The Kohr-Ah (market index KAH, rating 14.8 (link)) are one of the founding members of the Trade Organization (TO), together with Ur-Quan, Chenjesu, Umgah and Thraddash (see links). As a major stock holder in the Bank of Thraddash (BOT) with 11.4% shares (link here), the Kohr-Ah currently hold three (3) seats on the Trade Committee with the right of veto on non-critical (see reference) matters and seven (7) seats on the Security Council with the right of veto on all matters.
The Kohr-Ah are responsible for the operation and maintenance of twenty nine (29) Portals along Route 12, together with their infrastructure and personnel. As per Trade Agreement 4-10.8 ratified by a majority vote in 2108, they are also in charge of the ongoing repairs of another 15 Portals in the Crateris Constellaion (update as of Nov 15, 2110: The repairs have so far been on schedule with only minor delays due to negligible incompetence of third-party contractors). For a quantitative summary of the annual operating Portal revenues and traffic flow, click here. For lost benefits due to the non-operating Portals, click here.

The two main business partners of the Kohr-Ah are the Umgah (market index UGH, rating 17.0 (link)) with 5e23 RU/year (0.5% KAH GDP (link)) and the Mrmrmnhmr (market index MMM, rating 12.2 (link)) with 1e24 RU/year (1% KAH GDP).

==== Subject: KAH -- MMM transactions ====
As of Nov 15, 2110, the main KAH -- MMM import by both bulk and RU value is combat-oriented full-body augmentations and ground equipment (reference, requires security level 3 or higher). For the past 15 years the Kohr-Ah have been meticulously upgrading and expanding their planetary armed forces, to the outcome that the experts in the field claim (link) they are currently the top-dog in shock-infantry warfare. As this part of the Galaxy has not witnessed a ground-invasion warfare for at least a few millennia (see Battle of the Hades Rock), such "show of arms" is alarming. It is indeed a well-known fact that such military actions, if ever to occur again, are highly ineffective and utterly pointless (reference here) but some people are getting uncomfortable. The TO Security Council has requested explanation from the Kohr-Ah multiple times but has not yet received satisfactory answers (link here). Other than the usual tension between the Thraddash and the Kohr-Ah, everything else seems normal.
The Chenjesu and Mrmrmnhmr did not participate in the Kohr-Ah hearings, excluding themselves from the investigation committee when their votes were vetoed by the rest of the Council members.
