History

Senkaku Regional Development (SRD) is amongst many subsidiary companies owned by Samura Industries, one of Kusari's major business conglomerates, or keiretsus. Founded in late 829 A.S, Senkaku Regional Development's primary goal is to establish itself in the Senkaku region, commonly referred to as the Tau sector, to further the reach and influence of the Kusari Empire.

As the planned exploitation of the Taus may run contrary to Kusari's diplomatic and political efforts, Samura Industries deemed it wise to delegate these controversial endeavors to an independently liable daughter company, preventing any potential ramifications from being traced back to the corporation.

In late 832 A.S, Kishiro Technologies - another keiretsu of Kusari - successfully developed a Jumphole-generating jumpdrive, leading to the discovery of the Ishigaki sector, coined internationally Earheart. After sending reconnaissance teams through these artificial Jumpholes, it was quickly decided that the Earhart system and the Uncharted systems that are accessible from it were to be included in Senkaku's interests, ultimately branching out of the Tau sector.

Senkaku Regional Development has since restructured itself to be able to fulfil different tasks that would usually be handled by its mother company such as the fulfilment of delivery-based contracts. As a result, the organisation has decided to rebrand to Senkaku Research & Development in 833 A.S.

Company Assets

Planet Junyo - serves the SRD as one of their main bases of operation. Due to the large influence of Samura Industries on the planet as well as the ongoing effort to aid the fisheries on the planet with the help of Alien Organisms, Junyo is an important symbol to the people of Kusari that signifies Samuras, and by extension the SRD's, desire to stabilize the production of consumable goods within Kusari. The planet's location in Shikoku also allows for a quick assembly of convoys that are headed toward southern Sirius.

To further upkeep the terraforming currently taking place on the planet, Junyo relies on a steady supply of Alien Organisms from Planet Kurile. Due to the Gas Miners Guild's interference on Kurile, Junyo is currently relying on the few supplies that make it from Kurile, or alternatively from Baffin, although the Baffin route has not been deemed feasible both economically and safely.

Shinkaku Station - utilised by the SRD as their main staging-point for expeditions into the western Senkaku region. Additionally, Shinkaku produces one of the most important export goods of their mother company: HydroGro Fertilizers. These fertilizers serve a critical role in remaining competitive against Liberty's Synth Foods.

Newly constructed Hydroponic factories have resulted in an increased interest in water, which is abundantly found within the icy fields of the Saga system. Large-scale water siphoning operations have taken place, resulting in vastly increased activity in the system. The efforts of the keiretsu have not gone unnoticed and attacks on convoys have considerably increased. In an effort to combat these pirates, the SRD has stationed several snubcraft on the installation to bolster security.

Osaka Storage Facility - was once a bustling shipping hub, where Samura Industries used the station to warehouse H-Fuel from the Crow Nebula, back when they chiefly dealt with the Gas Miners Guild. It is the most eastern installation of Samura within Kusari, serving the SRD as a staging ground for convoys whose destination is towards southeastern Sirius. Recently, Samura has repurposed the station with newly assembled production lines, manufacturing hallmark Quantum Multiplexors.

Senkaku uses Osaka as a hub to store minor H-Fuel deposits and ship it off to various customers throughout Sirius, including corporate entities that deal with their competitor, the GMG, in an attempt to once again establish a foothold in the H-Fuel market.

Yokohama Shipyard - is an executive asset of Samura Industries. For centuries it has built and maintained some of the largest ships of the Kusari Empire, and still to this day Yokohama functions as the heart of Samura Industries' shipwright output. Located within the center of Kusari, Yokohama is in endless need of any and all commodities that are used in shipbuilding.

Senkaku Research and Development has personnel at Yokohama to assist the mother company in their constant efforts to further enhance the capabilities of the company's fleet.

Diplomacy

Friendly:
There are a few groups that Senkaku Research & Development considers friendly. While the SRD publicly supports Samura Industries and its subsidiaries as well as the Hogosha, the Farmers Alliance receives their support through ambiguous third parties to make backtracing nigh-impossible for anyone not involved in either group.

Samura Industries & other Subsidiaries

The Hogosha

Farmers Alliance

Neutral:
There are numerous corporate entities as well as lawful and unlawful groups in Sirius that the SRD does not have any notable ties with.

Everyone else

Wary:
While not considered to be outright hostile, these are the main competitors and rivals that the SRD is wary of.

Kishiro Technologies

Gas Miners Guild

Synth Foods

Hostile:
These entities are either shot or avoided by the SRD and vice versa.

Blood Dragons, Golden Chrysanthemum, other pirates
