Renzu Corporation

History
In 387 A.S. a group of Kusari born ex-Interspace Commerce employees bought a vacated Water Production Facility on Planet Honshu and quickly had it retrofitted to a Development & Production Facility for Watercraft & Hovercraft, thus Renzu Planetary Craft Inc. was founded. Their name quickly spread throughout Planet Honshu and business boomed.

The Development and Efficiency of the small craft did nothing but improve over the next two decades, infact their designs had caught the eye of many thrill seeking racers and they built a large client base for specialized race crafts. The business got such a hike from such business that they soon created their own circuit of races.

It wasn’t until 642 A.S. that Renzu was able to venture into a new species of craft. Renzu had amassed enough Credibility that they were able to hire a full team of Aerospace Engineers. The team immediately set their sights on a racing ship design that could maneuver throughout the planets toughest race courses and be just as reliable in space flight. Thus was born Renzu Aerospace with it’s unveiling of the “Ki”

The idea of the “Ki” as the first built “Racing Space Craft” was an instant success and Renzu was approched by Interspace Commerce. Interspace brought them boarding onto their stations and major financial backing to help Renzu with Research & Development Team, in return the Interspace Pilots would have the ability to help assess the new Renzu ship’s and get training on vessels from the creators first hand.

In 680 A.S. Renzu was able to use the Diplomatic connections that came with their Interspace Commerce allies to coordinate with Ageira Technologies to develop a Space Race-Course. Plans were started immediatly, designs for the course were finally completed in 685 A.S. the only thing remaining was location. Dublin was finally agreed upon and supplies started getting mass transported to the Dublin system ending in an Asteroid Field that was Christened “Sazuka Asteroid Field” later renamed to the Hood Asteroid Field by the Bretonian Government. The Race Course was finally finished in 735 A.S. and generated great revenue for Renzu enabling them to broaden their vessels to Fighter Crafts.

The Race Track in Dublin created such great Revenue for Renzu, Interspace Commerce, & Ageira that a new station was built specifically to enhance Renzu’s Craft Design. “Renzu Shipyards” was built in the “Oita” system which was kept secret from most of the populace within Sirius.

The course continued to pull in Revenue until 752 A.S. when the race-course went abandoned due to the Molly Revolt. The asteroid field layed dormant until 798 A.S. when the IMG bought the space around the Race Course and the Race devices themselves for an astounding 1,824,987,000 credits.

The buyout of the Race Track in Dublin allowed Renzu to partake in the vision that they had their sights on, for a long time. A Cruiser Class Vessel could now be designed, tested, & produced. A job suited for Renzu’s newest and most secure development facility “Renzu Shipyards”.

The unveiling of “Talarca” Cruiser didn’t happen until late 805 A.S. due to the new challenges Renzu had as this being their first venture into Capital Class Vessels & the hiatus of the Nomad War during 800-802 A.S. however it’s time was short-lived. It’s legacy may always be overshadowed by the tragic Incident at Oder Shipyard, New Berlin.



The Technology Expo of 806 A.S. was held at Oder Shipyard, New Berlin and expectations were high on the newest Cruiser Class Vessel that hadn’t even been opened up for sale yet. The ship had met or surpassed all of it’s goals in terms of agility, propulsion and targeting, the only remaining item was weapon demonstration. The first weapons salvo of basic guns went without a hitch and all prospects looked good for a good reception of their first cruiser model. Once they attempted to fire their missile launchers this all changed. Apparently the missile salvo’s got caught in the launching ports that were located on the ships underside. Civilians soon saw the ship go in flames and were it not for Renzu’s magnificent Safety regulations having all operation seats setup as rapid-ejecting escape pods there would have been a greater catastrophe. Whilst everyone survived Renzu also saw it’s life dwindling as they took a risky chance and invested 95% of the Companies revenue into the development of this new vessel.

Renzu now looking like it would be a bankrupt company due to it’s failed “Talarca Cruiser”, would most likely have went to the wayside here if it wasn’t for the Gas Miners Guild who had an executive at the expo. In fact, the GMG proposed to financially back Renzu and allow their pilots to use their technology if Renzu would help develop future Models for the GMG. Renzu not wanting the alternative, quickly agreed to the terms and was able to rebuild the company relying on their flourishing Racer & Fighter models.

Over the next 7 years Renzu was able to recover their lost stock, and was able to open multiple other production facilities, they went up from 2 production facilities to 6 facilities throughout Kusari space. In the year 815 A.S. GMG produced a fighter model that had a good basis but fell to the wayside as it had a very low quality power-plant and the weapon mounts were very proprietary, two years later GMG put the design on the market as it had cost them in revenue. Renzu quickly jumped on the chance and bought out the plans from their newest ally who sold it to them at a discounted price.

Renzu engineers quickly began work on a new Wasupu model and the first thing that was done was an engine modification that allowed a larger power plant. Once released the Renzu Corp. Wasupu turned into an instant success and Sirius saw the ship being flown in every corner of space.

Over the years 817-819 Renzu has been in the works of developing a Liner out of “Renzu Shipyards” and made it’s maiden voyage on-time in 819 A.S.
