Dead Families

The Dead Families were a small pirate gang active in the Western Sand Sea region of Dohm Exann on the planet Caterran.

Background
The Dead Families were founded by a Human male by the name of Lugo in roughly the year 11BBY following the slaughter of his family by Imperial forces. Their membership largely comprised those who had suffered at the hands of the Empire and sought retribution. Though the Dead Families styled themselves much by the same methods as the more established pirate gangs of the area, their method of operation stood in stark contrast: where other gangs would opt to minimize violence and plunder goods as cleanly as possible, the Dead Families slew their victims to the last, typically destroying material goods where applicable. This behavior often saw the Dead Families labeled terrorists rather than pirates.

As the Dead Families preyed solely upon Imperial targets, they found themselves at odds with most other gangs of the area, many of whom were in dealings with the Empire. Their only consistent ally was the similarly anti-Empire Aldous gang, though the alliance between the two was fickle at best.
