The Azure Cabal was formed by Loruna Scathe, a former Mistryl Shadow Guard member, who learned the truth about the origins of the Guard and left it. The Cabal competed with the Shadow Guard for the same kinds of contracts, so she maintained tight secrecy for the safety of herself, her people and her clients. To avoid conflict with the Guard or attract the attention of the Empire, the Cabal was organized to consist of scattered, but highly capable mercenaries that operated throughout the galaxy. Each member of the inner-circle solicited mercenary contracts from specific contacts to avoid undue attention.
Various mercenaries and rogues sought out employment with the Cabal, but in order to reach the inner-circle, they had to succeed in surviving a number of tough tests. A spacer succeeded in doing so in 1 ABY.
The Azure Cabal quest series was added to Star Wars Galaxies as part of Chapter 6, in 2007.
