Zann Consortium/Legends

"I am Tyber Zann... Corruption is my weapon... And while the Galaxy is distracted by civil war, I will strike."

- Tyber Zann

The Zann Consortium, sometimes known as The Corrupt Side, was an underworld movement led by Tyber Zann to sabotage and interfere with Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire affairs during the Galactic Civil War.

Formation and dissolution
The Zann Consortium was formed sometime between 19 BBY and 1 BBY. Led by crimelord Tyber Zann, the movement spread "corruption" throughout the Galaxy. Zann worked closely with fellow affiliate Jabba the Hutt, but started gaining power. Zann then stole a Sith Artifact from Jabba, but was arrested by Imperial forces on Felucia. Urai Fen, escaped with the artifact.

Concerned for the survival of the Consortium, Fen contacted unknown allies on Kamino. They were willing to harbor the remnants of the Consortium, so Fen attacked the imperial forces on Kamino and then laid low, until Zann was ready to make his move.

Battle of Kessel and reformation
Zann continued to rot in the prisons of Kessel until he managed to contact Han Solo and Chewbacca and hire them to assist him in starting an uprising.

He and a number of prisoners broke free of their prisons and faced Imperial Stormtroopers and Darktroopers in combat. Urai Fen also was there to help Zann break free. They succeeded in escaping, and the Consortium once again rose in power, with Zann back in control.

Lust for power
The Zann Consortium's main goal was to capture a prototype Eclipse-class Star Dreadnought that would give them the power to destroy entire capital ships with its devastating superlaser.

They were also intent on discovering the mysteries of an ancient Sith artifact.

Missions they undertook included piracy over Mandalore, and a mission to incriminate Prince Xizor on Bespin.

Tactics
The Zann Consortium used its extensive crime network to influence the warring factions, siphon their credits, and sabotage their operations when necessary.

With access to the black market, Zann had several unique technologies at his disposal, including shield generators and stealth generators that allowed movement undetected to enemy planets.

The Zann Consortium also hired Bounty Hunters such as Bossk and IG-88 to eliminate certain targets.
