The Xal 3 Armorers' Confederacy, at first called the Armorers' Confederacy, consisted of renegade armorers and weapons specialists. This group initially had its headquarters on the planet Xal 3. However, they were driven from their home planet and compelled to find sanctuary in the Krasho Salt Rifts located on Sarafur towards the end of the Galactic Republic. The Confederacy had a reputation for being highly skilled in the repair of virtually every type of combat armor, and their unique armor creations were regarded as some of the finest in the Outer Rim Territories.
