Codex/Tora Heavy Industries
A Nipponese Zaibatsu, with origins in the 1800s. What began as a humble enterprise started by a blacksmith is currently the largest Japanese megacorp. Its products range from farming equipment to bleeding edge military cybernetics, both known for durability and power.
With deep ties to the Yakuza of the same name, it is difficult to distinguish between its legal-side and criminal activities by tiger-adorned gangsters. Tora Clan members run illegal chop shops in the CORE, often in the backrooms of cybernetic boutiques owned by the legitimate Tora.
The Tora Yakuza worship body modification, installing new augs as a fashion, status symbol, and a way to reign over other gangs. They prefer strength and brutality over finesse. The implants are provided by Tora Zaibatsu for “protection” services, money laundering, and… humbling rivals.
