Ni'lyahin Smugglers

The Ni'lyahin Smugglers were a group of of thieves and assassins that was active at the time of the Galactic Civil War.

When the Rebel Alliance destroyed the Galactic Empire's Death Star in the Battle of Yavin, the explosion littered the local area of space with large and small chunks of debris. When the news of the giant battlestation's destruction broke, many rushed to the Yavin system to get their share of valueable Imperial technology. The Ni'lyahin Smugglers were one of those groups, hoping to scrounge together intact pieces of the station to sell them on the black market.

It did not take long before the Empire established a cordon to prevent further theft. The Ni'lyahin Smugglers nonetheless stayed in the remote star system and prospered, fighting their own war against the Empire and their oppression. They gained control of various areas of space in the system, including the Ferrous Aurora Nebula and the surrounding Ferrous Aurora quadrant, which they have claimed as their own, the Smuggler's Run quadrant, the Nebulon 7 area, and the neighborhood of the destroyed space station Nova 3.

In space battles, the Ni'lyahin Smugglers flew Z-95-AF4 Headhunters and BTL-S3 Y-wing starfighters.
