The Twenty-Seven Enterprises are a collection of covert agencies operated by the government of Hergom as semi-autonomous organizations with devolved powers and private hierarchies. Their primary function is to manage foreign criminal enterprises for the benefit of Hergom, generating profit, creating secret foreign cash reserves, and facilitating the expansion of state influence and the operations of the H1ensderkos.
Despite their clandestine nature, these enterprises maintain fully commercial operations within Hergom and boast opulent headquarters in the financial district of Nekwehon. The enterprises are organized under the umbrella of administrative guilds, facilitating efficient management and coordination across different criminal activities and geographical areas. This structure ensures the sharing of support and resources among various agencies, optimizing their operational capabilities.
The scope of activities conducted by the Twenty-Seven Enterprises is vast and includes extortion, narcotic production and distribution, loan sharking, prostitution, arms smuggling, kidnapping, local mafias, gang activities, and informal slavery. These enterprises play a dual role by contributing to the state's coffers through illicit means while also serving as an extension of Hergom’s strategic and intelligence operations abroad.

The use of human trafficking ensures a constant supply of labor and individuals for prostitution, contributing to the enterprises' bottom line while perpetuating immense human suffering.

Kidnapping is used both as a means of coercion and as a source of ransom income, while local mafia and gang activities ensure control over key urban areas, facilitating other illicit operations and providing a network of loyal operatives.
The Twenty-Seven Enterprises, through their criminal activities, create a shadow economy that operates parallel to the legitimate state apparatus of Hergom. This shadow economy is crucial for funding covert operations and ensuring the financial independence of the H1ensderkos. The integration of these enterprises within the state's broader strategic framework highlights the extent to which Hergom leverages illicit activities to maintain its power and influence both domestically and internationally.
The presence of opulent headquarters in Nekwehon's financial district underscores the blurred lines between legitimate commerce and covert operations in Hergom. These headquarters serve not only as administrative centres but also as symbols of the power and reach of the Twenty-Seven Enterprises.
