====Nakamura Information Technology====
''Popular Merchant Corporation''<br>
Officially, the Nakamura specialize in entertainment, information, and data technologies. Unofficially, their most valuable commodity is information. Think Google meets the NSA--they gather information on anything that could be remotely useful, from simple marketing data to the secrets of powerful individuals and organizations. No one really knows just how much data the clan really possesses; they have an entire department dedicated just to sifting through the vast databases for useful or valuable information. NITech is a member of the Planners Bloc.

=====Department of Public Esteem=====
NITech's Department of Public Esteem (Marketing & PR, basically) is headed by a staunch traditionalist who remembers a time when the Nakamura name was synonymous with quality products, not shady information-gathering (whether such a time actually existed is debatable). She is opposed to the very existence of the SPT, and while the department doesn't necessarily have a lot of sway in the company, they do have media contacts and the department head has powerful friends inside & outside the company. Worse, she appears to be entirely clean (to wit, lacking exploitable secrets). The department doesn't often take direct action against SPT, but isn't above undermining their operations.

=====Special Projects Team=====
''Secretive High-Tech Corporation''<br>
A subsidiary of the Data Acquisition & Application Department of Nakamura Information Technology (NITech), the Special Projects Team is a small unit with a mandate to acquire and apply information in ways that benefit the clan, and they have a great deal of leeway in how they interpret that mandate. They're effectively a privately run intelligence agency, with all that implies. They work extensively with freelancers (though they can bring Nakamura resources to bear, if need be) and aren't above working as freelancers themselves.

Special Project Team's relationship with the the B3I is complicated and often comes down to individual members of each organization. Officially, NITech cooperates fully with law enforcement and provides some of their gear. Off the books, NITech's cooperation often takes the form of B3I requisitioning information from them while pointedly ignoring how the information was obtained. But occasionally, SPT operatives go too far or run afoul of a B3I agent who refuses to look the other way, so NITech has had to leave a few "rogue" employees (and quite a few freelancers) on the proverbial hook. There are some within the agency that would love to shut down the SPT and confiscate all of NITech's data.

Division 56 mostly hates SPT. They resent having "civilian spies" interfering in their sphere of influence and they really resent NITech's attempts to gather information on Division 56 activities.
