Shin Dynamics

**Shin Dynamics** is a multi-billion dollar corporation, and the most powerful company within the city of Shanghai. Having existed since well before the Divide, Shin Dynamics remains as a notable weapons manufacturer and tech company; the very same company which has provided Jasper's Crimsonhead Militia with their state-of-the-art equipment.

## History

### Founding

Shin Dynamics in its initial inception started out as a simple tech company, which was a necessity in the booming economy that China experienced. Though not outright stated, common consensus believes that the Kazemori clan has always had ownership of the company, and that title has been passed down generation to generation. The Kazemori family was one that thrived off of a good business sense, but the business was forced to evolve when the Divide happened.

Either by providence or divine circumstance, Shanghai survived the catastrophe that the rest of the world endured. Shin Dynamics became a pillar of the community; while Shanghai was no sparkling sanctuary before the Divide, any notion of a government fell apart afterwards and left the Triad in control. Shin Dynamics shifted its focus into weaponry, and supply and demand saw them benefit by a huge margin.

## Organization

### Overview

Shin Dynamics focuses mainly on selling out weaponry and combat frames towards the highest bidder; this usually means arming local law enforcement, the Triad gangs, or neighboring territories. Given the current state of the world, it's a business that sees a rather impressive influx of cash, which is one of the reasons why Shin Dynamics maintains itself at the highest echelons of big business. To that extent, it allows them to manipulate the flow of guns in the city, and provides limited control with turning events towards their favor.

### Weapons Division

While mostly known for their contributions to the Crimsonhead Militia, Shin Dynamics prides itself with modernizing the field of battle as much as possible. Ballistics-based weaponry sees prevalence, with more advanced weaponry being less common. By all means, technology as a whole is still in a very rudimentary state compared to what it could be, as much of Avashesh still subsists on outdated tech. Still, Shin Dynamics fits itself with high explosives, magnetically accelerated projectiles and even tanks.

### Aeronautics Division

True to its name, the Aeronautics Division oversees construction of aircrafts and spacecrafts. While nowhere in the city could support such an undertaking, it is believed that Shin Dynamics has offsite facilities to create engines of war. This was a practice many years in the making, since the Divide left most space-worthy tech either lost or destroyed. The most that Shin Dynamics has managed to achieve, as far as anyone knows, are the Black Ships; a heavily armed aerial assault platform that saw significant use in Jasper's campaign against the Spiral Isles.

### Mecha Division

Combat frames are a somewhat common occurrence that saw mass production sometime following the Divide. They usually come in two flavors; suits and rigs. Suits, as the name might imply, function more like powered armor, similar to what General Ozark used. Rigs are more traditional mechs, towering above common folk and normally introduced as fast-acting ground troopers and heavy units.
