EL-TC formed from the ashes of IDI, given a State Charter granted by the Sovereign Caldari State to defend its empire, its interests, and its citizens.

Given its charter in YC113 the company set up trade routes across empire space into Amarr, Rens and Dodixie and quickly established a seat of power in foreign politics and trade. The company quickly established its own large navy which it uses to control several systems and uncharted "J" space.
