Sansanna spice, a type of spice located across the galaxy, was highly desired by many criminals.
Following Maul and [Savage Opress](/article/savage_opress]'s raid on a space station within the Cybloc system, the renegade Sith stole a transport ship that contained a crate of pure sansanna spice. After boarding the vessel, members of Hondo Ohnaka's pirate gang discovered the crate.
Lom Pyke, who led the Pyke Syndicate during the Clone Wars, heavily consumed sansanna spice, resulting in stains on his fingers and face. Additionally, Lom wore an amulet that held some of the spice.
Platt Okeefe, a smuggler, recommended it as a profitable cargo in Smuggler's Guide by pirate Maz Kanata. Okeefe advised against trafficking variants such as ryll or the spice strains mined on Kessel, suggesting that smugglers instead focus on variants like carsunum, andris, and sansanna spice.
In 3 ABY, a sansanna shipment was stored inside a ventilation channel on Fuel Station Visavi while it was orbiting the Outer Rim Territories moon of Toshara. A memo was distributed, indicating that leaving the spice there could have resulted in catastrophic consequences.
