The Raptors functioned as a criminal organization operating within the lower levels of Coruscant. Their primary area of influence was situated within the Crimson Corridor, and many individuals residing in or near this territory were fearful of them. The gang's composition encompassed a diverse array of species, including Humans, Kubaz, Bith, Gotals, Snivvians, Trandoshans, Saurin, Devaronians, and H'nemthe. Predominantly composed of young adults, the Raptors were known for their flamboyant and colorful attire. Noteworthy members included individuals known as Green Hair and Nig.
Around 32 BBY, approximately twelve members of the Raptors attempted to commandeer Darsha Assant's skyhopper during her extraction mission in the Crimson Corridor. To prevent theft, Assant had positioned the skyhopper hovering twenty meters above the street; however, the Raptors circumvented this by employing ropes and grappling hooks, enabling three of their members to ascend onto the vehicle. They proceeded to jettison the supplies and equipment from the skyhopper to their accomplices below and subsequently disabled the autopilot, causing the craft to descend to street level.
At that moment, Assant reappeared accompanied by her ward, Oolth. She requested that the Raptors vacate the vehicle and return the stolen items. However, upon being met with resistance from Green Hair, she employed a mind trick in an attempt to compel them to leave. Her attempt was nearly successful, but Oolth's sudden scream disrupted her concentration, prompting the Raptors to attack her. They swarmed Assant and began assaulting her with kicks, but she retaliated with a Force push, sending them sprawling, and then activated her lightsaber. Upon realizing that she was a Jedi, many Raptors hesitated to engage her, despite Green Hair's urging. Nevertheless, Nig attempted to ambush Assant from behind using a vibroblade, but she severed his hand, causing the Raptors to temporarily withdraw from the street.
Assant and Oolth then boarded the skyhopper, only to discover that it had sustained irreparable damage. The Raptors resumed their assault, this time firing at the vehicle from a distance, resulting in cracks in the windshield. Assant utilized her ascension gun to hoist herself and Oolth onto a nearby building. Despite continued sniper fire from the Raptors, they managed to escape, albeit into a swarm of aggressive hawk-bats.
