Turks

===The Genesis War===
During the time [[AVALANCHE Insurgency|Shinra is at war with AVALANCHE]] some Turks are also ordered to aid in [[Genesis War|the battle against the defector SOLDIER]] member [[Genesis Rhapsodos]]. [[Tseng]], a high-ranking Turk, aids [[SOLDIER]] member [[Zack Fair]] in a mission to Genesis's hometown of [[Banora]] to investigate the disappearance of two unnamed Shinra operatives. They are found dead and buried. Tseng later accompanies Zack on a mission to [[Modeoheim]] to try and find Genesis's headquarters and where he is making [[copy technology#Genesis Copies|his copies]]. The Turks are also keeping an eye on [[Aerith Gainsborough]], the last known [[Cetra]], who lives in the [[Sector 5]] slums of [[Midgar]].

The Turks are deployed to deal with the attack on Midgar [[Sector 8]] during which Zack saves the Turk member [[Cissnei]] from Genesis Copies, and the two become friends. Cissnei allows Zack to flee following his escape from the [[Shinra Manor]] where he was kept captive for four years by Shinra's Science Department, and further aids his attempt to return to Midgar. The Turks [[Zack's Final Stand|fail to save him from the Shinra army]], though they do try to organize a rescue by helicopter.
