[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 7394623, member: 50895"] The [B]Yakuza[/B] are major players in the setting, a MegaCorp unto themselves, though they operate both legal and illegal companies, shell companies to hide the money trail. They are involved in the slave trade, illegal salvage operations, narcotics trafficking, arms trafficking, smuggling goods and people, patent and IP theft with cheap knockoff versions of better quality tech goods, and though not pirates themselves, they facilitate the pirate trade with places to hide, black markets to sell stolen goods and starship parts, and shadow banks. As more traditional Yakuza operations they are involved in loansharking, racketeering/protection, prostitution, gambling, and even control the entertainment industry in Kaidan from modern/futuristic entertainments, holosuites, to Kabuki theaters, street buskers, the porn industry and more. They operate both inside and outside the empire's domain of conquered worlds, with satellite offices in distant star systems.
