In the inky twilight where smugglers and thieves ruled [[the galaxy]], one pirate clan was feared by all and respected by even [[Galactic Empire|the Empire itself]]. These criminals &mdash; known as the [[Moon Bandits]] &mdash; were the jackals of the shipping lanes circa [[Year 0]], preying upon everything.

In the inky twilight where smugglers and thieves ruled the galaxies, one pirate clan was feared by all and respected by even the Empire itself. These criminals &mdash; known as the [[Moon Bandits]] &mdash; were the rulers of the shipping lanes circa [[Year 0]], preying upon everything. Led by [[Friar Blues]], a man with a legendary lust for Lum and fearless charm, the Moon Bandits plundered all that attracted their attention.

 +
Only one other band of pirates dared to challenge these rogues. The [[Raptor Pirates]] thought to make a name for themselves by muscling in on the Moon Bandits' territory. Through backroom intrigues on Friar's part, the Bandits quickly sought alliances with other criminal organizations, including smugglers and mercenaries. The upstart Raptors were soon squelched and yielded to the Bandits' supremacy.<ref name="Juganoth History"/>
 +
 
 +
Times changed with the ascension of the [[Bounty Hunter Alliance]]. Their hunters ravaged smaller crime organizations like a wildfire. The Moon Bandits adapted and became the [[Screaming Banshees]], a Bounty Hunter squadron even fiercer than the scum they preyed on. It was then that the Banshees and the ultra powerful organization know as the [[Black Sun|Black Sun crime syndicate]] fell at odds. The exact cause of their feud is unknown, but it raged on with both sides bitterly hating each other. Nowhere was this more evident than between Cap'n Blues and Princess [[Gabriella Storm]], the ruler of the Black Sun. Due to an unfortunate accident, Friar Blues had to retire from service. Though it had been rumored his Lum addiction had finally consumed him, there were whispers that he was plotting a new bold venture.<ref name="Juganoth History"/>

These rumors proved true when [[Talord|Tal'ord the Wookiee]], a longtime comrade since the Bandit days, joined the grizzled captain at [[Centrepoint Space Station]]. Blues was in charge of station security, and Tal'ord served as his second-in-command. Unfortunately, the Wookiee's reputation across several star-systems as a trigger-happy gunman and Blues' own hair-trigger temper proved to be ill-suited for Centrepoint's respectable image. The duo became fed up with adhering to Centrepoint's code of conduct and strict rules of neutrality. They broke off to seek fortune and glory elsewhere. Always faithful, the rest of Friar's  security crew followed them. Together, they established the Juganoth Mining Corporation. The company's title was jokingly named after the infamous Juganoth Prison where Friar and his shipmates had been briefly incarcerated.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20010805063633fw_/http://www.clubnowhere.f2s.com:80/Part1.html Juganoth History - The Mission] (Year 2)</ref> Consequently, during the company's formative years, the original employees referred to themselves as 'Noths.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20010805063633fw_/http://www.clubnowhere.f2s.com:80/Part2.html Juganoth History - The Groundfall] (Year 2)]</ref>
  
One other band of pirates dared to challenge these rogues. The [[Raptor Pirates]] thought to make a name for themselves by muscling in on the Moon Bandits territory. Through masterful diplomacy on Friar's part, the Bandits made alliances with other criminal organizations, including smugglers and mercenaries. The Raptors were soon squelched, giving way once more to the Moon Bandits supremacy. Alas, times changed with the ascension of the [[Bounty Hunter Alliance]]. They ravaged small crime organizations like wild fire. The Moon Bandits adapted and became the [[Screaming Banshees]], a Bounty Hunter squadron even fiercer than the scum they preyed on. It was then that the Banshees and the ultra powerful crime organization know as the [[Black Sun]] fell at odds. The exact cause of the feud is unknown, but it raged on with both sides bitterly hating each other. Nowhere was this more evident than between the Friar and the leader of the Black Sun, Princess [[Gabriella Storm]]. Due to an unfortunate accident, Friar Blues had to retire from service. Though it had been rumored his Lum affection had finally caught up with him, there were whispers that he was plotting a new scheme.

Friar, Tal'ord, and their motley crew built the Juganoth Mining Corporation on a solid foundation in uncertain economic times. In a stroke of good fortune for Juganoth, Captain Blues encountered a young [[Hapan]] adventurer named [[Alex Tylger]] who was eager to obtain return passage back to the [[Hapes Cluster]]. Blues consented to transport Tylger to Lorell in exchange for four months of service aboard his flagship, ''The Rumblejug'',<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20010509055628/http://boards.station.sony.com:80/ubb/starwars/Forum4/HTML/002072.html Lum Cantina: In a Land of Spies and Thieves] (Year 2)</ref> a modified [[YV-666]] freighter.<ref name="Alex Tylger"/> The stranded Hapan reluctantly accepted the offer.<ref name="Alex Tylger"/> Tylger worked onboard Blues' vessel for a little over three months before being transported to the [[Lorell system]] where Tylger had to do a lot of sweet-talking to get past the Hapan patrols.<ref name="Alex Tylger">[http://library.hapes.org/index.php?title=Alex_Tylger Royal Hapan Library - Alex Tylger]</ref>
  
This was confirmed when a long time comrade and of his (who was also renowned throughout several systems to be a trigger-happy wookiee), Tal'ord, joined him at [[Centrepoint Space Station]] as second-in-command of station security. Soon Friar became fed up with adhering to Centrepoint's neutrality rules and broke off once again. Tal'ord, who had been with his friend since the Bandit days, and the rest of Friar's always-loyal crew followed him, establishing a powerful mining company who would become known by respected name: The Juganoth Mining Corporation.

Once on Lorell's surface, Blues was given a tour of the planet's rich mineral deposits by Tylger. A clandestine meeting was arranged with [[Andrew Starfyre|King Andrew I's]] diplomatic staff. In an effort to build cordial relations, Blues also donated several starships from his private armada to the Royal Hapan Navy.<ref name="Phoenix Age">[http://library.hapes.org/index.php?title=Phoenix_Age Royal Hapan Library - Phoenix Age]</ref> In repayment, the insular Hapan kingdom argeed to its first foreign business relationship by hiring Juganoth to mine [[Lorell (Planet)|Lorell]].

===Early years===

As Juganoth's prosperity increased, Friar and Tal'ord became restless. Before striking out for the [[Unknown Regions]], they entrusted Juganoth's future to the hairy paws of K'loran, [[Wookiee|a Wookiee tinkerer]].<ref name="Juganoth History"/> Cap'n Blues instructed K'loran to remold the company as he saw fit, but K'loran promised to lead Juganoth in the same leadership style as Blues and Tal'ord before him. To run the company, however, K'loran needed considerable assistance and thus he appointed many trusted friends to serve in key positions: his vice president was Max Caar; director of relations Chanboy; the [[Bothan]] director of finance Kurner Dah'tar,<ref name="Kurner Dahtar">[http://web.archive.org/web/20030413211301/http://www.swcombine.com:80/rules/races/index.php?name=Bothan Famous Bothans - Kurner Dah'tar] (Year 4)</ref> and a [[Corellian]] director of transportation, [[Garth Tanner]].<ref name="Garth Tanner">[http://web.archive.org/web/20030208033409/http://www.swcombine.com/rules/races/index.php?name=Corellian Famous Corellians - Garth Tanner] (Year 4)</ref>
[[Image:Owyn Darklighter Avatar.gif|right|thumb|128px|Owyn Darklighter is a notable member of Juganoth Mining.]]
 
Friar and his crew built the Juganoth Mining Corporation on a solid foundation gaining power in the economy. Things went well in Juganoth; it was a time of prosperity. Soon, Friar began to tire of his life in Juganoth and left for the [[Unknown Regions]]. He took most of his crew with him and left Juganoth in the hands of a [[wookiee]] by the name of K'loran to build and to mold as he once did. For years, K'loran led Juganoth in the same leadership style as Friar before him. To run the company, however, K'loran needed assistance. He called on his trusted friends. With the help of his vice president, Max Caar; Director of relations Chanboy; Director of finance Kurner Dah'tar; and director of transportation, [[Garth Tanner]].  
 
  
Things went smoothly until one day when Chanboy vanished mysteriously. After waiting in vain for Chan's return, K'loran finally gave Chan's position to Kurner Dah'tar, already Director of Finance. Max Caar then departed to enlist in the [[Hapes Consortium]] and yielded his position to Kurner. This left open the director spots for Finance and Relations. After attempts to fill these positions failed, Ace Menshu stepped into the scene. After gaining valuable experience from his working at Juganoth, he started his own rival corporation [[A7 Mining]]. The position was then rechristened Director of Operations and was taken over by Yukawa.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20021210035028/http://juganoth.monolith3d.com/history.php Juganoth Mining Corporation - History]</ref>

Years later, the [[Sorosuub Corporation]] purchased Juganoth circa [[Year 5]]. Under the leadership of Count [[Irving Howie]], the storied company relocated its headquarters to [[Sullust]] in an effort to better supply the ever-expanding shipwright market. Owyn Darklighter succeeded Howie as president on [[Year 5|Year 5 Day 81]], and Howie was kicked upstairs to lead Sorosuub itself.

Later, on [[Year 8|Year 8 Day 98]], the Rebel Alliance controversially annexed Sorosuub and rebranded themselves as the [[New Republic]]. Consequently, Juganoth was expanded to provide services to the lower half of the galaxy, while still keeping its headquarters at Sullust.

The JUGANOTH Mining Corporation (JMC) is a mining company presently owned by the New Republic and one of the oldest organizations in the galaxy.[1] Juganoth's activities involve all facets of mining, including exploration, development, production and reclamation. Many years ago, the mining corporation was formed by Captain Friar Blues, a former bounty hunter and shady businessman who had gone into the raw materials racket with his Wookiee companion Tal'ord. Both were former personnel of Owan D'arc's Centrepoint Space Station.

Originally situated on the planet Alk`lellish I in the Alk`lellish system of the Sumitra sector, JMC was relocated to the Jospro sector for a short time, after coming under new corporate ownership. Vast mining operations are currently expanding in the Sluis Sector with the help of the New Republic, of which JMC is a subsidiary. We provide the raw materials that are necessary to produce all manner of technology, from starships to datapads, including such raw materials as Quantum, Meleenium, Ardanium, Rudic, Tibanna Gas, Rock Ivory, Lommite, Durelium and Duracrete.

Currently, positions are available primarily for those with strong computer operation skills or piloting abilities; however, other positions may also be available, either in JMC or in the New Republic as a whole. Raw material contracts are available to corporations and freelancers alike; contact Owyn Darklighter for more information or visit our holosite. Note that some resources may be unavailable at this time.[2]

History

Bandit Origins

Main article: Moon Bandits

In the inky twilight where smugglers and thieves ruled the galaxy, one pirate clan was feared by all and respected by even the Empire itself. These criminals — known as the Moon Bandits — were the jackals of the shipping lanes circa Year 0, preying upon everything. Led by Captain Friar Blues, a man with an insatiable thirst for Lum and a certain rough-edged charm, the Bandits plundered all that attracted their attention.[3]

Only one other band of pirates dared to challenge these rogues. The Raptor Pirates thought to make a name for themselves by muscling in on the Moon Bandits' territory. Through backroom intrigues on Friar's part, the Bandits quickly sought alliances with other criminal organizations, including smugglers and mercenaries. The upstart Raptors were soon squelched and yielded to the Bandits' supremacy.[3]

Times changed with the ascension of the Bounty Hunter Alliance. Their hunters ravaged smaller crime organizations like a wildfire. The Moon Bandits adapted and became the Screaming Banshees, a Bounty Hunter squadron even fiercer than the scum they preyed on. It was then that the Banshees and the ultra powerful organization know as the Black Sun crime syndicate fell at odds. The exact cause of their feud is unknown, but it raged on with both sides bitterly hating each other. Nowhere was this more evident than between Cap'n Blues and Princess Gabriella Storm, the ruler of the Black Sun. Due to an unfortunate accident, Friar Blues had to retire from service. Though it had been rumored his Lum addiction had finally consumed him, there were whispers that he was plotting a new bold venture.[3]

These rumors proved true when Tal'ord the Wookiee, a longtime comrade since the Bandit days, joined the grizzled captain at Centrepoint Space Station. Blues was in charge of station security, and Tal'ord served as his second-in-command. Unfortunately, the Wookiee's reputation across several star-systems as a trigger-happy gunman and Blues' own hair-trigger temper proved to be ill-suited for Centrepoint's respectable image. The duo became fed up with adhering to Centrepoint's code of conduct and strict rules of neutrality. They broke off to seek fortune and glory elsewhere. Always faithful, the rest of Friar's security crew followed them. Together, they established the Juganoth Mining Corporation. The company's title was jokingly named after the infamous Juganoth Prison where Friar and his shipmates had been briefly incarcerated.[4] Consequently, during the company's formative years, the original employees referred to themselves as 'Noths.[5]

Early Successes

Kloran Avatar.jpg
K'loran was president of Juganoth in Year 3.

Friar, Tal'ord, and their motley crew built the Juganoth Mining Corporation on a solid foundation in uncertain economic times. In a stroke of good fortune for Juganoth, Captain Blues encountered a young Hapan adventurer named Alex Tylger who was eager to obtain return passage back to the Hapes Cluster. Blues consented to transport Tylger to Lorell in exchange for four months of service aboard his flagship, The Rumblejug,[6] a modified YV-666 freighter.[7] The stranded Hapan reluctantly accepted the offer.[7] Tylger worked onboard Blues' vessel for a little over three months before being transported to the Lorell system where Tylger had to do a lot of sweet-talking to get past the Hapan patrols.[7]

Once on Lorell's surface, Blues was given a tour of the planet's rich mineral deposits by Tylger. A clandestine meeting was arranged with King Andrew I's diplomatic staff. In an effort to build cordial relations, Blues also donated several starships from his private armada to the Royal Hapan Navy.[8] In repayment, the insular Hapan kingdom argeed to its first foreign business relationship by hiring Juganoth to mine Lorell. Many of Blues' employees — particularly those in the company's security contingent — found lucrative side-jobs within the Royal Hapan Armed Forces.[7] This business arrangement between Juganoth and the hermetic kingdom enabled the Hapan mining guilds to speedily recover from the Hapan civil war.[8]

As Juganoth's prosperity increased, Friar and Tal'ord became restless. Before striking out for the Unknown Regions, they entrusted Juganoth's future to the hairy paws of K'loran, a Wookiee tinkerer.[3] Cap'n Blues instructed K'loran to remold the company as he saw fit, but K'loran promised to lead Juganoth in the same leadership style as Blues and Tal'ord before him. To run the company, however, K'loran needed considerable assistance and thus he appointed many trusted friends to serve in key positions: his vice president was Max Caar; director of relations Chanboy; the Bothan director of finance Kurner Dah'tar,[9] and a Corellian director of transportation, Garth Tanner.[10]

Things progressed smoothly until one day when Chanboy mysteriously vanished. After a respectful interval awaiting Chan's return, K'loran finally gave Chan's position to Kurner Dah'tar, already Director of Finance. On Year 2 Day 224, Max Caar departed to enlist in the Hapes Consortium and yielded the Vice Presidency to Kurner.[11] This turnover open the director spots for Finance and Relations. After attempts to fill these positions failed, Ace Menshu stepped into the scene. After gaining valuable experience at Juganoth, Menshu joined Falleen entrepreneur Zorran Black to start A7 Mining, a rival corporation. The vacated position was renamed as Director of Operations and was taken over by Yukawa.[3] Ultimately, on Year 3 Day 163, Kurner Dah'tar succeeded the Wookiee businessman K'loran as President of the Juganoth Mining Corporation with Tanner stepping up as Vice President.[12]

Modern era

Owyn Darklighter is a notable leader of Juganoth Mining.

Originally, Juganoth had been situated on the planet Alk'lellish I in the Alk'lellish system of the Sumitra sector. This large temperate planet had wild jungles, forests, swamps and mineral deposits, ideally suited for mining operations. Juganoth came under new corporate ownership years later, and was moved to the Abrath system in the Jospro Sector. There the corporation was rebuilt from the ground up and once again began mining for the materials essential to building everything from buildings to starships.

Years later, the Sorosuub Corporation purchased Juganoth circa Year 5. Under the leadership of Count Irving Howie, the storied company relocated its headquarters to Sullust in an effort to better supply the ever-expanding shipwright market. Owyn Darklighter succeeded Howie as president on Year 5 Day 81, and Howie was kicked upstairs to lead Sorosuub itself.

Later, on Year 8 Day 98, the Rebel Alliance controversially annexed Sorosuub and rebranded themselves as the New Republic. Consequently, Juganoth was expanded to provide services to the lower half of the galaxy, while still keeping its headquarters at Sullust. Juganoth is dedicated to providing raw materials at fair prices to the galaxy as a whole, and fueling the production lines of many prosperous corporations.[13]
