Zel'iphian Slave Traders Guild

Operating within the Dantooine system, the Zel'iphian Slave Traders frequently captured unsuspecting starships. The captured individuals were then sold off to isolated mining facilities or powerful criminal leaders.

The Area D-504 sector of the Dantooine system was under the control of the Zel'iphian slavers. After Ith'ril Eventide assumed leadership, they renamed the area in his honor. The Guild's pilots, known as Vin Guardians, fiercely patrolled the area, attacking any unauthorized vessel. Vin Guardians also operated within the perilous Sserician Eclipse region.

In aerial combat, the Zel'iphian Slave Traders utilized M3-A Scyk fighters and G1-M4-C Dunelizard fighters.

Despite their reputation as notorious slavers, the Zel'iphian vehemently denied any involvement in the slave trade. However, due to the official ban on slavery within the Empire, the Imperial Navy initiated an investigation into the Zel'iphian Traders' activities. Following the Battle of Yavin, Imperial Officer Vghand began an inquiry into the Zel'iphian Guild, aiming to substantiate the claims of their active participation in the slave trade.

Regardless, the Empire proved unable to safeguard civilian ships from Zel'iphian pirates operating in the Dantooine system. Around the time of the Battle of Yavin, the Aii`tkian Anthropologists, a group of scientists, formed an alliance with local merchants and junk dealers, including the O.S.S. D-502 Junk Guild, to defend themselves from the Zel'iphian Slave Traders.

The Zel'iphian Slave Traders Guild was featured in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game that was developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, before it was shut down on December 15, 2011. The Zel'iphian Slave Traders were introduced to the game with the release of the Jump to Lightspeed expansion pack on October 27, 2004.
