An engineering group was connected to Nem'ro, a Hutt crime lord, throughout the Cold War fought between the Galactic Republic and the re-established Sith Empire. This engineering group toiled for numerous days to discover a method of crippling the manufacturing plants of Fa'athra amidst a conflict between Nem'ro's gang and the competing Fa'athra gang.
The initial reference to Nem'ro's engineering group happened in Star Wars: The Old Republic, the BioWare massively multiplayer online roleplaying video game from 2011.
