Heyerdahl Corporation

The Heyerdahl Corporation is the business empire and holding company led by the Heyerdahl family, presided over currently by Graff Heyerdahl.

Overview
The Heyerdahl Corporation was established in 71 BR by Holden Heyerdahl, then head of the Heyerdahl family. At its inception, the company concerned itself primarily with hydrogen3 (a common space craft fuel) refinement. Holden died shortly after in 70 BR, in an industrial accident involving a Hydrogen3 tanker explosion. Graff Heyerdahl, his son, took over the business in 69 BR.

As leader of the Heyerdahl Corporation, Graff set about expanding the companies scope. In a series of acquisitions and mergers, Heyerdahl Corporation soon branched out into other ventures such as finance, pharmaceuticals, computer science and implant production.

The newly discovered world of Ordon V was bought by the Heyerdahl Corporation in 43 BR. Graff Heyerdahl set about terraforming the planet, and the first colony outpost, Heyerdahl Park, was established later the same year stage 1 terraforming finished, 38 BR. By this point the Heyerdahl Corporation had grown to be one of the powerhouses of business in the Malchior sector.

Currently Heyerdahl Corporation holds over 120 licences for technology manufacturing deals and patents.

The corporation's subsidiary, Holosystems Megacorp, manufactures the widespread neural implant Virtual Interface.
