During the New Republic Era, the Trandoshan family was operated on Tatooine, which was known for protecting the Mos Espa city center and its business territories. Control over Mos Espa was divided into three crime families, the Trandoshans at the city center, the Aqualish in the Worker's District, and the Klatooinians in the Mos Espa spaceport and upper sprawl. The family was led by Dokk Strassi, who came to pay tribute to the bounty hunter-turned-crime lord Boba Fett after Fett took over the palace of Jabba the Hutt around 9 ABY.
