The Star Wars galaxy has a pretty extensive criminal underworld, with organized crime playing some role from the beginning. Even as far back as A New Hope, Han Solo was a smuggler (a profession that, by definition, requires some level of illegal activity) who only helps Luke because of a debt to the crime boss Jabba the Hutt. Since then, plenty of criminal organizations have surfaced in both the canon and legends timeline: the Hutts, Black Suns, Crimson Dawn, the Exchange, Kanjiklub; but one particular group has been getting an increasing amount of focus: the Pykes.
