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]
Matabushi Finance is the only sizable private finance firm in the Kurita sphere as most banks are government-run. One of the company's major functions is to change House Bills liberated from other Successor States into useful currency, usually C-bills.[6]
Matabushi Trade started as a sideline to Matabushi Finance as a way to launder money throughout settled space. Most of the company's dealings are with the Bandit Kings in the shadowy world of the Periphery. The division though also operates in every Successor State.[6]
