Tech Raiders
this smuggling group was active some twelve years prior to the Battle of Naboo, when they moved their base of operations from Coruscant to the planet Vandor-3. They were known to be black marketeers of starships and weapons. It was believed that Senator Uta S'orn had been trying to form a coalition of planets in order to force the Tech Raiders out of business, shortly before her retirement. However, news of her retirement forced her to drop her work on forming the coalition.
