Neg Runners

The Neg Runners were a network of smugglers that primarily operated throughout an area of the galaxy known as the "Negs" (so named for its coordinates often beginning with a negative digit). They were initially aligned with the Black Sun before later being contracted with the Rebel Alliance as privateers.

History
The Neg Runners were formed shortly before the Clone Wars and began spent the duration of its early years working Black Sun contracts; these contracts typically involved the movement of illegal narcotics and military-grade weapons between Black Sun outposts throughout the Negs; they frequently had run-ins with the Sector Rangers, Republic Judicial Forces, and Hutt Cartel privateers in their operations, though retained a high success rate. At some point during the Galactic Empire's existence, an Imperial Navy task force intercepted a Neg Runner fleet and seized millions of credits worth of contraband; consequently, the Neg Runners seemed to have been disbanded and the Black Sun turned to other smuggler networks in the Negs. Just before the start of the Galactic Civil War, however, the Neg Runners reemerged under new leadership and carried out a few more operations under the Black Sun before being contracted by the Rebel Alliance. As Rebel privateers, the Neg Runners carried out assaults on Imperial patrols and participated in supply missions to contested space. When the Galactic Civil War ended, the majority of the Neg Runners became members of the New Republic Navy, mostly serving as crewmen and starfighter pilots. The former leader of the Neg Runners was gifted command of a modified CR-90 corvette that was eventually destroyed during a space battle with an Imperial splinter cell.
