Weston-Yamada

"Building better worlds"

Weston Yamada (A.K.A The Company) has a wide range of business such as; high-tech armaments, synthetic humanoids, spaceships, computer parts, terraforming equipment, and household appliances. It also offers shipping and receiving services, among other ventures.

Following an aggressive expansion into terraforming new colonial worlds, Weston-Yamada secured many rights and privileges from the United States government. One of those privileges is the close relationship with the USCM; the Colonial Marines use corporate-supplied equipment in exchange for protecting and monitoring border colonies. This, however, does not mean that the interests of the company are aligned with the USCM. It is more accurate to say that Weston-Yamada considers the USCM a valuable, but still disposable, asset.

Weston-Yamada also has enough wealth and influence to hire private military contractors. These are highly trained mercenaries, generally ex-military veterans, who do black site protection detail, undertake dangerous assignments, and otherwise supply Weston-Yamada with firepower in the absence of the USCM. They are compensated well for their services, and demand is always there. Rumors speak of even more well-equipped and well-selected military units within Weston-Yamada's employment, but that is not officially verified.

History

The formation of the mega-corporation Weston-Yamada came about as a result of a prosperous merger of the Weston Industries Company and the Yamada Bio-foundries Corporation in the early days of the formation of the Royal Empire of the Shining Sun (RESS). The two companies, specializing individually in varying sections, fields and industries, suddenly had an unprecedented amount of knowledge, workforce and the financial/political backing from several of Earths governments to attempt to stimulate their economic strength. With this start, the company flourished, rapidly expanding it's market shares in medicine, armaments, weaponry, rocketry and more. Growing more and more powerful in terms of technological progress and economic prosperity, W-Y was soon to become the most prominent and widespread corporation on the planet, starting to acquire contracts and deals with military and governments from all nations, though reserving their best and most valuable contracted services to the RESS.

PMCs

Weston-Yamada PMCs are military personnel owned and operated by the company. They are equipped with advanced modern military equipment and weaponry akin to the USCM and similar national militaries.

Following the defeat of the Dust Raiders and the withdrawal of the United Americas of the Tychon's Rift sector, a group of employees became skilled mercenaries. They are part of Weston-Yamada's Task Force Oberon that was stationed aboard the USCSS Royce, a powerful Weston-Yamada cruiser that patrols the outer edges of Tychon's Rift. Under the directive of Weston-Yamada's board member Johan Almric, they act as private security for company science teams. The USCSS Royce contains a crew of roughly two hundred PMCs, and one hundred scientists and support personnel.

Rumors say that a Weston-Yamada Special Task Force known as "Royal" of the USCSS Lunalorne are part of a different specialization, designed to capture anomalies associated with alien and supernatural life.
