The oldest record of the firm is a charter from the government of the Sylean Federation, but family tradition holds the company to be several centuries older.

There is considerable rivalry with Imperiallines throughout the Imperium, and Oberlindes Lines within the Marches.

Tukera Lines is responsible for the unusual political situation of worlds in Atsah Subsector. Tukera Factor Shekhagimu, a seasoned diplomat and businessman, used his knowledge of the Vargr to present himself to the Atsak Federation, the local Vargr government. After a show of appropriate military strength and cunning, each world was ceded to a separate Vargr clan warlord, with the exception of Atsah, which was claimed for the ‘Imperial’ warlord, the Emperor, who ruled by proxy through his Duke. Most people viewed all of these worlds as Imperial, despite the technical legality that they were not. Due to the free-handed dealings of Shekhagimu, one of the most resource-rich worlds, Atadl (Deneb 3015) wasn’t ceded to the Imperium. At the same time, Tukera established its domain headquarters there. It should be noted that this bothered the Imperium greatly, and for centuries overtures were made to bring the system into the fold. Tukera and Atsah's consistent support of Atadl's solidarity caused Arbellatra to express her discontent, by ordering the X-boat route to enter Deneb by way of the Imperial world Sherad (Deneb 3116), only granting Atsah a subordinate branch.
