[b]History[/b] – KangChai crater was initially colonized by KangChai Corporation, a Chinese space mining firm who named the crater for themselves.

KangChai was founded in central China in 2289 as a merger of private assets pooling their resources to strike into the rich markets of space under the tutelage of Wui Kang and Song Chai. At the launch pad, KangChai operate on Earth largely as a mass recycling firm re-purposing metals and equipment as the native metals of the planet Earth was mined up and used. But on the broader scale they entered the competitive market of space mining, buying a small share of the Asteroid Belt and the interior planets of the Sol system. Over time, the patience of Wui Kang and Song Chai won out on the aggressive rivals and as larger companies went bankrupt they purchased their assets in mass at the final auction, winning mining rights as far as the Oort Cloud. Over a time-span of fifty years KangChai grew from a unknown company in central China and one of the dominating influences in the field of space industry.

Developmental, the company spread into Africa as corporate law there was weaker. By Wui Kang's death at the age of 102 the company's employee profile was imbalanced in favor of Africans who made up the blue-collar level of their mining mission where native Chinese were largely still in control of the administration of the company.

When Brahma was discovered KangChai was quick to purchase as many shares of the planet's surface as possible to make a legal foot hold on the planet. Early incursions to the planet were largely purposed for scouting out the planet to survey a location for an immediate mining camp and extra-terrestrial headquarters. Their ultimate pick landing themselves with developing out a porous, two-kilometer deep and four-kilometer wide sink-hole born deep into a limestone mountain range. Surveys suggested that the region was rich with iron veins and deposits, and uranium in the iron.

The gaping cave holes also presented the perfect perch to effectively use space without spending too much resources in clearing the thick jungle and rock around the site. The bottom of the sink-hole also let out into a natural well of under-ground spring water, suggesting a network of underground oceans.

The initial mining colony was small but built up over time, but became the central focus of the company's mining operations and missions to survey the numerous mining claims scattered over the planet.

Population boom came at the loss of Earth as refugees arrived in mass to the planet. And due to KangChai's demographic hold many refugees from Africa and China made way to the sinkhole city, expanding it rapidly and buffing the burgeoning city-state.

The loss of Earth also proved to be a shakeup to the former corporate structure. Even with a number of the corporate officers and directors arriving safely to the colony the company's CEO and other higher-ranking officers had been lost.

The administrative disorientation became a catalyst for change. The surviving directors coming together in a loose legislative body. From themselves electing a new Executive Officer to run the colony and manage its security and economic interests. The Director's Board delegating to themselves to oversee the social operation of the colony and organize it to prevent riot or malcontent.

Of interest in the colony is the Batmen who have been pushed into the lower reaches of the sink-hole and the low-level, mined-out tunnels. Having approached the city for asylum out of curiosity for the human way of life – or having been turned into refugees by the Humans already – were granted such a title, and given the waste-land uninhabited by the humans.

The catacombs under the city have thus become known as the Bat Caves, with the Bat Men taking up roles as the waste-management and water-pump operators for the entire city.

Above, KangChai continued to attempt to manage its mining interests. However the wide-spread claims they hold often proves too far spread to manage from their highly centralized position. In redefining themselves the company-turned-state as largely turned to private, public, and national banking to acquire assets to function, often holding other's cash as a tax-free and a private alternative to banking (or receiving loans) at home.
