Founded: ~150 years before Story
Based in: Amberette City, Kalos
Net Worth: $5.4 bil
Chairman/CEO/Director of Research: Ivan Cartwright Neith III
COO: Alyssa le Blanc
Majority Shareholders: Ivan Neith (~36%), Benjamin Allistair Neith (~15%*), Henrietta le Blanc (12%), KSFS Board of Directors (10%), Holocorp (8%), Misc. Members of the Neith Family (5%)
*Minor: Currently controlled by a trust until he comes of age.


Background: Founded in the middle of the last century, Neith Defense Solutions was created to respond to a mounting threat of foreign military against the nation of Kalos. NDS researchers and scientists pioneered the art of large Dust-based weaponry such as stationary cannons, long range mortars, and anti-armor weaponry. Over time, the company branched out into delivery methods, such as aircraft, seacraft, and more recently unmanned aerial drones and security measures. The Effigy Program has turned out surprising results in terms of automated artificial intelligence for personal and public security measures, implemented as low stress security droids in private companies across the region.

The company entered an uncertain period following the death of CEO Isaac Neith and the murder of Allistair Neith (heir apparent) and his wife by his deranged partner Memio Van Ellistein. Ivan Neith applied his skill with technology to bolster the research and development division and strengthen the company's corporate and foreign ties. Seats on the board of directors are currently held by Ivan Neith, COO Henrietta le Blanc, Lt. Colonel Vincent Strumfaust of the KSFS, and Director of Worldwide Operations for Holocorp Armando Perez along with representatives of other minor shareholders.

NDS has received criticism internationally for its involvement with the Kantonese Military and Faunus Forces alike, accusing the CEO of unethical war profiteering and supplying weapons to both sides of a conflict. While I.Neith maintains that this is to maintain objective apolitical standing for the company, members of the Human-Faunus conflict saw Neith Dust Weaponry on both sides of the fight. Furthermore, the presence of the Kanto military on the board of directors seems to undercut the political claims of Ivan Neith especially in light of the current military industrial complex of Kanto. Representatives from the company deny that they support Kanto's current regime but NDS weaponry has been seen guarding Kantonese bases for some time. There is also the small matter of weapons from the Neith factories ending up in the hands of gangsters, specifically Team Rocket. Ivan Neith insists that these are stolen and that NDS has no affiliation with Team Rocket.

The youngest member of the Neith family, Benjamin, is currently in training to become a hunter. He has little interest in the company and upon coming of age intends to sell his shares to his uncle to make him majority shareholder.
