GENERAL INFORMATION
Group Name: The Nerina Syndicate
Classification: Criminal organisation
Headquarters: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Umbara/Legends
Loyalties: Umbaran underworld/secretly to the Rootai Gerad Naahan
Group Sigil: N/A
Description: The Nerina syndicate was born out of a need to dominate the criminal underworld and consolidate the various feuding Umbaran gangs together in the name of profit, no exact founding date is given but it is believed by scholars that the organisation has existed since at least the early days of the clone wars. They primarily specialise in the drugs trade, racketeering, extortion, arms dealing and the managing of several high brow brothels and clubs.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
Hierarchy: The syndicates chain of command is simple, they are divided into multiple families and gangs that all hold a piece of territory or area of space, in return the heads of each organisation rule via a council with it being headed by an overall boss of bosses.
Membership: Made members typically have to commit a murder i.e make their bones for the syndicate, this can involve either offing a rival criminal or in some cases a member of the local law enforcement. Only Umbarans or people of proven Umbaran blood can be made members, non Umbarans serve the organisation as associates and hired muscle. As of 855ABYY it is believed that there are over 200 made members and 2,000-3,000 associates, although estimates and numbers tend to vary as there are multiple conflicting sources and the general secrecy of the group makes it hard.
Dogma/Doctrines: The Syndicate has a series of rules for made members, heeding to the core rule of blood in blood out, once you are in the Syndicate you are in it for life and the only way you'll leave it is when you are dead. Hits on fellow members who are seen to be attracting too much heat or are proven to be a liability must be approved by the council of bosses prior, to kill another made man in an unsanctioned manner is to attract a fate worse than death. Ratting is also commonly looked down upon amongst the syndicate but it is not uncommon for the syndicate to work with local governments if a deal suits them.
Curios: Made members can be commonly identified by a unique geometric tattoo hidden behind their ears that denote their loyalty to the syndicate, said tattoos vary in colour and design for different respective outfits but the core design is generally the same.
Goals: The goals of the syndicate have remained the same since their inception, to profit from the many illegal and legal ventures they partake in and also keep their hegemony on crime intact in SJO space.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Nerina Syndicate is believed to have first been founded by a coalition of Umbaran gangs in the waning years before the clone wars, being created upon the basis of mutual business and stronger protection against the enterprising Hutt Cartels. First garnering major attention with a series of whackings of various Hutt cartel members and targeted bombings of various Hutt owned properties, while primarily concerned with drug trafficking, the organization also runs profitable slave trafficking and gun running rackets.
The organisations name is derived from the surname of its first boss of bosses 'Beren Nerina', a famous career criminal in his own right and a racketeer with multiple charges for murder galaxy wide. Once Beren consolidated his power, he expanded the responsibilities of the syndicate, which began to organize kidnappings, protection rackets, extortion, securing drug supplies and trafficking routes known as highways and executing its foes, often with barbaric savagery. In the year of 23BYY he found himself in a vicious turf war with the black sun organisation, in order to protect the syndicates business and turf from Black Sun reprisals, Beren used his political connections on the home planet to secure army surplus and weaponry to bring the fight to the Black sun. The war concluded after a vicious spate of gun battles and sabotage between both factions, with the black sun removing their presence from the syndicates own turf after the death of fourteen members. However, in the early months of 22BYY, Beren was murdered in a hit and run outside a club on Coruscant, allowing the Black Sun a form of revenge for their monetary and man power losses in the prior war.
Bribery of local planetary police forces and their own immense political power on Umbara means that the syndicate has largely evaded destruction throughout the centuries following its violent inception. The syndicates membership ranges from corrupt Umbaran politicians, Umbaran career criminals,former defected Umbaran military personnel and in rare cases even Rootai. In early 839ABYY, Gerad Naahan, respected military general and member of the Rootai, had reportedly taken the leadership of the Syndicate and assassinated its prior boss of bosses 'Varan Moore'. Moore was initially content to have Naahan as a boss on the council as Gerads father had previously been, but reportedly gave Naahan too much power and underestimated his brutal nature.Naahans active leadership gained him the loyalty and respect of many in the syndicate, leading to many bosses to eventually stop paying their tributes to Moore. Varan Moores mutilated and battered corpse was later discovered by horrified onlookers outside a bar on Zeltros, many believe the murder to be the work of made men loyal to Naahan or the dirty involvement of the Hutt Cartel.
