Legend

based in an underground cavern on the Videnda Sector world of Dorvalla, this gang of cutthroat mercenaries was active in the Outer Rim during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Toom gang started out with legitmate goals, primarily as deep-space rescue and salvage operators. Over time, they shed their humanitarian guises and focused on making money any way possible. Their services were available to any being who could pay them, and they lacked any form of scruples which might have hindered their ability to take on even the most despicable work. Their motto was simple: "Pay us enough and we'll make worlds collide." The Tooms, led by the Weequay Nort Toom, used an early version of the Interdictor-class cruiser to drag spaceships from hyperspace. The Tooms established a staging base on the planet Riome, in order to help throw off any pursuit. The Tooms were hired by Patch Bruit and the Lommite Limited mining corporation to destroy the operations of InterGalactic Ores on Dorvalla, but Darth Maul used a subtle misdirection to lead the Tooms into bringing down both corporations at the same time. In this way, Dorvalla was opened up to the Trade Federation. Despite the plan's success to Darth Sidious, the Toom Clan was destroyed on Riome when the combined forces of Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ores struck back in revenge for being double-crossed.
