Legend

a major smuggling chief during the early years of the New Republic, Mazzic and his outfit were often described as militant. He ensured that his people were equipped for many combat operations, from hand-held weapons to large assault starships. Mazzic was a tall, muscular Corellian who was deeply suspicious of the Empire, and he took every opportunity to take credits for their work. He had formerly worked as a legitimate shipper for the Corporate Sector Authority, before he discovered the benefits of illegal cargoes and went into smuggling. Five years after the Battle of Endor, Mazzic helped Ellor destroy an unfinished Star Destroyer at the Bilbringi shipyards, just prior to Grand Admiral Thrawn's attack on Coruscant. Shortly afterward, Mazzic was captured by the Imperials and brought aboard the Chimaera for questioning. Much to his surprise, Thrawn merely stated that he understood the destruction of the Star Destroyer was simply a retaliation for the attack on the smugglers at the Whistler's Whirlpool on Trogan, and offered to allow Mazzic to leave. Of course, Mazzic had to live with the realization that Thrawn had captured him rather swiftly after the event, and then let him go. Thrawn then used Niles Ferrier to plant a rigged datadisk aboard the Wild Karrde, with false information that named Karrde himself as the individual who called for the Imperial raid on Trogan. Ferrier then hinted to Mazzic that Karrde was hiding something, setting up a grand scheme to discredit Karrde in front of the other smugglers. However, Ferrier misspoke about the datacard's contents, incriminating himself and unburdening Karrde of any doubt.
