Car'das

Car'das, sometimes called the Car'das smugglers, was a syndicate of criminals founded by the smuggler Jorj Car'das. The Car'das were involved in various criminal activities but their main business was smuggling and information brokering. More interested in profit, they usually avoided violent criminal activities and had a reputation of civilized and honorable criminals. Thanks to the talented Jorj Car'das, the organization became one of the major smuggling rings in the galaxy during the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire. However, during the Galactic Civil War, Jorj Car'das mysteriously vanished and the organization was taken over by one of his lieutenants, Talon Karrde. Karrde's Organization continued to growth under its new leader, particularly during the New Republic era. Talon Karrde ruled the organization during the Galactic Civil War, the Yuuzhan Vong War and the Second Galactic Civil War. Throughout these troubled times, Talon Karrde successfully preserved Jorj Car'das' tradition of respectable criminals among the members of the syndicate.
