- "Spice dealers connected to all the crime families on Coruscant."
"The Pykes. They will be the next to join us." - ―Pre Vizsla and Darth Maul
The Pyke Syndicate, also known as the Pyke family, was an organization of Pyke spice dealers based on the planet Oba Diah. Their leader, Lom Pyke, allied them with Darth Maul's Shadow Collective during the Clone Wars.
The Pyke family would prove useful to Maul in the subsequent takeover of the New Mandalorians' capital city, Sundari, on Mandalore, a short time after Lom Pyke joined Maul and the collective.
It was revealed that Finis Valorum sent Sifo-Dyas and Silman on a secret mission to deal with the Pyke Syndicate on the moon Oba Diah.
After the fragmentation of the Shadow Collective, the Pyke Syndicate sought to expand their power by incorporating many smaller groups into their cartel, and they continue to persist in their trade despite the increased security of the Galactic Empire.[4]
