Black Sun Info

[ChaosLordArawn]

"It is a vast criminal syndicate…its influence felt on every planet from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim. Black Sun has existed for hundreds of years, and embedded itself in the very fiber of the galaxy. The resources at its disposal are almost limitless. The soldiers under its command number in the tens of thousands. The ignorant even call it the most powerful force in the known universe."
―Darth Sidious, and Darth Maul[src]

Black Sun was the most powerful and infamous crime syndicate in the galaxy. It held a massive amount of reach and influence, extending its tendrils of corruption deep in the various galactic governments of each era. It was infamous for its involvement in illegal activities, including piracy and smuggling.

Below the leader of Black Sun were nine Vigos (Old Tionese for "nephew"). Each Vigo ruled over his or her own territory and sector.

History

Late Republic Era



Black Sun existed in some form or another for centuries, possibly originating from remnants of the Exchange. It was known to have existed as early as 3,623 BBY, where it controlled a large district of Coruscant at the time.[1] Although headquartered on Coruscant, its influence stretched the length of the galaxy. Around 33 BBY, Black Sun was headed by Alexi Garyn, who was killed by Darth Maul on his master's orders, as well as the other Vigos, severely damaging the organization.

During the Clone Wars, Black Sun dealt extensively with the plant Bota, which was found on the planet Drongar. Originally, Admiral Tarnese Bleyd was the main contact with Filba the Hutt for the smuggling. He was later assassinated by Kaird, a Nediji, following the death of the former operative Mathal. Another partnership was later established with Thula and Squa Tront to secure the bota. Upon learning that the bota was losing its potency, Kaird escaped from Drongar with a supply as a gift for his Vigos; it was subsequently discovered that the case was filled with explosives, in attempt at betrayal by Thula and Tront.
