The mercenary group known as the Fireclaw Horde, led by Mebara Jos, conducted their operations from the Cularin system during the final ten years of the Galactic Republic. They established their headquarters in the deserted city of Nub Saar, which orbited the planet Genarius. Their initial appearance in the HoloNet News occurred when they attempted to waylay the opulent passenger ship, Queen of Cularin.
While based in Nub Saar, the group also commenced development on a modified version of the MMR-9 recovery droid. The intention was for this droid to spearhead their attack; functioning in the vacuum of space to cripple the Queen of Cularin, thereby enabling boarding operations. As the droid project neared completion, the Fireclaw Horde dispatched a Togorian band to Tindark with the mission of acquiring the security protocols needed to secure several MMR-9 prototypes. Nevertheless, their strategy was partially thwarted when the droid's inventor, Imik Suum, successfully fled after observing the Togorians' slaughter of numerous technicians and base personnel. A team of independent operatives pursued the Togorians to their secret location on Nub Saar, where they uncovered the gang's scheme to hijack the liner. By intercepting the Queen, the freelancers successfully repelled the Horde, ensuring the safety of the luxury vessel.
The subsequent investigation into the Fireclaw Horde and their actions revealed their involvement in other attempted illegal acts, including a foiled attempt to pilfer the treasures of Gomalo.
