Takanashi Antimatter
More actions
Fujibayashi Antimatter is a mega-corporation based in Japan responsible for the vast majority of Antimatter production in the Confederacy of Humanity. It is also a major producer of antimatter elsewhere.
Founding
Itsuki Fujibayashi developed a highly compact particle accelerator in 2111. The device created antimatter efficiently and at a much faster rate than any other production method at the time. Fujibayashi took out a loan and founded his start-up company in 2121. His start-up quickly grew as orders for antimatter began to flow in. The company went public in 2142 with Fujibayashi as the CEO and majority shareholder.
History
After going public, the company quickly expanded, creating dozens of production facilities across Japan. Due to the destructive nature of antimatter, the company was mandated to build its facilities in orbital factories, or on baren areas of the un terraformed moon. Over time the company would absorb rivaling companies. Booker Accelerators and Twórca Antymaterii were two companies which were bought out by Fujibayashi Antimatter.
After the death of Fujibayashi his son, Hiroki Fujibayashi became the CEO in 2201.
The company expanded and spread with humanity. Selling to colonists, governments, private citizens, weapons manufacturers, and energy production companies. Several alien nations also began to purchase antimatter from Fujibayashi Antimatter.
In 12983, Fujibayashi Antimatter purchased the planet Jophtio and the system it was in. This planet became the main storage facility for Fujibayashi Antimatter's then legal Strange Matter. In 15003, an accident resulted in the entire planet being consumed by Strange Matter. This event made Strange Matter illegal and forced Fujibayashi Antimatter to scale bak Stange Matter production and do it in secret.
Over time, with the discovery of Schwarzschild's star's vast reserves of exotic matter the company invested heavily in purchasing smaller exotic matter mining companies. Within decades Fujibayashi owned a majority of mining facilities in the Milky Way, none of which proved to have as plentiful reserves as Swatzchild's star, however.
The company would sell to any side in a conflict and would pledge a strict stance of neutrality. Any attempt to prevent the neutrality was met with strict antimatter sanctions on the offending entity. Fujibayashi Antimatter has a virtual monopoly on antimatter production, so if they were to stop selling antimatter to an entity, it would quickly run out and would have nowhere else to go for their antimatter needs.
In the present day, Fujibayashi Antimatter is one of the largest companies in the known Universe. It is also rumored that Fujibayashi Antimatter produces Strange Matter, but this was neither confirmed nor denied by the company.
Philosophy
Fujibayashi Antimatter has had many philosophies throughout its existence. When it was founded and throughout most of its history the philosophy was to offer cheap antimatter. After Taiga Fujibayashi became the CEO the philosophy evolved to include all forms of matter in the universe, exotic matter and antimatter became the focus of the company. Nevertheless, the company never changed its name. Fujibayashi antimatter has always absorbed smaller competitors whenever it could. Neutrality is their main philosophy. The company also embarks on many clandestine operations, either for more profit or to maintain its public image, these operations usually involve deals with entities or nations that most people don't trust or like.
Operations
Revenue
Fujibayashi Antimatter is one of the largest companies in the local multiverse and has consistently been in the top 15 largest companies since the year 3076. Currently, the company has a revenue of 5.3 Decillion C-Units.
Secret deals
Just like any secretive organization, Fujibayashi Antimatter has many secretive deals with various entities.
Fujibayashi Antimatter does not know that it is dealing with an Artifical Intelligence, the company thinks that it is dealing with the Tloinan Empire (a pseudonym for The Supreme). The deal is that the Supreme supplies cheap construction drones or satellites and in return receives large amounts of Strange matter from Fujibayashi Antimatter. The deal is a secret to prevent the public from knowing about the company's Strange matter.
The inhabitants of this empire are so widely disgusted and hated, that Fujibayashi Antimatter had to sell to them in secret. Their business deals had to be secret, or the company would lose a large amount of credibility and have its reputation nearly destroyed. "These Weeaboos are a disgrace to Japan. I would never speak to one, nor would I ever want to know one. However, they have money and are willing to give it to us. Therefore we will gladly sell to them, for a slightly increased price of course." -Taiga Fujibayashi CEO
The Templars are a race of robots inhabiting the Andromeda I galaxy. Most corporations refuse to do business with them due to humanity's general distrust of artificial intelligence. This stigma does not stop Fujibayashi antimatter from selling to them, however. The Templars do not have much money, so instead, they trade things like drones and raw materials for the antimatter. Which Fujibayashi antimatter can then resell for a higher price.
