Minerax Consulting

Minerax Consulting was a mining consulting company that operated during the Age of the Empire. The Imperial industrialist Count Denetrius Vidian bought a secret stake in Minerax Consulting and used it to churn out reports which wiped out surface mining on Gorse and several worlds. These mining operations had been run by companies which had failed his inspection when Vidian was still known as Lemuel Tharsa, a lowly mining inspector. Vidian's actions bankrupted the Interstellar Thorilide Guild and benefitted the interests of the comet-chaser industry, which he mostly controlled.

About eleven years later, Vidian perpetuated the ruse that Lemuel Tharsa was a separate person. Using Tharsa's name, reputation, and position as Minerax's chief researcher, Vidian authored a fake report claiming that detonating Gorse's moon Cynda would not damage its thorilide crystals. This was part of a complex plot to frame his rival Baron Lero Danthe, the scion of a droid manufacturing firm. Lemuel's plot to destroy Cynda was foiled by the combined efforts of the rebels Hera Syndulla, Kanan Jarrus, Skelly, Zaluna Myder, the Imperial Captain Rae Sloane, and Baron Danthe.
