-===== History ===== 
-Universal Cinemaitcs was created in [[timeline:ye_02]], and spearheaded by visionaries Maio, Michi, and Sowaji. Its development was supported by the [[faction:yamatai:ketsurui_clan]]. Maio remained President until the end of the company, while Michi served as Chief of Production and Sowaji as co-Chairman, who remained as well. Michi left the company in [[timeline:ye_15]] after disagreements over the quota of female employees, and was replaced by Edward Krueger. Most of its production was based on [[planet:yamatai]], in the capital city of [[location:Geshrinopolis]]. By the end of [[timeline:ye_14]], its top year, it employed over 250,000 people from across the galaxy. 
- 
-It was known for its big productions and high quality filmmaking, as well as its ensemble of well-known actors/actresses and directors. By the end of [[timeline:ye_17]] however, the popularity had been decreasing for the company, due to its loss of the monopoly on film making to other newcomer film companies. Its last feature, Magic Spell (released in [[timeline:ye_19]]), managed to become a [[wp>Cult hit]], however it did not get enough profit for the company to get out of debt, and in September [[timeline:ye_19]], Universal filed for bankruptcy and sold all of its assets, as well as its studio grounds. Most of it was split between [[corp:stardust_pictures]], with whom it had done several productions before, and [[corp:yukosfilm]], who's members had been in the company before. Other companies maintained use of their facilities, until Geshrinopolis was destroyed in the [[timeline:events:fourth_elysian_war]], although the remains of the studios were brought to [[location:hoshiutsu_studios]] at the Memorial of Fallen Studios. 
- 
-=====Television & Radio===== 
- 
-During the glory days of Universal, it maintained an extensive network of television and radio stations, most notably UTC 4 to 8, UTC Sports 1 and 2, and UTC News. UTC News was able to weather Universal's sell-out, and was ultimately shut down in [[timeline:ye_22]]. 
- 
-On the radio it had ownership over URS 1 to 3 & News, UpLink Station, and C-101. These stations were mostly shut down, but UpLink remains as of [[timeline:ye_38]]. 
- 
-=====Logo & Theme ===== 
-Universal's logo saw some transition from its beginning to end. First, it was a blue canvas with three five-point stars in the centre. This logo was in use until [[timeline:ye_09]], when two stars were added, for a total of five stars that rotated in a pentagon. A special 'ten years anniversary' was used in [[timeline:ye_12]], which featured the five stars on top of a picture of [[planet:yamatai]]. This logo was in use since then until the company's end in [[timeline:ye_19]]. During film intros, the logo was shown with the orchestral tune of the company, known as the 'Universal's Fanfare'.
