The Guardians of Kiffu, also known as the Kiffu Guardians, were an organization established by the Kiffar. Their purpose was to maintain order on both Kiffu and its surrounding sector, as well as to oversee the penal colony of Kiffex. The Sheyf served as the leader of the Guardians, whose structure incorporated the rank of general.
The Guardians were recognized by their black body armor and a gold five-pointed star inside a circle, which served as their emblem. This symbol was the same as that of Clan Vos, a powerful family that held authority over the Guardians in the time period leading up to the Clone Wars.
By the year 137 ABY, the Guardians utilized both blasters and stun batons as part of their arsenal. During the Second Imperial Civil War, they adopted a position of neutrality. However, by 138 ABY, they declined a request from the Sith Imperial forces to establish a base on Kiffu.
