History
Zackery Elliot Affair
On Year 14 308, galactic businessman Anomis Wox of Wox Logistics issued a public complaint regarding the services of Zackery Elliot, a male Corellian purportedly affiliated with Corsair. Wox reported that "[Elliot] just abandoned ship on me in the middle of a job with no notice. He seemed to be doing well and I liked him, but gave absolutely no warning for this. Hiring discretion is advised."[1] Grom De Ghrul, a Gamorrean trader and neutral observer, demanded proof of Wox's claim.[1] Acting upon De Ghrul's demand, a Kaleeshi businessman known as Salabastian Ord confirmed the incident: "I can verify that [Elliot] joined my organization this afternoon, and that he needed pickup from a ship owned by Wox's company." In addition, Ord provided a copy of Elliot's application and its acceptance:
De Ghrul requested that Corsair not kill Elliot as he seemed to be an inexperienced recruit who was unfamiliar with the accepted business practices of the galaxy. De Ghrul also warned Elliot to depart Corsair as they might kill him. In response, Minerva Umgee, the owner of the Corsair, issued a terse public statement: "Zackery is in Corsair. Mr. Wox, I appreciate the warning, [but] the situation is handled. Corsair won't be killing the poor guy. I love killing more than anyone else, but I do not feel he deserves death. As such, Grom you can go play in your precious mud and stop harassing my members. [...] The only person in the entire organization that actually kills is me, and I haven't really hunted anyone."[2]
It has been speculated that this verbal altercation is what ultimately led to Grom De Ghrul's later demise but that cannot be certain.
Ord Embezzlement
In the late hours of Year 14 Day 331, Salabastian Ord was appointed leader of the Corsair mercenary outfit by its corporate owner Minerva Umgee. In a surprising act, the newly-empowered Ord chose to immediately embezzle the organization's coffers.[3] Ostensibly, Salabastian Ord and Minerva Umgee had several outstanding disagreements in the past and, although Umgee had assumed these issues were settled due to Ord's feigned amenity, he still carried a grudge. According to Umgee, Ord misappropriated approximately 1.8 billion credits in assets which on the open market is easily worth three-to-five times that.[3]
Umgee apparently demoted Mr. Ord from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position of Corsair after the embezzlement occurred and appointed relative newcomer Zackery Elliot as his replacement. It is unknown whether Elliot can actually save the organization or if Umgee had other assets to save it with. Umgee mentioned having lost two personnel over this looting; thus, it is possible that Fures Nocti and Dar Batra may be dead as a result. However it remains unclear if she was referring to them.
