Following the fragmentation of the Kosa Nostra syndicate, former Caporegime Marcella Fiora established an independent criminal enterprise under the name The Nera. The organization originated from Fiora's pre-existing "Fiora Regime" and has since evolved into a highly structured, corporate-style syndicate operating autonomously across multiple sectors.
The Nera maintains an estimated personnel roster exceeding three hundred operatives, distributed across various urban and frontier zones. Recruitment emphasizes individuals with a background in finance, politics, corporate management, or covert operations. Physical intimidation is viewed as secondary to social engineering, financial acumen, and strategic influence.
Their organizational structure is modeled after legitimate corporate governance:
'The Chair' - Retains sole executive authority.
'The Board' - Functions as an advisory body comprising top political, financial, and operational assets.
'The Directors' - Manage wide operational territories and specialized criminal divisions.
'The Supervisors' - Act as internal enforcers, overseeing mid-tier activities and loyalty enforcement.
'The Employees' - Constitute fully inducted operatives trusted to manage independent criminal ventures.
'The Interns' - Represent low-level prospects undergoing evaluation before full integration.
Operational methodology prioritizes decentralization, granting operatives significant autonomy while retaining strategic oversight through assigned Supervisors. This model enables The Nera to conduct a broad spectrum of activities without overexposing the leadership or operational command structures.
Primary criminal activities include corporate fraud, financial manipulation, political bribery, asset laundering, and high-level espionage. Low-level criminal activities are typically delegated to Associates or affiliated contractors, ensuring that full members maintain a degree of professional distance from direct criminal exposure.
Due to the intelligence and operational sophistication required, The Nera offers higher-than-average financial compensation compared to traditional syndicate structures. Profitability is closely tied to performance, with operatives incentivized through commission-based earnings tied to the success of their ventures. Instances of internal theft, embezzlement, or loyalty breaches are met with swift and terminal disciplinary measures.
The Nera is currently assessed as a rising threat within multiple sectors, particularly in Confederacy-controlled territories. Its strategic use of corporate fronts, complex shell structures, and discreet political influence operations complicates standard counter-syndicate methodologies.
Continuous monitoring of Fiora Holdings Corporation and associated subsidiaries is recommended. Indicators suggest that The Nera is transitioning from an emergent criminal network into a stabilized financial and political threat with expansionist objectives.
