The Kyoshi Corporation, also known as simply Kyoshi, is an large Earth based mega-corporation dating back to the days of the Solar Empire. The corporation has several subsidies, but its area of expertise remains in bioresearch and biomechanical subsidies. Its most direct presence on Onia remains a Shock Trauma Armed Rescue Service operation.

Kyoshi is most well known in the Belt for their stray or active vatborne based artifical intelligence units, mainly Autonomous Laboratory EXperiment Assistants and MPEU's, though it also has several active subsidiaries in the region from security subcontractors to a logistics firm. Still, to most citizens of the White Belt it remains another faceless entity in a sea of governing corporations.

Diplomatic Relations

Despite being a Earth-registered megacorporation, Kyoshi maintains diplomatic relations almost like a sovereign state; due to its considerable holdings in multiple galactic empires. Officially, Kyoshi like other corporations will do business with whomever asks, but unofficially favorites are always played.

• Galactic Coalition While Kyoshi comes up as an occasional political goal in some starry eyed representative to 'cull the monopolies', these always go nowhere. Relations maintain generally favorable, as Kyoshi remains an Earth based corporation and, mostly, pays Coalition taxes.
• Rokhandan Directorate Kyoshi's first interstellar business partner, Kyoshi remains favorable with the Directorate who treats it almost as one of its clans.
• Ayun-Ji Kyoshi maintains decent relations with Ayun-Ji by proxy; the same can't be said for any Poliesu shadow governments.
• Federation Kyoshi maintains questionable relations with the Federation; due to its historic business rival Ulysses Industries operating out of Volkter. Relations seem to be cooling; sometines.
• The Holy See The Holy See seems questioning of all corporations; Kyoshi is no exemption. No significant foothold exists.
• House Ajnoria Despite being on opposite sides of the 'stellar curtain', Kyoshi maintains some ties with Ajnoria due to historic co-projects around biomedical research in the 22nd and 23rd centuries, prior to the House's exile from Solar Empire space.

Kyoshi Engineering

Kyoshi Engineering was founded in 2115 to facilitate the creation of an FTL colony ship for the Proxima Centauri expedition. Since then, it has grown into the Kyoshi zaibatsu’s most reliable subsidiary; while Kyoshi Laboratories still take the limelight in progress and development, Kyoshi Engineering’s production of all manner of starships nonetheless brings in the most stable profit. In addition to the company’s duties of implementing and producing Kyoshi Laboratories designs for consumer use, the company operates 42 dockyards orbiting numerous worlds and moons in Kyoshi controlled or influenced systems, and a dozen shipbreaking yards which process and recycle hulks or decommissioned vessels.

Kyoshi-built ships fall into four categories; freighters, exploratory vessels, luxury yachts, and warships.

• Kyoshi freighters have a reputation for being rugged and reliable, if straightforward vessels with no frills out of the dock, though their simple, easily modifiable nature has endeared them to companies that choose to adjust commercial ships to fit their own specifications.
• Kyoshi exploratory vessels are, like their freighters, rugged and reliable, but this is necessary when operating in uncharted or far flung space. They are completely modular in nature, allowing for different lab, engineering, berthing, or various other modules to be added or removed as needed.
• Kyoshi executive and luxury yachts are universally sleek and stylish, combining the finest in comfort and entertainment technologies with the most modern FTL drive and calculation systems, permitting anyone wealthy enough to own one to bypass the established FTL routes at their leisure.
• Kyoshi-built warships differ greatly from their military counterparts; built for tighter budgets than governments have available, they focus on automation of most ship systems for a higher initial investment, but a far lower cost in man-hours over the life of the vessel. Generally a bit smaller than other ships in equivalent classes, they bear a stylized design reminiscent of historical Earth naval ships, with an elevated bridge and superstructure sitting proudly atop the hull.
