The Norulac Freebooters, who were also referred to as the Norulac Pirates, constituted a band of pirates that hailed from the Inner Rim world of Norulac. Their presence and activities were recognized in that region from some years before the Battle of Yavin, and possibly even earlier. They gained notoriety due to their frequent attacks on the farming world of Taanab, which persisted up until 0 ABY, when Lando Calrissian was present in the system by chance. With the gambler leading the charge, the local defense fleet achieved a resounding victory in the Battle of Taanab, either capturing or obliterating almost the entirety of the Freebooter force. It is said that Calrissian was awarded ownership of a Clendoran brewery as a reward for his efforts.
