Silvo's pirates

Silvo's pirates were a multispecies pirate crew adhering to the Pirate's Code. Active during the New Republic Era, they lived off plundering cargo ships from their massive pirate frigate, occasionally docking on the pirate asteroid Borgo Prime. Around 9 ABY, a mutiny briefly deposed Silvo, replacing him with Brutus. During this period, the crew became known as Brutus's pirate crew or Captain Brutus' crew. After reclaiming his leadership by killing the mutineer, Silvo led the pirates in the Invasion of At Attin, an isolated world housing an Old Republic credit mint. The pirates' plan to exploit the planet's credit production failed when a New Republic squadron, alerted by the young Skeleton Crew, arrived to thwart the invasion.

Silvo's crew mutinied against him after a failed raid on a merchant freighter. Escaping from prison, he used the help of the Skeleton Crew—a group of young At Attin residents—to locate Captain Tak Rennod's datalog and access the planet's coordinates. Although captured again, Silvo delayed his death sentence by sharing his findings with his former crew. Seizing an opportunity, he soon regained the pirates' loyalty by killing the mutineer Brutus. As captain once more, Silvo bypassed At Attin's Barrier by stowing away on the Skeleton Crew's ship, the Onyx Cinder. Posing as a Galactic Republic emissary, he infiltrated the planet and disabled its credit minting overseer, "the Supervisor," allowing his crew to invade. While Gunter commanded the pirate frigate, Silvo coordinated the attack from the Supervisor's Tower. However, the Skeleton Crew contacted astronomer Kh'ymm, who summoned a New Republic squadron. Silvo's conquest came to an end as his frigate was shelled and sent adrift into a water canal.
