The Nanbu Heavy Industries, also referred to as Nanbu Industry, is a major Earth military manufacturer active in the late 22nd century owned by Kozo Nanbu.

History[]
Nanbu Heavy Industries is one of several companies owned by Kozo Nanbu. During the Great Garmillas War, the company was among various aerospace technology factories that operated under the authority of the United Nations' Space Defense Command. During the conflict, Nanbu Heavy Industries contributed to the development of the space battleship Yamato, the first Earth battleship capable of interstellar travel. The Yamato played a central role in Project Izumo and later in Program Yamato. Kozo Nanbu's son, Yasuo Nanbu, served on the battleship's crew. After the war, Nanbu Heavy Industries continued to be a major military manufacturer, and Kozo Nanbu emerged as one of the most influential figures in Earth's defense and economic development. Around the year 2207, Nanbu became involved with the Dezariam sympathizers, a group that supported an invasion of the Earth Federation by Dezariam, a country from the 32nd century that succeeded the current Earth regime. The company as a whole became entangled in this conspiracy. When the Dezariam Invasion of Earth began, Nanbu Heavy Industries provided a mansion to Major Alfon, the officer responsible for the Far East in Dezariam's occupation plan.
