Gorpa Mining Group

General Lore

Gorpa Mining is a company that is used as a front for the large militarized cartel which thrives across the Vantor system. Being officially formed in 3 ABY by the various members of the cartels that wished to have access to the planet of Vantoria, which they use as an access point to smuggle goods and illegal products in and out of the star-system. Because of the nature of the group, as well as the pull and influence it gains from the smuggling operations and other criminal activities they have seen a lot of transactions over the last few years. Both in part to the Galactic Civil War and unrest amongst the citizens of Vantoria. The group is currently operating out of a mining facility, which they use as a base of operations. The Cartel would find itself coming across a great amount of muscle, smugglers, and employees as they began to grow as a group, and would thus begin to become more and more organized.

Over the few years the Gorpa Mining Company spent on the planet, they would grow to have a disdain towards the Imperial troops that still garrisoned and policed the planet. The Imperial Troops had almost always been a thorn in the side of the Cartel, and after they had lost the war against the New Republic they would begin to be more brutal. This would not stop the Cartel from smuggling goods and partaking in criminal activities, but would hinder it nonetheless.

Because of this relationship that the Cartel had with the Imperials stationed on the planet, they would grow to have a slight bias towards the Revolutionary Movement which also occupied the planet. The Cartel would have a few dealings with the group here and there, which only strengthened their working relationship.
