System: Tematagi

[3067] During the glory days of the Star League, Nimakachi Fusion Products' influence spanned the Inner Sphere, with factories dotted across the member-states. Tematagi in the Free Worlds League was the company’s home, however, a corporate world reminiscent of Irian or Keystone. The Draconis Combine was Nimakachi’s largest “foreign” market, and in 2602 Nimakachi purchased the bankrupt Sendai mining complex in the city of Mulifanua on Lapida II, transforming the subterranean complex into a self-contained manufacturing enclave.

Nimakachi-Lapida soon prospered. Nicknamed “Tematagi Minor” by many in the workforce, it earned contracts from the DCMS and the SLDF. Today, the twin factories of Lapida and Tematagi remain intertwined with the two militaries, aided by the loose provisions of the Concord of Kapteyn. The Lapida/Tematagi Minor plant produces ‘Mechs under contract to the DCMS (the signature Spider as well as the Venom and Bishamon), while the original Tematagi plant produces designs for the FWLM (notably the Vulcan and the Spider).

Nimakachi is also deeply enmeshed in DropShip manufacture, producing the Octopus tug and Condor troop transport at its Dalton plant. Third-party corporations produce many of the components used in this process, but the orbiting yards build the spaceframes and interplanetary drives as well as carrying out final assembly. Demand for both models remains high, with the League government the largest purchaser. A civilian version of the Condor, the cargo-carrying Stork-class, is undergoing pre-delivery trials in advance of full-scale production scheduled to commence in 3069.
