Thalassian slavers
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Thalassian slavers were independent slavers hailing from the Thalassian system in the Outer Rim Territories, known to have hijacked starships to enslave everyone aboard. They also served as mercenaries when credits were low. As a result they were also known as the Thalassian Pirates. The most vicious of the Thalassian slavers was known as the Blood Prince of Thalassia.
Thalassian slavers killed many Snivvians, selling their skins for its thermal properties to various industries. This almost led to the extinction of the species.[1]
Prior to the Clone Wars, a group of Senators including Tikkes, Bufus Ritsomas, Danry Ledwellow and Wuja Wojaine were implicated in a slavery ring by a Thalassian slaver during plea bargain sessions before trial. At this time, the Zygerrians and the Karazaks were also operating slavery groups in the Outer Rim.[2]
By 11 ABY the slavers operated in small groups, each one with a Kaloth-class Battlecruiser and several Y164 slave transports along with starfighters and support craft.[3]
One Kaloth-class Battlecruiser, named the Harmzuay, would meet a rather violent end at the hands of Admiral Tavira's flagship Invidious in a raid on the Caamasi colony at Kerilt.[4]
