Notable Locations
- Masamori - Largest city on planet, this polluted city consists of large population of middle class workers, yakuza controlled districts and manufacturing companies. The Yamato River courses through the city from mountains which share its name. It is home to the pleasure district known as Floating City.[45] The citizens regard themselves as Masakko and are known to enjoy celebrations.[46] The city's principal street was Tai-so Dalton Way.[47]
- Yoshitune Spaceport - Masamori's spaceport, east of the city itself. A city unto itself, the port is sometimes referred to as "Yoshi-Town". Hachiman Taro Electronics expanded the facilities to allow non-House Kurita merchants dealing with the corporation to have more freedoms they would not necessarily enjoy in the city itself. Crime amongst the warehouses during the 3050s was notably high.[48]
- Hachiman Technical Institute - Founded by Coordinator Hugai Kurita, this school was created to train students in the repair and restoration of battlefield technologies. Students are trained to salvage and repair conventional vehicles, aerospace fighters, BattleMechs, and DropShips. Of note is an emphasis on rebuilding machines with common scrap.[49]
- Tanadi Computers - Located in the city of Masamori, Tanadi Computers was Combine domestic manufacturer of computers and communication equipment.[50] The company became a rival of Hachiman Taro Electronics, where it ultimately fell into bankruptcy. The remnants were then purchased by HTE.
- Hachiman Taro Electronics - Also known as HTE, Hachiman Taro Electronics was founded in the 3050s by Chandrasekhar Kurita; Hachiman Taro translates approximately as "the second born son of the god of war", an oblique reference to Chandrasekhar's place within the ruling family of the Combine and his role in the war against the Clans.[51] The Hachiman Taro facilities were destroyed by the Word of Blake in May 3070.[52]
Planetary History
By 3025 Hachiman was renowned for being a center of computer and electronics manufacture for House Kurita. This meant that the ISF had a large presence on the planet, with their agents infiltrating the planetary government and not the industries.[1]
Battle of Masamori
In April 3056, Hachiman Taro Electronics or HTE, owned by Sri Chandrasekhar Kurita brought in his own security force, consisting of the 17th Reconnaissance Regiment (nicknamed the Camacho's Caballeros). The Regiment was sign of trouble in months to come. Previous months, the various Yahuza groups and HTE rival Tanadi Computers had grown jealous and tired of not getting Kurita notable. By November, they convinced the ISF that Chandrasekhar had turn traitor and engineered events that would trigger open conflict between Kurita's mercenaries and local garrison force, the 9th Ghost Regiment. In the initial assault the mercenaries were able repel while it scout infantry was able slipped past enemy lines to ISF headquarters to prove the their employer's innocence. The conflict destroyed much of water front around HTE's compound at Yamato River.[53]
Blakist Raids
During the events leading up to the Battle of Masamori, Tanadi Computers and their yakuza allies issued a false announcement that HTE had developed a new faster-than-light communication system. This brought Word of Blake commandos in Mid October. The Blakist raid was used as cover for ISF troopers to storm Compound, however was rebuffed by the 17th Recon.
However, after the November when Tanadi Computer/HTE feud had been resolved, the Blakists returned to Hachiman on its holiday of Chairman's Day Eve. Two Level II BattleMech forces with a platoon of Infantry stormed the Chairman's palace and HTE's Complex. The surprise raid successfully killed the Planetary Chairman, Earl Percival Fillington. However, the Blakists were rebuffed by both mercenaries and 9th Ghosts.[54]
The Blakists returned to Hachiman for a third time on the 2nd of May 3070, striking at the HTE complex again. This time they were successful, destroying the various HTE facilities.[52]
