The Mandroxan Syndicate was a short-lived item manufacturing company that specialized in weaponry. Owned and operated by Devaronian entrepreneur Asmo Bodan, the company was among the first weapon dealers to arrive in the Derra system after the outbreak of the Great Animosity Plague.

History

According to spaceport rumors, the tale of the Mandroxan Syndicate begins with a ragtag band of alien gun-runners employed by Voragga the Hutt. These gun-runners sold magnetically-sealed crates of black-market weaponry to any hoodlum or rebel who could scrape together enough credits for purchase. They also sold Ryll, a precious ore harvested from the mines of Ryloth and used as a drug in the form of refined spice.

With the abrupt decline of the Ryll market, sentient beings across the galaxy became paranoid and sought to protect themselves from imaginary threats; hence, the mass sale of legal weapons for self-defense seemed a wise investment for these unorthodox businessmen. How they acquired a legal weapons license is anyone's guess.

Circa Year 13 Day 232, they filed a business application with the InterGalactic Records Office and titled their company as the Mandroxan Syndicate. Searching for a base of operations, they set-up shop in the perilous Morath Nebula. The Syndicate supplied both large governments and paranoid freelancers with ‘ready to fire’ weapons. Gradually, they carved out a niche for themselves in projectile design and production.

Despite their transition to legitimate business, scurrilous rumors persisted about the Syndicate. Competitors in their territory either disappeared or died. Law enforcement groups in the Outer Rim believed that the Mandroxan Syndicate was, for the most part, a criminal organization although no evidence substantiated such accusations. Fortunately, the Syndicate avoided criminal prosecution due to their discrete supply of ryll to government bureaucrats in high places.

After the untimely death of their notorious leader Azalus Outmian, the Syndicate fell into decline and later merged with another organization.
