The Black Rose Syndicate

Profile: It’s not unusual for a splinter gang to form outside of the Black Sun umbrella. However, they tend to be quickly subsumed by a Black Sun Enforcer or Lieutenant. In very rare cases, they attract the favor of the local Vigo, who appoints them status under his aegis. Those who resist are dispatched in swift and brutal fashion, to serve as an example to others who may dare to do likewise.
The Syndicate is the exception to that rule. Shadowed in secrecy, they have been taking shots at Black Sun operations over the years (especially anything involving slavery), and have been slowly cutting in on their smuggling operations. In spite of their reputation, they do not operate openly, instead relying on anonymity and constant movement throughout the system. They seem to use Nar Shaddaa as a general hub of operations, but are hard to tie down. They also appear to be gaining traction as smugglers in their own right, especially of historical antiquities that the Empire has cracked down on.
