Warning: The following parameters in the infobox are unrecognized: members
The Boys of Corus were a mercenary band from the Corus system. Their best known member was the Lepi Jaxxon who learned his combat skills by going on missions with the group. However, on a mission to the Corporate Sector, they were double-crossed by their employers, and the band was scattered. The disastrous mission put an end to the Boys of Corus, and they disbanded, going their separate ways. After leaving the group, Jaxxon decided to pursue a career as a smuggler, eventually buying the Rabbit's Foot.
Behind the scenes
The "boys of Corus" is an obvious reference to Bugs Bunny, the cartoon character that Jaxxon was based upon. The name is an allusion to the "Boys of the Chorus", a memorable line which Bugs Bunny says several time in the Looney Tunes short, "What's Up Doc?". In telling his life story, Bugs refers to several of his stage shows, coming on stage to sing the exact same lines, "Oh, we're the boys of the chorus / We hope you like our show / We know you're rooting for us / But now we have to go!"
