Kesselian Dragoons

The Kesselian Dragoons were a galactic group of pirates who also worked as bounty hunters and mercenaries active during the New Republic era.

Their most prominent career was in preying upon ships collecting spice from the mines of Kessel, where they would intercept ships laden with the valuable resource and rob them before reselling them across the Outer Rim, an enterprise which would eventually garner the wrath of Nien Nunb, who had inherited its administration from Lando Calrissian.

With their founder and leader Ambu Fett's employment by the Grand Marshal as trainer for his elite Clone Warriors came a contract for them all to act as a strike force against King Soyak and the government of Aquilae, with their actions triggering the Aquillian Civil War.

Whilst preventing Luke Skywalker and his student Harlan Ysanna from rescuing Harlan's fellow pupil Ken they were in turn attacked by Boba Fett, who had accepted Nien Nunb's bounty on them for half-price given his personal grievance against his supposed "half-sibling" Ambu, and they were all killed or incapacitated except for Ambu (who was in truth a Sorrusian named Rubin Reif), who escaped on an HMP droid gunship. The Kesselian Dragoons effectively were disbanded following their decimation on Aquilae.
