Pyke syndicate

The Pyke Syndicate, also known as the Syndicate, Pyke Family, or simply as the Pykes, were spice traffickers within the Spice Cartel that operated in the criminal underground from their homeworld of Oba Diah. They also participated in the crime raids on Mandalore to start the Death Watch rule on said planet. The Pyke Syndicate owned a large complement of Pyke patrol ships[2] and freighters to transport their enforcers and goods around the galaxy. Their troops, known as Pyke guards, were typically equipped with CC-420 pistols[1] or larger rifles.[5] However, Pyke sentinels typically possessed larger and more specialized weapons. Some sentinels were seen attempting to use a blaster turret during the riot on Kessel. Some Pyke sentinels on Kessel used stun spears to enforce the discipline of their slaves.
