Unidentified local group

A group was local to the Core Worlds planet Hosnian Prime during the High Republic Era. By 235 BBY, the group wanted Hosnian Prime's Republic junior senator—Ghirra Starros—to agitate for stronger trade controls in the Galactic Senate. To ensure she did, the group kidnapped Ghirra's daughter Avon when she snuck out of the family's home. During Avon's time as captive, she was forced to speak into a holorecorder so the group could demand a ransom. Eventually, Avon's uncles rescued her and killed her kidnappers.

In 232 BBY, when she spoke with the Dalnan boy Honesty Weft on the Outer Rim moon Wevo, Avon told him about the group that had abducted her. Two years later, after she had been kidnapped by the Nihil pirates, Avon was left with other abducted children. She then mentally compared the situation of being made to speak into the holorecorder by the local group to being dumped with other children like she had by the Nihil.
