Nagashi Corporation
Coburn - We Interrupt This Program (Kaleb Mix)
Serenity Station
The Nagashi Corporation is a mysterious group that supplies enormous amounts of processed materials to people throughout the galaxy. They're very widely known, supplying branded trade-items to anyone across the galaxy, and constantly focusing on creating their own technology. The few humans in their employment are humans that broke off from alliances to create their own futures, free from terrestrial laws and influences. Generally, however, the Nagashi family, ultimate controllers of the corporation, rarely leave Serenity Station, preferring to utilize their next-generation of artificial intelligence constructs to manage affairs while they live in the relative luxury their lifestyle affords them.
NEW! NAGASHI CORPORATION PRODUCTS!
Artificial Neuron Network Adaptation (ANNA)
The Nagashi Corporation's line of ANNA constructs is a natural candidate for the discerning buyer. Highly valuable, each ANNA is individually programmed to meet the customer's needs, and given the very best equipment Nagashi Corporation can give it. With live computational abilities that rival Cray Incorporated's ZAS Supercomputers, the ANNA Can easily manage your entire fleet, free of charge. Observe one in action today aboard one of our fabulous carriers, and see what ANNA can do for your company!
TY-7 Engineer
The TY-7 Engineer is the ultimate choice for the discreet manager who wants to improve the productivity of his ship or plant. Cheap to buy, and produced en-masse, bulk purchasing of TY-7 is the way of the future. Modern companies such as Macsoft, NvidiATI, Sony-Phillips and Roloreal have all converted the majority of their assembly lines to TY-7 based systems. Combined with other products in the Nagashi line, the TY-7 can easily serve you company in the very best way possible.

Yes, it's true, the TY-7 does do... those things. Sure, it's designed to repair, construct and maintain equipment - and yes, they're the backbone of the Firefly XR series. They're also a fantastic frontline fighter, we've found - managed to decimate an entire native population so we could stripmine it. Those destroy just as well as they kill. Ultimate fighters, in our opinion - mindless, programmed only to destroy. We've had fantastic results when combining them with an uplink to ANNA, plus they have plenty of independent programming. We're actually working on a method to deploy them to deep space for combat purposes... but it's still in the basic stages, problems with the code.

JR-1 Flares
For the discerning military commander, Nagashi's JR-1 Flares are the perfect investment - small, nimble, and efficient. Naturally, some companies design ships that can take a thousand hits. Nagashi disagrees. Our personal stratagem is that a ship that can take only ten is far better - if it never gets hit. The JR-1 series is the pinnacle of this philosophy. Utilising gravitational manipulation, it can fire two plasma projectiles at an incredibly rate, coupled with a signifcant rate of fire. Small weight and incredible maneuverability combine flawlessly. An entire squadron of JR-1s, linked through one of Nagashi's multitude of communication systems work like a knife - delivering quick blows until the enemy stands defeated. Each comes coupled with options for two TY-7 Engineers, enabling rapid in-combat repair to vital systems. Combined, this makes the JR-1 a formidable element in any fleet.

Armor problems? No, there's none at all - we repair any impacts with the TY-7 additions easily, and besides, it's not easy to hit. Sure, a bunch would knock it for six, but you've got nothing to worry about. Trust us. Okay, just don't let it get shot though, seriously. We designed the armor before recent weapon developments, and it punches through easily.

Firefly XR-67 The Firefly XR series is the pride of Nagashi Corporation, often sent on diplomatic trade missions. Currently controlled by one of Nagashi's ANNA systems, Firefly XR-67 is a showcase of the latest Nagashi technology. Controlled and maintained a network of Artificial Intelligence constructs, combined with the highly versatile TY-7, the Firefly-67 is a showcase of the latest in Nagashi technology. Featuring significant numbers of projectile canons mounted on the sides of the ship for defensive purposes, the XR-67 has one 99% of projections against enemies with its advanced strategies, combined with its large 25-ship fleet of JR-1, magnetically clamped onto the tob of the ship for rapid insertion. Measuring only ten metres from end to end, the Firefly XR-67 is small, nimble, and efficient.
The Firefly XR Shuttle! Travel in style, the Nagashi way.
Spoiler:
Actually, I just noticed I have to write the technical specifications of the ships. But, so nobody accuses me of ass-pulling:
ANNA's essentially an incredibly advanced super-computer, meaning tech-based issues are easy for her to understand. This is coupled with the weakness that she is, indeed, a computer - while she is programmed to analyse and learn quickly, unexpected situations will flounder her.
The TY-7 can be modified for the purposes required - for example, a scout team would be decked with an array of observation devices. They all feature an array of cameras and microphone, however. They're approximately half the height of a human when they're crawling, but three times as long, end to end, and their systems allow for a high degree of flexibility and agility, jumping and crawling without much difficulty. Like all off Nagashi's tech, it's small, fast, but weak.
The JR-1 Flare is magnetically clamped onto the top Firefly - a feature that can be reversed swiftly to 'catapult' it into combat, allowing for full deployment of all 25 ships in an incredible 1.79 seconds from the moment the order goes out. It uses two sets of twin electrograv thrusters on the rear and bottom which power it forward swiftly, allowing for rapid maneuvering at high speeds. The lack of a pilot also makes them capable of inhumanly precise maneuvering, changing position back and forth on three axes at once. Again, despite the Engineer on board, they don't hit hard and a few hits will take them out. It also has two plasma projectile weapons on each wingtip.
The Firefly is tiny, since it doesn't require the maintenance of life. Again, it features electrograv thrusters, this time on all sides, and has four moderate power lasers on its bow, on the top of the ship. The ship is further protected by an array of ten plasma projectile canons on either side. Its armor is incredibly weak by comparison to the other flagships.
Electrograv is a tech by Nagashi - it uses high-voltage electricity to create a desired point of intense gravity at a certain point. Dishes placed at these points are designed to 'catch' these gravitational impulses, allowing the ship to rapidly move on any axis. They're also highly unstable - a damaged thruster will easily malfunction, and the results can be catastrophic. Another unintended side effect is that the gravitational points are not limited to the ship that creates them, meaning that anything in the area is affected.
Plasma Projectile weapons are simple - they magnetically throw balls of plasma at high speed. The balls are approximately ten centimetres long, but quickly lose their energy once they hit a solid object, making them a weak weapon. An unitended side effect of the two combined is that an electrograv thruster CAN pull a plasma projectile off-course, meaning that for the split second while it clears the area, a ship doesn't maneuver with any thrusters in range.

Who created them.
Right now, they build themselves.
Originally the company was a random corporation from a generic Terran planet that broke away when space travel became more viable, opting to run most of its operations in space, becoming its own planet to avoid taxes and trade laws.
