Black Heth
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Black Heth were a common street gang that the Jin'ha used as a front in 32 BBY. According to Mace Windu the Black Heth were known as petty criminals. However, the gang was known to terrorize innocent civilians around Elcor Station.
While still training under Qui-Gon Jinn, Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi was dispatched as part of his ongoing training to gather information regarding the increase of gang activity in Coruscant's underlevels. He tracked a Trandoshan leader of Black Heth to a hovertrain in Elcor Station where he defeated the gangster.
Afterwards, Kenobi was sent to rescue an undercover informant inside the criminal organization. Obi-Wan worked his way down from atop an unfinished building until he reached the level where the informant was being kept. Though he was swarmed by thugs of varying species (Gran, Trandoshan, Aqualish and even Kubaz) he was ultimately victorious. Afterwards the informant revealed that the Black Heth were in league with another group known as the Jin'ha, who were encouraging the gangs of Coruscant to violence, hoping that it would prove a distraction to the Jedi Order.
When Kenobi went to the place where the Black Heth were receiving weapons from the Jin'ha, he was attacked by group of Black Heth gang members. After defeating them, he was attacked by the Jin'ha. Supposedly the Black Heth were not heard from again after the Battle of Naboo
