Nirasaki Computers Collective
Nirasaki Computers Collective was a Star League-era computer manufacturing corporation. Headquartered on Nirasaki, the company was started by three graduate students in 2599. Unlike most corporations, Nirasaki employed a "communal ownership" model where the employees controlled the organization.[1] The increased confusion was seen as a worthwhile tradeoff for the increased creativity of the employees. This "controlled chaos" method of organization must have been successful, as NCC was instrumental in creating some of the most advanced computer systems for the Star League. The control system for the Kanga jump tank was one success, but Nirasaki's crowning achievement was probably the sophisticated control system used by the SLDF's Space Defense System.[2]
Nirasaki Computers Collective didn't survive the Amaris Civil War. In the first year, the scientists and engineers of the Collective were rounded up by Amaris' forces and taken to Terra. The Collective's buildings and offices were destroyed by the Rim Worlds troops.[3]
