In 2011, Corestar took an interest in Karthstan. Parker and his assistant, are tasked to join the insurgency and start a civil war to control the country to mine its rich resources and oil. They're the most advanced and richest faction in the game, they even have gold and sell it for more funding. Currently, they've got 100,000,000 troops in Karthstan.
They seem to have a problem with Alnsur Alrraed as the faction have been attacking their gold reserves.
In 2014, Rico arrives in Karthstan and can choose Corestar and wipe out the other factions before the Final Mission leading to one of the four endings.
If Rico sides with Corestar before the final mission, then it is revealed in the "Corporate hissing" ending that Corestar fought the Karthstan Military for control and succeeded in taking the country for themselves, later turning Karthstan into a corporatocracy to mine its resources.
If Corestar is chosen to be wiped out before the final mission, Rico will be sent to kill Parker and his assistant. Rico arrives at Parker's location and a gunfight ensues, eventually, Parker's assistant dies and Parker himself is fatally wounded by Rico, he walks up to Parker and puts a shotgun in his mouth and fires it, blowing up Parker's head.
