Jaris Affric

As the war in the Sarin sector escalated, Affric deployed the Mantis Syndicate in both regular combat and special operations, where they opposed both the Alliance and Churhee's Riflemen. However, as the war turned against the Empire, Affric began to run up a debt to the Mantis Syndicate, which was not tolerated by their leader, Lady Marina Mantis, who recalled her hunters. Affric protested loudly, then immediately defected to the newly established New Republic. Although he lost power and influence, Affric remained free.
