Ishi Tahiro was a noble of the Draconis Combine.
History[edit]
He was the CEO of Matabushi Incorporated from circa 3024 until at least 3029.[1][2]
On 1 December 3023, Ander's Moon was reported to have been identified as an excellent target for these objectives; it was described as a small outpost: "too small to ever be of strategic interest to the DCMS" and with an "estimated flow capability" of 50 million C-bills per month. The local government (Duke Cameron Vandenburg at the time) was deemed "small and controllable."
When the government proved unyielding, Hohiro Anato requested permission to send the Dark Wing to Ander's Moon to destroy the current government and install a new duke whom they had bribed to do their bidding (McBrin). Matabushi CEO/Board Chairman Duke Ishi Tahiro authorized the execution of the operation on 1 March 3024 and within two days, the Dark Wing, which had secretly been smuggled to Ander's Moon by Kangaroo Jack's smuggler JumpShip, the "Stone Arrow," assaulted Castle Vandenburg, killed the Duke and most of his family and stole the Chalice of Herne, an artifact that represented ducal authority on Ander's Moon. Jarris McBrin, who received substantial bribes from Matabushi, subsequently took control of the Vandenburg assets. He quickly gained tremendous influence on Ander's Moon, which he used to bypass environmental laws to begin large-scale mining of radioactive minerals (mostly on former Vandenburg grounds). Incidentally, the Kurita military was in dire need of such ores at the time.[1]
