The Yugumo Corporation was founded on 3日 5月 41年 when Motoyoshi Hanei Kaisha merged with the Sunflower Corporation. It was marked by the reunification of the Motoyoshi Clan, and their return to the Yugumo Cluster.²⁾³⁾ Their first new product would be the Misha-Class Explorer, and their first venture was the Kikyo Pie Company were both a huge success. When Omnihue and Varihue products were released later that year, the Yugumo Corporation had a product that they would sell licenses for to other Corporations.⁴⁾

When the corporation gained the contract with the Star Army of Yamatai to produce ships for the replacement of the First Expeditionary Fleet it paved the way for them to become part of the Star Army Military Industrial Complex.

In YE 42, the Yugumo Corporation designed and launched the Starchaser III-Class Ferry and concurrently restored and improved PAINT to the Yugumo Cluster.⁵⁾ Part of their continued mission to the former Sunflower Corporation responsibility of colonial management within the region. That same year marked the start of construction on Port Jiyuu, a Ge-H1-7A - Kōdaina Minato-Class Orbital Installation that would be placed in the Jiyuu System.⁶⁾

Takeda Fleet would become the first official Yugumo Corporation Fleet that same year. ⁷⁾⁸⁾⁹⁾

In YE 43, the corporation went ahead with plans to rebuild the Tange System which had not been restored after the Second Mishhuvurthyar War.¹⁰⁾ This project was the gateway to the successful Ryu Keiretsu And Yugumo Corporation Agreement of YE 43¹¹⁾ It was also when Yugumo Fleetworks was formed and became the official shipbuilding division of the corporation. They also began to form healthy business relationships with the Mining Guild¹²⁾ and other companies in the Kikyo Sector.

The following year, in YE 44, the company designed and launched the Tanya-Class Expeditionary Heavy Cruiser and began to work on the Colonization Initiative Alliance fleet which would consist of assets from the Star Army of Yamatai, Mining Guild, Iron Company, Ryu Keiretsu as well as their own contributions. The Colonization Initiative Alliance fleet departed the Jiyuu System in YE 45.1¹³⁾ for the Kosuke Sector.

In YE 45, the Colonization Initiative Alliance fleet named the Sharie System in the Kosuke Sector as their hub of operations in that sector. Port Jiyuu by default became the corporation's HQ for the new sector as well. Meanwhile, a shuffle of personnel which seen the rise of many members of the younger generation of the Motoyoshi Clan move up the corporate ladder, which included the appointment of the ambitious Motoyoshi Arisu as the new Kaicho(Chairman).¹⁴⁾

Also in YE 45, Yugumo Fleetworks completed construction of the first Tengumo-Class Space Station, Kumo no Kagayaki Station, in the Jiyuu System. The new station would become their corporate headquarters in the Kikyo Sector.

The Yugumo Corporation is divided into three operational divisions.

Operational Divisions
Ops Division	System	Headquarters
Yugumo Corporation Kikyo Operations	Jiyuu System	Kumo no Kagayaki Station
Yugumo Corporation Kosuke Operations	Sharie System	Port Jiyuu
Yugumo Nemesis Bastion Operations	Siren System	Nemesis Bastion

The divisions in the Kikyo Sector and the Kosuke Sector conduct Starship Building and Colonial Management. In the company's bustling shipyards, brilliant engineers and skilled artisans work tirelessly to push the boundaries of starship design and construction. They craft a diverse array of starships, ranging from agile explorer vessels to massive interstellar freighters. Their expertise is honed in providing Yamataians with high-quality products and is renowned for their quality and reliability. The company also has several other business ventures from entertainment to restaurants.

Simultaneously, in both sectors, the division specializes in colonial management. Their experts excel in terraforming, agricultural innovation, infrastructure development, expansion and management of established colonies, and socio-economic planning. Collaborating closely with the Yamatai Department of Colonization. An example of this is their continued management of Tokyo on Jiyuu III.

Shrouded in an enigma of utmost secrecy, the second operational division of the Yugumo Corporation operates from the elusive Nemesis Bastion—an installation known only to a select few. The activities conducted within this classified division are concealed behind layers of stringent security measures.

Nemesis Bastion serves as the epicenter of pioneering research and collaboration with the Star Army of Yamatai, Ketsurui Fleet Yards and Star Army Research Administration. While specific details remain obscured, it is widely speculated that this division conducts advanced research initiatives and forms critical partnerships for the advancement and defense of the corporation and its strategic allies. The exact nature of their work is veiled in secrecy, but it is indisputable that Nemesis Bastion plays a pivotal role in securing the Yugumo Corporation's future.

The Yugumo Corporation's products are divided into brand divisions.
