The criminal syndicate known as the Strassi family, alternatively called the Trandoshan family, functioned on the world of Tatooine in the New Republic Era, where they were notorious for safeguarding the Mos Espa city center along with their commercial holdings. The governance of Mos Espa was distributed among three distinct crime families: the Trandoshans who held sway over the city center, the Aqualish who controlled the Worker's District, and the Klatooinians who dominated the Mos Espa spaceport and the upper sprawl. Dokk Strassi headed this family, and he journeyed to offer respect to Boba Fett, the bounty hunter who transitioned into a crime lord, following Fett's acquisition of Jabba the Hutt's palace circa 9 ABY on the planet.
