The Freelance Mercenary Corps were a new group of mercenaries at the time of the three-year galactic Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems. Emerging specifically to serve the Confederacy,[2] the Freelance Corps was hired by Magistrate Passel Argente of the Corporate Alliance to fight for the Confederacy as part of the Corporate Alliance Policy Administration Directorate.[1]
