A smaller collection of organizations, Crymorah almost rose to prominence as a potential underworld ally of the Empire, after the destruction of an Imperial weapons facility on the moon of Cymoon-1 by the Rebel Alliance in the wake of the first Death Star’s destruction struck a major financial and research setback for the Empire. However, at Palpatine’s direct behest, the Crymorah were passed over in negotiations with the Empire despite prior intelligence dealings with the syndicate, so the Sith could send Darth Vader as a direct negotiator to the Hutt cartels. As the cartels, and Jabba in particular, grew in influence with the Empire’s backing, the Crymorah were instead left to be hounded by Imperial crackdowns on crime in the Outer Rim territories, rendering them all-but dissolved.
