Massacre of a Tusken Raider tribe

Canon Linked from 15 articles

A massacre of a Tusken Raider tribe was carried out in 5 ABY by the Pyke Syndicate. Pykes used CC-420 pistols to slaughter the tribe.

When Boba Fett returned to their camp after speaking with a Pyke boss in Mos Eisley, he discovered that several members of the tribe were killed, and the symbol of the Nikto Kintan Striders gang was painted on a tent in their camp. Later, Fett rescued Fennec Shand, and when he told her about the massacre, Shand replied that it was highly unlikely that the Nikto speeder bikers were able to massacre the Tusken tribe by themselves. After Fett and Shand recovered the Slave I, they attacked the Kintan Striders to avenge the death of the Tuskens. Later, The Pyke boss revealed to Cad Bane that the Pykes had killed the Tuskens and blamed it on the speeder bike gang. Shortly after, Bane revealed it to Fett.
