Gentlemen of the Core

Gentlemen of the Core, often simply referred to as the Gentlemen, was a mafia that operated primarily on Coruscant, though also had a presence on surrounding Core Worlds including Anaxes and Corellia. One of the largest and oldest criminal organizations in the Core Worlds, the Gentlemen maintained thousands of associates who participated in trafficking, contract murder, extortion, kidnapping/ransoming, and even small-scale terrorism. Their members were typically of a wealthy background, and, like most other affluent crime families, saw themselves as superior to the typically impoverished street gangs that they often came into conflict with. While their thousands of associates operating across the Core Worlds, they were primarily concentrated in the Gessley neighborhood on Coruscant's surface. As their members frequently wore black dress suits, they were often referred to by their rivals as the Blacksuits. The Gentlemen were a major contender in the Coruscant Turf War.
