ANAHEIM ELECTRONICS

:''This article is about the fictional corporation in the Gundam metaseries, Universal Century timeline. There is a real life 'Anaheim Electronics' based in Anaheim, California, however, there is no article for it yet. Anaheim Electronics is also the name of a business unit, which manufactures embedded microprocessor hardware, operating under Mechanized Propulsion Systems Incorporated.''

'Anaheim Electronics' is a fictional civilian manufacturing company that appeared in the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam anime metaseries. Based on the Moon, Anaheim Electronics originally produced a wide range of technological applications from consumer electronics to battleships and even space colonies. Their service do not end at electronic goods, according to Anaheim Journal, they also have departments providing cosmetics, vacation travelling plans (with their own resort space colonies) and credit cards, ultimately fitting the definition of a zaibatsu. Upon the end of the One Year War, Anaheim was able to acquire the assets and personnel of the Zeonic Corporation - a mobile suit manufacturing firm of the defeated Principality of Zeon. This merger enabled Anaheim Electronics to enter the lucrative business of mobile suit production. As such, the firm was contracted by the Earth Federation to become its principal mobile suit provider until the end of the Second Neo-Zeon War.
Anaheim Electronics is known for its profit-oriented mindset - creating advanced mobile weapons for any faction that would be willing to pay, then selling the same technology to the former's enemy. During the rise of the oppressive Titans taskforce, Anaheim funded the AEUG and gave it access to their technology and safe shelter as the Titans restricted their trading engagements, despite the Earth Federation Forces and the Titans being their primary customer. Later, the company would service contracts from the remnants of the Principality of Zeon such as Axis and Neo-Zeon. According to GundamOfficials, this is due to the gigantic company structure. With several development departments, each departments can be contracted by different fractions without needing to notify the main executive board. This policy is simply adopted to minimize the companies overall responsibility; after the main battle, they can always just apply the penalty on a single department's head instead of making the whole company suffer.
In the story of ''Silhouette Formula 91'', after U.C. 0123, Anaheim Electronics lost its contract bid with the EFF to SNRI's new miniaturized mobile suit designs, which were cheaper, more versatile and higher in performance. Anaheim Electronics had to maintain its low profile until U.C. 0153, and financially supported League Militaire in secrecy defending Earth from Zanscare Empire.
According to the official timeline, Anaheim Electronics remains as the main manufacturer of mobile suits in the Earth Sphere until the Earth Federation itself was disbanded in the U.C. 0200s, although its monopoly in the field was literally obliterated since the second Universal Century with the entrance of competitor SNRI.
