The 1st Airborne Infantry was a mercenary group founded by former Imperial Colonel Kanarai Vossa in 14 ABY. They utilized a variety of weapons, but were famous for their use of custom-made Y-8v Jetpacks in battle, thus their unique name.

Origins
The 1st Airborne Infantry Corps began after Colonel Kanarai Vossa recieved a large bribe from a local black market dealer, hoping to get Kanarai to look the other way while he began a business relationship with the Hutts in the system. Kanarai refused and arrested the criminal. He was preparing to turn him in when the local Imperial Inquisitor arrived on the Smuggler's Moon with orders to place Derek under arrest for treason against the Empire. Kanarai was baffled until the Inquisitor revealed he had recieved an anonymous tip from someone on Nar Shaddaa that Kanarai had recieved a bribe of 1,000,000 Imperial credits to look the other way while various criminals set up a black market and smuggling ring under his nose. Kanarai denied ever having accepted the bribe, but the Inquisitor accused him of lying and ordered him to leave peacefully.

Kanarai wasn't about to go quietly, however. After a lengthy battle and a chase through the sewers of Nar Shaddaa, he escaped the Dark Jedi. Vowing never to have anything to do with the Empire, he became a mercenary. It took him a year to earn himself a reputation as a freelance gun for hire, but once he had he began recieved high-paying jobs from various organizations, from the Hutt Cartel to Black Sun and even the mysterious Zann Consortium.

Founding
As the years passed by, however, Kanarai realized that some jobs were just too big for one man. He was growing old, way past his prime and already at the age of forty-five. That was when he decided to found his own group of mercenaries. However, he knew that the Hutts and various others had found him useful over the years, so he decided that the group would have to be useful to his clients as well.
