Overview

Isesaki Shipping can trace its history back over 500 years, 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. While the wars between the states of the Inner Sphere has sometimes prevented the company from trading as freely as it wished, the agents and contacts of Isesaki can always find someone willing to make a deal.[1]

Isesaki Shipping suffered a number of 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.[2] 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 swathe of the commercial district of the city, and killing Viscount Ernest Machida.[3][4]
