North Star Industries

North Star Industries (индустрия северной звезды, 'industriya severnoy zvezdy'), or more commonly referred to natively as Induvenoz (Derived from the translated Russian above), is a major robotics company headquartered in Vladivostok, Russian Federation.

History
North Star Industries was created in 1992, just two years prior to the fall of the WSSEU. Originally, it was named the Podrazdeleniye Robototekhniki ("подразделение робототехники", or 'robotics division') as it was originally a creation of the government of the WSSEU, then-undergoing it's disastrous transfer to democracy. It officially adopted the names Induvenoz and North Star Industries in August 1995, months after the collapse of the WSSEU. People tend to call NSI the 'Late Child of Russia' as a result of these date-based coincidences.

North Star Industries is notable as being one of the first non-American or Canadian companies to adopt the usage of blitz computing, and was arguably the first group ever to input it into robots. However, NSI was beaten by the Googieplex Industrial Triumvirate to the invention of semi-blitzing, and it is stated this may have started their rivalry.

In 2004, NSI obtained the rights to their now headquarters in Vladivostok following apparently five years of legal trouble beginning in 1999, due to a rival company snatching up their slots. It is believed NSI got their victory through more.. dirty means. Since then, NSI has become the largest of the Big Three (Alchembots and Googieplex Industrial Triumvirate being the other two) by production of materials, however it lags behind in research & development and percieved autonomy/economic stability.

Industry
NSI is notable for having a very fixed and limited buyer count, serving both the former WSSEU and most of Eastern Asia, and having just started accepting buyers in the European continent by 2023. As for it's products, NSI's specialties are industrially aligned and non-humanoid robots, believing that humanoid robots impedes their possible effort output. These tricks and traps are common criticisms against NSI, and many perceive the company as being both extremely stubborn and unwilling to try new things.

Despite being a Russia-based company, NSI's three largest buyers are the Federation of the East, Japan and the United States; the latter was the only non-Asian company NSI exported to until 2023.
