==Overview==
 
==Overview==
Isesaki Shipping can trace its history back over 500 years around [[3025]], since before the [[Star League]]. While the company has gone through changes throughout the centuries, Isesaki has always held a royal patent to trade anywhere in human occupied space.<ref>''Heir to the Dragon'', p. 271</ref>  While the wars between the states of the [[Inner Sphere]] has sometimes prevented the company from trading as freely as it wished, the company's agents and its extensive contacts with "independent" traders ensure Isesaki can always find someone willing to make a deal.<ref name="HK(TDC)p163"/> <ref name=JCIP2-28/> Their JumpShips have been spotted in the [[Tharkad]] system.<ref>''1st Somerset Strikers (sourcebook)'', p. 41</ref>
 
 
After the [[Ronin War]], Isesaki received considerable financial assistance as "Uncle Chandy" began to clandestinely invest in the company as a means of securing [[Hachiman Taro Electronics]]' shipping routes as well as allowing him to establish an extensive network of contacts beyond the Combine's borders.<ref name=JCIP2-23>''Jihad Conspiracies: Interstellar Players 2'', p. 23 "Uncle Chandy - Economic Tentacles"</ref> In [[3056]] Isesaki hired several smaller mercenary commands to defend its ships from pirate forces.<ref>''Hot Spots'', p. 27</ref>
 
  
Unfortunately the company's ties to "Uncle Chandy" and its Sphere-wide operations meant Isesaki Shipping suffered heavy losses during the [[Jihad]]; in [[3073]], a raid on [[Shuen Wan]] in the [[Free Worlds League]] by the [[Capellan Confederation]] saw the indiscriminate use of tactical nuclear devices by the [[CCAF]], and the Isesaki dockyard there was destroyed.<ref name="JHS3076p33">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 12, "On The Precipice"</ref> On the 21st of March [[3075]] Ukonsoi City was raided by the elite [[Word of Blake]] unit, the [[Opacus Venatori]]. The raid targeted the headquarters of Isesaki Shipping, levelling both the HQ and a wide swath of the commercial district of the city, and killing the company's then CEO Viscount Ernest Machida.<ref name="JHS:Tp15">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 15, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp53">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 53, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>
