-> search for TriCor

->Imperial Intelligence Holofile 24796432


Captain Raza reported first meeting the pirate Kole Moge on Corellia near Coronet. Captain Raza received a report of an unauthorized landing just outside the city. During the investigation the ship's captain identified himself as an employee of TriCor. All his clearances checked out and Captain Raza was unable to inquire further due to the level of his security clearance. The crew was off loading weapons crates with imperial seals. Captain Raza recalled his company to their base.

This was the first reported encounter with TriCor that started this investigation into the company's activities. Special Investigator Tarn Denova was assigned this case. SI Denova was placed inside the company as a product manager at the company headquarters at Bestine, Tatooine. SI Denova met regularly with Dr. Varali Voo to discuss inventory and shipping at the regional warehouses. SI Denova reported several times stating he found nothing derogatory. TriCor's operations centered around weapons, armor and pharma. All goods were approved and sold to the Imperial military. During the seventh cycle of his mission SI Denova disappeared and was never located. The garrison commander in Bestine reported that Denova was seen leaving the cantina after drinking heavily with Dr. Voo. He did not report to work the next day and Lime Buzi, a TriCor manager, reported him missing after he was not found at his quarters. Sandtroopers searched the surrounding desert but the search was called off two days later.

General Hass reviewed SI Denova's reports and ordered this case closed. He cited that there was no reason to continue this investigation. He stated that Dr. Voo was not to be the subject of any future investigation.

Case Closed.

Mirra Syndicate offices, Nar Shadaa

"I do not see where this is beneficial to us", Jos Mirra said glaring at the Mon Calamarian seated across from him. "You come in my house and make demands. Who do you think you are?" Mirra threw the datapad against the wall, his anger boiling over into his facial expression.

Lime Buzi sat calmly in the chair. He thought about how hard he tried to make this work. It was just so uncivilized but it became the only logical conclusion.

Holonews alert: Jos Mirra, the reputed crime boss of the Mirra Syndicate was found murdered in his offices. Many feel this may be linked to off world syndicates looking to gain Hutt contracts. TriCor appears to be the sole shareholder and will be continuing shipping services under their corporate banner.
