A criminal enterprise, managed by individuals of the Herglic species, made use of Prit Kessek, a Clawdite functioning as a courier. The syndicate tasked Kessek with picking up bags filled with credits from various shadowports. These bags came from couriers employed by an organization controlled by Hutt species members. For each delivery, the Shadowport and Hutt company's courier would be different, as would the identity that Prit would take on. These credits represented payments from shipping tycoon Brevis Taug to the Thanda clan of Zygerrian slavers. Taug had assisted them in acquiring a fleet of slaveship and was responsible for its upkeep. Subsequently, Prit would transport the credits to Atlee Thanda, a Thanda clan member, in orbit above Zygerria, a planet with connections to the syndicate.
The syndicate's courier operation was terminated when a group of hired spacers, posing as a courier, replaced Prit, apprehended Atlee, and turned him over to the authorities.
The Herglic crime syndicate was initially referenced in the Zygerrian Takedown adventure, part of the 2003 Star Wars Roleplaying Game. This adventure was published online by Wizards of the Coast and created by Jason Fry. This article operates under the assumption that the players successfully capture Atlee, as this is the adventure's intended objective, although his death is also a possible outcome. Prit's survival is optional within the adventure.
