sani Bursil]] to centralize their operations. Takatunuye refused because he believed that the Oan Isles vibrant tech sector provided some of the best computer scientists and entrepreneurs. Thus, the company remained firmly located in the capital city. His browser benefited from its incredibly simple but elegant algorithm, immaculate and user-oriented design. The work of Cafe Net spawned the Cafe Vibes video sharing platform.
[[Bing Sion]] came on as the Chief Operations Officer of [[Metatron Corporation]] in 2008. He pushed for the acquisition of Barque Lithography in the same year getting closer to Darryl.
[[Café Pay]] (also simply spelt as Cafe Pay) is a third-party mobile and online payment portal from The Oan Isles developed by Etuariti Takatunuye as a spin off from [[Cafe Net]] in 2008. It is headquartered in [[Tokapa]].
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
In 2017, Oan Arms sold its subsidiary Oan Shipyards to [[KAE Systems plc|KAE Systems]].
