Shikaakwa was home to the Nine Houses, and among them was Volke House.
A family belonging to Volke House reached out to Maxhagan, a gangster based on the planet Nox, in 25,797 BBY, seeking intel regarding a possible Nox settlement. Maxhagan subsequently furnished them with essential details that enabled the establishment of a production hub within Crystal City, a prominent manufacturing center on the planet. Nevertheless, after establishing their enterprise in Crystal City, Volke House declined to compensate Maxhagan and eliminated three of his representatives.
In retaliation, Maxhagan instigated a conflict in Crystal City aimed at dismantling Volke House's presence, leading to a battle that claimed the lives of three thousand individuals, effectively destroying the Volke family's entire operation on Nox.
