Description
Yashida Holding
The Yashida Holding is a larger shipping company within the house of Kusari. The company has its headquarters in Shinjuku Station at the moment. The corporation wants to set up an own base in the New Tokyo system. Often you can see our vessels within Hogosha, Farmers Alliance and Corsair space. But most of the time you'll see them flying around in house spaces, Border Worlds and Independent Systems.Yashida holding have the advantage to do business and transport in all five house. That makes us so unique, no other trading corporation has got the ability to enter the 5 houses. (Kusari, Rheinland, Gallia, Bretonia and Liberty)
History
After Master Yashida parents were killed by the Bretonian Intelligence Service when the war between Kusari and Bretonia was still ungoing. His parents were on transport within the Kyushu system when they were shot whitout a reason. The master dicided to make sure that there is peace within our beautifull house.
From the small and hard begin:
It all began when Aiko (Master Yashida) started to trade in a Drone. He made money to advance and gain more influence within the gouvernement. There were hard times, the economical crises hitted whole sirius. Ofcource we were in a down going econonmical trend. Aiko took some lessons in accounting and learned how to "cheat" a little bit so he could spare his money to expand the corporation. He hired his first employee 3 months after the start of his corporation. The corporation only trade within the house of Kusari becouse there wasn't enough money to fly beyond our borders.
Times of Expansion:
After that he hired his first employee the money began to find it's way to the corporation. Soon all the small Drones were replaced be larger ships, such as: Big Dragon and Akegata. More and more employees wanted to apply for a job within the corporation. And soon the corporation had more then 300 people in active service. Those employees were not only for transporting goods but as well for securing those convoys. Especially when they went to vistit the Corsairs, there you don't want to know who would jump from behing a rock. The corporation began to expand to all the houses and Corsair spaces. The trade with Bretonia and Gallia stayed out the first months. Trade to Liberty and Rheinland was enough to keep the corporation healthy. On Planet New Berlin we could load of our Niobium Ore that we collected from the IMG within the Tau-23 system. In Liberty we mostly trade natural foods that are grown on Planet Kyushu.
Even More Expansion:
Later after allot of diplomatic discussions our trade vessels were allowed to trade within the houses of Bretonia and Gallia. When arrived in Bretonia they were able to supply some of the Kusari Exiles. That was also one of the main reasons why we had the permission to enter the house of Bretonia. Now we were able to trade within the house of Gallia, we could also load of Beryllium Ore on Planet Le Mans. For the mining of that ore we could count on the miners of the GMS. The corporation needed to expand and bought even more Container ships of the type Akegata. More cargo could be transported around sirius. And as a consequence of all those trade, the corporation had even more economical strenght. We could now (more or less) compete with the other sirian trading corporations.
Enemies of our expansion:
You might think money makes life easier, but thats not the case. on the contrary we have more and more trouble with pirates and terrorist attacks. Within the Tau-23 we're often attacked by Outcasts, Junker Marauders and sometimes you see Colonial Republics who like to undermine our buisiness. Within the Sigma systems we're often halted by the GMG. They don't like to see us comming, Despite that we don't do anything to them. And for the rest of sirius we're often targetted by Pirates and other unlawfulls.
Allies against our Enemies:
As we are not that happy to see Junker Marauders and Outcasts we often coorporate with the IMG response unit, support of the GRN is very distressing. Luckely we can count on the help on KNF sometimes. As we are not very friendly with the GMG we often help the Hogosha, Corsairs and Farmers Alliance. Note that we only help them with LAWFULL goods. Our corporation are not smugglers so we like to keep it "clean".
The beginning of the Holding:
Now that the corporation has got enough credits, we could start to develop new technologies. Now the corporation has got an development section. This section is trying to develop: new tradelanes, jumpgates, Kusari Carrier, Kusari Liner and Military equipment. As this section is not online for a long moment there is no developments ready at the moment. We expect to have results within the next year. As if this is not enough to keep we also wanted to change the view of the gouvernement. So we decided to get in Kusari politics, an own political party has been set up by the Yashida Holding.
