Overview[edit]

As of 3025, Matabushi Incorporated was already the most prosperous and technologically advanced corporation in the Draconis Combine, with first bid on any contracts and first civilian access to any new technology captured.[1]

In the mid-3050s, the company expanded into the military market, building DropShips for the Draconis Combine Admiralty. Prior to that, Matabushi was best known on Pesht, where it produced computers and electronics for the civilian market. The Pesht office also served as a center for interstellar trade and finance.[2]

During the long Jihad, the facility on Avon suffered capital and personnel losses of 35%, and the operating capacity of the factory had been reduced to 80% of their main production volume in 3079,[3][4] but the plant was quickly restored to full production.[5]

Matabushi Computing Equipment is also subject to military requisition, but for them there was more equipment available for civilian use as most of the products were for the benefit of other corporations serving the Combine.[6]
