Overview
O'Keefre Importers-Exporters was one of the largest companies in human space during the days of the Star League. It controlled the flow of public goods between all the powers of the Inner Sphere and the Periphery almost by itself. However, with the fall of the Star League and the resulting Succession Wars, the many dropships and jumpships of the company were confiscated by whatever government they happened to be traveling through. Combined with heavy fighting on Fomalhaut, where the company's headquarters were located, O'Keefre nearly lost all of its assets. Though the company struggled, the firm was able to survive the centuries of warfare, but on a vastly smaller scale within the Federated Suns.
With the ending of the Third Succession War and the budding alliance between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Federated Suns, O'Keefre was in a key position to profit from the growth in trade between the two nations.[3]
