The group known as the Black Curs consisted of smugglers and criminals. They came together six months following the Battle of Endor. Their primary objective was to exact vengeance on the Galactic Empire due to the Empire's wrongdoings. Because of this shared goal, they collaborated with the New Republic, supplying intelligence about Imperial operations, hoping that this would contribute to the Empire's downfall. The Black Curs participated in the Rout of Hensara.
