The Zankor Syndicate was a Mazarite led criminal syndicate. In 2164 the syndicate was led by Eldi Zankor. Prior to 2164 the Zankor Syndicate lost much in the way of personnel and assets when the Mazarite government cracked down on organized crime. With the formation of the United Federation of Planets, Eldi Zankor allied her organization with the Orion Syndicate as the introduction of Federation law and order would further hamper the Zankor Syndicate.
