- Organization Name: Red Riots
- Classification: Bōsōzoku - Swoop Gang
- Affiliation: Yōkai
- Organization Symbol: Red Riots in Atrisian script.
- Description: The Red Riots were a large and dangerous swoop gang that operated out of Gold Sector, Coronet City.
- Headquarters: Ozai
- Domain: Corellia - Gold Sector
- Notable Assets: Highly modified swoop bikes
- Hierarchy: Despite being run by mostly twenty-something-year-olds, the Red Riots were highly organized. Split between several Divisions with set territories within Gold District, it was not uncommon for one group to fight another or claim a grievance against another Red Riot chapter for disobeying rules or causing trouble outside of their own section (though they tried to keep infighting to a minimum). Each Division was run by a Lieutenant, Vice-Captain, and Captain and had at least 20 sentients. All of the Divisions together fell under the "Big Boss". Above the Big Boss was the "Older Sister" Keiko, one of the Yōkai's Ronin who oversaw not only the Red Riots but the other Bōsōzoku in Gold Sector.
- Membership: All members of the Red Riot are members of Yōkai as well and are generally seen as the bottom of the totem pole in that organization. Barely better than Geisha Girls, drug peddlers, and street urchins. While there were at least four other Bōsōzoku under the Yōkai's Ronin known as Keiko, the Red Riots were by far the largest group with over 200 bikers.
- Climate: Most of the members of Red Riot are kids in their teens and early to mid-twenties. As a result, unless you piss one off they're about as friendly as most kids that age. Down to party, drink, and bool, these wild kids just don't have an off switch.
- Reputation: Dangerous and unpredictable. The Red Riots have captured the dark imaginings of the Coronet populous. Rumor says that CorSec has been hiding the actual number of Red Riot-related murderes so as to not cause a panic.
- Curios: They all wear either Yōkai masks or Yōkai inspired helmet designs. Their bikes are emblazoned with the Atrisian symbol for Red Riot
- Rules: All rules of the Yōkai
- Goals:
- Protect Yōkai interests in and out of Gold Sector
- Attack businesses and persons who refuse to pay into the Yōkai protection racket
- Kill those who cheat Keiko/Yuuna in their swoop gambling rings
- Cause a ruckus and be a distraction for the real business of the Yōkai to get done

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Bōsōzoku - An Atrisian term catch-all term for dangerous and violent swoop gangs that were usually attached to criminal organizations. At the end of the day, that's all the Red Riots were, a group of kids with too much time to spend with access to dangerous weapons. On a planet like Corellia, where the dangerous sport of Swoop Racing was legal, a group of kids racing and getting the occasional ticket wouldn't have drawn eyes. However, the Red Riots were different. Attacking people in the streets, grand theft auto, murder, armed robbery, and drug dealing were all in their repertoire. Run and operated as part of the Atrisian crime family known as the Yōkai, they have become a serious threat. Where in previous years and decades the gang kept their antics within the confines of Gold Sector, since the attack on Coruscant they have been increasingly spotted in Blue, Red, Bronze, and even Green sector. Stories of bodies found dragged through traffic and of prominent swoop race gamblers found with credits stuffed in their mouth have filled Corellian news alongside the growing epidemic of gang violence in Coronet. Despite recent hideout busts, it looks to be that their numbers are slowly swelling rather than dropping.
