Shinnakasu
A space heavy industry that represents the Japan area.
A heavy Industry Manufacturer that managed the reaction engines in the VF-1's development. The core products are wide ranging, from aircraft and space ships up until automobiles. Popularity is high among old car enthusiasts for such things as Shinakasu's sports cars and the Red Imperial, which were released before the First Interstellar War. There is a theory that this enterprise was incorporated during the reorganization of Japan's main domestic industries in the confusing period of the falling of the ASS-1, the Unification War and so on.

Shinsei Industry
An enterprise that turns out one after another the Unified Forces' main craft.

Viggers
A Destroid development enterprise that played a role in the birth of the Earth's humanoid weapons.
After the ASS-1 fell, the human race, who learned of the existence aliens, started the development of anti-giant humanoid weapons. Even though a lot of enterprises were participating during that development, Viggers existed centrally among them. The Monster, as well as such Destroids as the Tomahawk, Defender and so on, which were invested into the First Interstellar War, were developments by this company. Viggers is considered to have originally been the military vehicles department of an armaments development enterprise that became an independent business.

Barton's Transport and Cargo
Barton's Transport and Cargo is one of the largest privately owned cargo companies on the colony Eden. It deals with all kinds of cargo, including documentation courier and illegal goods. Clientele are a mix of both aligned (with the Unified Government) and unaligned people and agencies. As the company has a sterling reputation, most people have a generally good impression of the company. Freely trades between all respectable, paying customers, no matter their allegiance to the Unified Government.
The company has numerous Cargo Transport Ships, smaller ships and high-speed fold-capable shuttles.
Owner: Barton, Terry "Cowboy".
Recently, due to expanding non-aligned clientele, Barton has felt it to be prudent to move to the 'Nam office and work from that comparably neutral location.
Locations:
Eden
'Nam in the Sisko system—in one of the lower levels of the renovated ship/lorbital station.

FamilyMart
The familiar convenience store that's a "combination with you" [a pun in Japanese, with the alternative meaning: a convenience (store) with you].
The convenience store from Japan that we're familiar with; its nickname is "Famima."
There are very few enterprises that lived through the First Interstellar War. This franchise's expansion will have grown to achieve the 1 millionth store in the galaxy by the year 2059. Several branches have opened even only in the Macross Frontier, such as the Shibuya area store and the San Francisco area store.
Also, Ranka Lee, who had her debut in practically no time, was quickly appointed as FamilyMart's promotional model. Her first commercial song was FamilyMart's jingle.
Even in 2059, the interior layout of the stores are the same as the present day "Famima".

Nyan-nyan
A Chinese cuisine chain that has flapped its wings in the galaxy for 50 years, and has carried out a chain expansion on the scale of the universe.
In 2059, it approaches 50 years since its establishment, and besides the Earth, a total of 50 stores have been opened at places such as other planets and in the Long Range Emigration Fleets. Even though originally it was a store that did business on the streets within the SDF-1 Macross at the time of the First Interstellar War, after the store had been moved to Macross City after the war, it gradually enlarged its scale of operations.
Incidentally, the founder is the legendary singer Lynn Minmei's uncle and his wife. The restuarant is famous for Minmei having helped at it before her debut. Ranka Lee also worked part-time in the Macross Frontier Shibuya area branch, before her debut.

TRAXS
TRAXS is named after Allister Traces, the founder of the illegal underground sport. Local authorities have had trouble pinning down the organization. Few believe that it has had ties with Anti-UN organizations in the past. However, in one of his very few "public" announcements on the Galaxy Network, Mr. Traces has called the Traces X, or TRAXS, a private sport that doesn't have ties or allegiances for or against any political movement.
TRAXS is an illegal racing/gambling ring that puts the pilots lives on the line as much as their reputation. While not necessarily an all out Mobile Weapon [mecha] fight, the premise of the match is to beat all other opponents to the end of the race track, by whatever mean necessary. This has led to a high mortality rate for both the racers and the attendant audience, and consequently banned from Unified Government space.
The Banning from the Unified Government space has not particularly bothered the organizers of the sport, as few good races worlds cannot be duplicated outside of the Unified Government sphere of influence. In Sector 15, the races have continued to occur until just recently, although there are rumours in the underground that local sites may be used again in 2061 TRAXS UFC #45. The TRAXS UFC, or Ultimate Fighter Challenge, brings Mobile Weapon [mecha]-heads to the table with their best and most powerful Variable Fighters, and the pilots crazy enough to challenge the track for a grand prize of incredible funds. The Last TRAXS UFC was won by a My-clonized Zentrādi pilot in a modified VF-171, who enjoyed the victory only long enough to last across the finish line; whereupon his Valkyrie exploded in a fiery crash landing. The Valkyrie's the inventor committed himself to winning the next year's competition.
