Gandrake Enterprises

Gandrake Enterprises is a technological megacorporation and are the antagonists of Samurai Legend Musashi. An industrial corporate enterprise throughout the world of Samurai Legend Musashi, Gandrake Enterprises maintains a firm foothold and grip on society.

Years ago, Gandrake Enterprises came about to power through their creation of the Nebulium Engine, a perpetual motion energy device powered by the common resource Nebulite, and is central to many technological applications. Though this revolutionary breakthrough in applied technologies has brought a greater quality of life to the people, eventually, exploitation and greed came to manifest within the company not too soon; Mycella exclaims the company is built on a foundation of blood, by which the company also engages in underhanded dealings, amoral practices, coercion, and appeals by force. Some of these include:


 * Pursuit of establishing weapons research and fighting applications for the creation and control of a military industrial complex; Ninjaroids are one result of this
 * The kidnapping and forced labor of magic users; as magic is what allows Nebulite to release its potential energy, magic users are put to work as processing units kept in stasis capsules to release magical power in Nebulite dust infused water. Magic users are essentially put to slave work by their exploitation under ownership of the Enterprise, robbing them of their freedom and human rights.
 * Unethical research methods; Gandrake enslaves magic users and also studies the Nebulite energy release method in order to find more cost efficient ways of releasing magical energy
 * Corporate strongarming and takeover by martial force; Glogg is evident of this as a brute who is the Director of Negotiations and uses his strength to ensure the company's favor by force, Rothschild ordered an attack on Antheum simply to capture Princess Mycella, knowing that she is a Mystic whose magical powers are legendary and surpass even her predecessors before her in her tribe's history, and it is hinted that the Mystics are not the only people who have been targeted into the present
 * Though not entirely shown, Gandrake may practice discriminatory engagement to those whom are not entirely for or tolerate the company's misdeeds; their monopoly over Nebulite and hold over society appears to ensure an embargo against the Mystics, as Mugwort's quest to restore the forge demands instead stealing Nebulite and may explain the exorbitant prices on food
 * The rampant disregard for the environment and establishing its installations in strategic places no matter the cost or obstacle; Wellspring Woods has ruins of a town throughout its forests and the Nebulium Tower imposingly is built there, implying its original inhabitants have been forced out years ago, and Picodon Jungle has been located as an ideal spot for reclamation for a laboratory for the Department of R&D

Nearly entirely automated with the employment of Ninjaroids, from basic physical labor, to security and data processing, the Enterprise is only run with live people who have proven themselves to be both extremely cunning and strong to become its high ranking directors and executives, not including magic users enslaved under their ownership. Mainstream society owes its progress due to the Enterprise, and it is also through this that the Enterprise practically rules by its corporate grasp. To ensure its safety from enemies and detractors, Gandrake Enterprises makes its headquarters on Rampart Isle, a treacherous island and natural fortress that makes entry by boat impossible.

Ultimately, their pursuit is world domination, and they appear to be successful towards this goal, until the summoning of the hero Musashi.
