Slaver guild

Slaver guilds were essentially organizations established with the primary aim of acquiring slaves, whether through lawful or unlawful means, often from planets located in the Outer Rim Territories. Following the establishment of the Galactic Empire and the subsequent legalization of slavery, which had previously been prohibited under the Galactic Republic, these guilds experienced a surge in their business activities.

According to Terrinald Screed, among the numerous entities involved in the slave trade, only a select few stood out: namely, the Zygerrian Slavers Guild, the Thalassian Pirates, and the comparatively recent Karazak Slavers Cooperative.

With the ascent of the New Republic, slavery was officially banned, yet it persisted in clandestine criminal sanctuaries. During this period, slaver guilds such as the Thalassian slavers and the Zygerrian Slavers Guild were largely reduced in power, existing as shadows of their past influence, but they still maintained a consistent supply of slaves to the Hutt Kajidics and similar groups.
