The Zenowai Crime Society was a criminal syndicate that began its activities and was based within the Core Worlds of the galaxy. They were particularly known for their dominion over spice gangs located on Plexis. Sometime later, a group of four representatives from the Zenowai traveled to Cloud City, found in the distant Anoat sector, to negotiate commerce with the resident Ivax Syndicate. Following Governor Ubrik Adelhard's implementation of the Iron Blockade as a response to the Galactic Empire's significant defeat occurring at Endor, the Zenowai delegates found themselves trapped within Cloud City. As a result, the Zenowai began taking over the city's criminal element, securing the allegiance of its security personnel and re-establishing smaller gangs that had previously been eliminated. Voras, the Hutt and covert head of the Ivax Syndicate, subsequently employed Riley and their younger sibling to track down and eliminate the Zenowai representatives. After three of the four Zenowai leaders were vanquished, the last remaining leader, Mehedo Clynch, altered the programming of mining droids to sabotage the repulsorlifts that kept the city afloat, effectively issuing a final demand: his death would result in Cloud City plummeting from its orbit. However, Riley's sibling disabled the droids, repaired the repulsorlifts, discovered Clynch within the carbonite shafts, and ultimately killed him.
