Solus Entertainment Corporation, known as Solus simply, is a publicly-owned, state-authorized, conglomerate in the Empire Of Makko Oko. Solus is a company that produces and provides many services, including the famous Sol line of gaming systems, which they are most known for. Solus is one of the largest companies in the gaming industry, in addition to the technology industry, surpassing Riduur rather greatly.
Etymology
The name "Solus" is Makuri for One, meaning a sole person or individual, etc.
History
Prior To Y2K & Founding
Prior to the Millennium, very little technology was researched or produced within the nation. That led to high import costs, global shortages of all kinds of items, among other issues. The government saw this and knew a solution was a necessity for the survival of the nation. The government sought out all kinds of people, domestic and foreign, to varying degrees of success. One such person was Eemil Himanen, a 40 year old immigrant from Westbeech. They had come from a rich family highly regarded within their home nation, and was merely a tourist checking out the sights.
Eemil had been an avid gamer, and was even trying to pick up coding, which mostly failed. They had reached out to the government over November 1999 regarding the complete lack of "funness", which periodicals at the time mocked as a "spoiled foreigner who needs to hit the beech!". The government agreed, and ended up granting Eemil a business permit. Eemil took months to find investors and his footing in the nation, due to also being quite the conservative spender with his own money. He ended up raising capital and diluted his own shares, but not to the point of a lost majority but kind of close. By September of 2000, Eemil had $679M SLO's in start-up capital and officially filed to form Solus Entertainment Corporation.
Early Years
After Eemil had attained the money to start the venture, he had begun to work on cameras first, which took about a year to develop. In July of 2002, Solus officially unveiled the "Snap It!" camera for kids, that came with custom-built software and filters. The camera took physical pictures like a Polaroid but also took digital pictures if the optional storage addon was connected. It ended up launching in January of 2003 at an initial price tag of SLO$270, with reviewers praising it. One of them said "a one-of-a-kind device that actually has a purpose!" with others praising the duality option of polaroid or digital.
That impressed the government enough to warrant a military contract to design and produce specialized IR (infrared) and night-vision dual goggles. No reports were released on the success of the contract or of the end product. In late 2005 after the launch of the Sol 2, Solus announced the development of the first 4D gaming system, referred to as the Sol 4-D. It came with 6 wired controllers, 1 wireless controller and a 3-disc multi-loader system for games and music. It launched 3 years later in August of 2008, at a price tag of SLO$630. Reviewers heavily criticized the price tag but loved everything else.
Introduction Of Solus Records & Music
After the success of the Sol 4-D gaming system, and the implementation of music playback being a unique, patented design, Eemil decided to venture off into that field as well. In early 2009, Solus announced the official introduction of Solus Records after a record $1B SLO's of profit the prior year, with Rae Kephart being the first artist signed to the label. Solus Music followed shortly thereafter in May of 2009 for "the betterment of audiovisual playback and the industry as a whole".
Solus Records took off after Rae's first song, "Campfire", became a #1 song in the nation; earning the company over $5B SLO's in profit by 2011.
IPO & Eemil's Move To The Board
In February 2011, Eemil announced that the company would be going public due to "the massive maturity shown by the company" and to "further expand our operations into more areas". At the same time, he announced that he would be moving to the Board Of Directors as the Chairman and let somebody else run the company. Both decisions had been made official after the company went public on the Joria Stock Exchange (JSL) on December 17th, 2011; under the ticker SOL at an IPO of 100 million shares. Eemil transferred soon thereafter to his new role.
