The intelligence organization known as the Ryn Network, also called the Ryn Syndicate and nicknamed the Gatherers, was established by a Ryn named Droma during the peak of the Yuuzhan Vong War. This syndicate functioned with an extremely relaxed interpretation of the cell structure, strategically positioning the frequently overlooked Ryn species within crucial areas of the galaxy. Their purpose was to gather intelligence that could subsequently be utilized to support the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. By employing various clandestine agents who skillfully left clues and messages in locations where they were certain to be discovered, the Ryn Network guided Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo to several emerging epicenters of Yuuzhan Vong infiltration and influence. Thanks to their assistance, the Solos successfully resolved critical situations on Galantos, Bakura, and Esfandia, concurrently enhancing the rapport with the Imperial Remnant.
