Founded officially in [[2795]], the corporation was originally named Ns-Shan Computer Tracking Company.  As Ns-Shan, the computer manufacturer was aggressive in selling its quality computers beneath the competition's prices. In 2795 it had 30% of the Lyran market and it formally changed its name.  The company began to buy up smaller companies to build itself up in dawn of the [[First Succession War]].

Nashan Diversified began a period of rapid growth when [[Margaret Doons]] took control of the company in [[3021]]. The young and ambitious Doons had recently mustered out of the LCAF and used her new control of the company to enter into the military hardware market. The company formed partnerships with [[Defiance Industries]] to open [[N&D#N&D Targeting Computers|N&D Targeting Computers]] on Furillo and the ambitious [[N&D#N&D Shipyards|N&D Shipyards]] project above Alarion.<ref name=HSLCp139>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 139</ref> The company added four new divisions as it expanded into the [[Federated Suns]] thanks to the free trade included in the [[Federated Commonwealth]] alliance. This propelled Nashan Diversified into a strong position in the superstate and made its CEO, Duchess Doons, the most powerful businesswoman in the FedCom.<ref name=20YUp93>''20 Year Update'', p. 90</ref>

By [[3067]], the company was the largest in the Lyran Alliance, adding a number of smaller companies as divisions, such as the Gulf Breeze Mining Union.  They were known for producing a wide range of products from pharmaceuticals to [[WorkMech|WorkMechs]].<ref name=H:HSp134/>

In [[3076]], Nashan Diversified had seemingly padded its lead as the largest company in Lyran space, shifting resources around the company and actually managing to increase the value of the company even as the Jihad continued. One StarCorps researcher even declared that "Nashan Diversified is to Defiance Industries what the Lyran Alliance is to the Marian Hegemony."<ref name=MMp92>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 92</ref>

After the [[Clan Invasion]], Nashan Shipping was hiring mercenary forces to guard their [[DropShip]]s and [[JumpShip]]s. Later investigations found that Nashan used some of these mercenary forces to deliver supplies to resistance cells operating in the Clan Occupation Zones.<ref>''Hot Spots'', pp. 20, 42</ref>

The position of CEO is passed down hereditarily through the [[House Doons|Doons family]], such as when a young Duchess [[Margaret Doons]] claimed the title in 3021 following the death of her father. The title of CEO holds tremendous power in the company, which allowed her to summarily disband its Board of Directors in [[3024]] and exercise more direct control over company operations.<ref name=HSLCp139/> Duchess Doons continued to hold that position until at least 3076.<ref name=MMp92>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 92</ref>
