OutlawTech

OutlawTech was the fanciful name given to a group of criminal slicers who manufactured security intrusion systems and electronic lock breakers. The criminals would be paid to make highly illegal modifications. It existed during the time of the Galactic Civil War.

In common slang, an outlaw tech was a technician who's speciality lay in unorthodox mechanical work that was questionable by factory and safety standards (if not outright illegal). This ranged from performing repairs and modifications on smuggling ships to building and modifying military-grade hardware such as weapons, explosives and communications equipment.
