Senate Investigating Commission on Crime Syndication, Dissemination, and Proliferation in the Core and Mid-Rim Systems
this committee was formed within the Galactic Senate, several decades before the Battle of Geonosis, to investigate the ways in which criminal organizations were formed, grew, and expanded throughout the Core Worlds and the Mid Rim. Many Senators from other regions of the galaxy demanded that the committee expand its scope, since much of the galaxy's crime was moving away from the Core to avoid the notice of the Republic and the Jedi Order.
