Governance & Organization

Tukera's head is Count Blaine Trulla Tukera and his two brothers. Duchess Margaret who is married to Count Tukera, is also close to the Imperial Throne.

Tukera's intelligence services, the Vemene, are feared for their ruthlessness by both citizens and the corporation's employees.
