The Collective was an underground organization composed of engineers, technicians, and scientists who were determined to stop the spread of authoritarianism via the use of technology. It used a white-horned serpent as its symbol. The Collective operated on Corellia, where they were supported by Nifera Shu, wife of the influential businessman Hasadar Shu. After the Collective received First Order data containing a list of targets and prisoners from Monti Calay, Nifera Shu put it up for auction.
However the First Order raided the auction to retrieve that list, but fortunately the Resistance managed to rescue the auctioneer and escape along the other Resistance party with escape prisoners and stolen ships. After the rescue, the Collective let the Resistance pay for the list and then gave them coordinates to a Rendezvous Place to catch with Leia Organa's Resistance cell.
