-=====History=====
-With the increasing popularity of [[corp:stardust_pictures]], but with the failing results of [[corp:universal_cinematics]], long-time member of the Board of Directors of Universal Haraki Yuko left the company to form an own independent film company to stand as a opponent for Stardust. After several conversations with investors Teshima Manei and Allen Redford ([[species:nepleslian]]), Yuko was convinced he could set up a successful company. As Universal kept loosing their hold on the film market, Yuko finally conceived his company in [[timeline:ye_17]]. Manei would serve on the Board of Directors as co-Chairman, while Allen would become Chief of Production.
-Afterwards, Yuko went to hire an ensemble of both famous and upcoming actors/actresses and directors who would later star in various Yukosfilm productions, including: Horothi Mana, Kishathe Jeko, Eguchi Ebei, Izubu Kane, Sonoda Kato, Frederick Nutbon and Elisabeth Vanders (who would become the highest-paid actress of [[timeline:ye_22]]) and remains most-awarded actress of all time.
-The first breakthrough of Yukosfilm would be the //Visitors from Outer Space// franchise, which established the company's name on the film market. The first film was so successful that it would become the highest grossing film of [[timeline:ye_18]]. One other reason Yukosfilm has remained a big player over the years is its implementation of ground-breaking film-making techniques, such as the important HydroScope cinema systems developed in [[timeline:ye_27]], which has been in use galaxy-wide ever since, even by other film companies. More recent success has come from the distribution of the Professor Yuko franchise, starting with [[wip:media:professor_yuko_and_the_secret_of_the_tomb]] in late [[timeline:ye_37]].
-In [[timeline:ye_19]], when [[corp:universal_cinematics]] collapsed, Yukosfilm acquired several of its leading staff, including former Co-chairman Kikkawa Michi, as well as several of its former subsidiaries //NDE Productions// and //Italic Cartoons Productions//, the latter which would split off from the company in [[timeline:ye_28]] and become //Italic Animation//.
- //Lunarflix Lighting & Effects// was created in [[timeline:ye_25]] by long-time effects designers Ligathe Nemro and Frank Jonas to accompany some of the company's releases, specialising in visual effects, becoming the biggest Effects company in [[timeline:ye_27]] after the release of the [[wp>Cult hit]] //The Blue Moon//.
-The office of Franchise Manager was created shortly after the release of the second //Time Travellers// in [[timeline:ye_26]] and has since been taken by producer Edward Fornel. The role of the manager was to ensure continuity in the serial films and provide a common ground for franchises to be built upon.
-Teshima Manei died in [[timeline:ye_35]], and he was replaced as co-Chairman by his son Hogei. Allen retired as Chief shortly after in [[timeline:ye_36]], and his place was taken by [[species:abwehran]] Frederik Baumann. With this, two of the three founders are out as of [[timeline:ye_36]], with only Yuko remaining as president.
-=====Television & Radio=====
-Yukosfilm has grown extensively in the last years in the field of TV and Radio. In [[timeline:ye_26]] Yukosfilm Electronic Entertainment was created to put against [[corp:stardust_pictures|Stardust's]] Television & Radio, combining Yukos Television and Yukos Radio, which had been created in [[timeline:ye_20]]. Since then, Yukosfilm has gained control over 3 main TV channels, namely YEEC 1 to 3; and three limited channels: TravelNews, Sports Daily, and The Kids Channel. [[media:today_galactic]] plays on YEEC 1 and is the most viewed news show of all time.
-Yukosfilm is also owner of 6 Radio channels, namely YERC 1 to 3, Hits Radio FM, 89.7FM and Classic FM. YERC News was shut down due to lack of listeners in [[timeline:ye_36]], after 4 years of service.
-=====Logo & Theme=====
-The logo of Yukosfilm was first adapted in [[timeline:ye_18]] and features a golden [[wp>Parrot]] under a rainbow archway. When used in intros, a short video is shown with the parrot flying and descending on a branch, originally olive plants, with the rainbow crossing overhead, and the name appearing beneath the branch. Although the first logo video was hand-painted and -coloured, it has since then transcended to a real-live video, with the current version shot in [[timeline:ye_34]], featuring the tame parrot Yuumi. A short melody, dubbed the "Parrot's Song", accompanies the logo transitions.

-=====Films=====
-Yukosfilm is mostly known for its many [[wp>Science fiction]] films and franchises, ever since the launch of the first HydroScope feature //Strange Worlds//, as well as its comedy's produced by Comedy House Entertainment. Its #1 Highest Grossing Film, //The Blue Moon//, is still the best-earned sci-fi movie in the galaxy and the #4 highest grossing film ever made. The franchises //Visitors from Outer Space// and //Galactic Conflict// are the #1 and #3 highest grossing film franchises ever made. Because of its multiple owned subsidiaries, most of the company's production are done inside Yukosfilm.
