- "Crimson Dawn and the rest of the five syndicates have committed unspeakable crimes across the galaxy."
- ―Enfys Nest[1]
The Five Crime Syndicates[3] was a term given to several crime syndicates located in the galaxy.[1] Crimson Dawn, Black Sun, the Crymorah Syndicate, the Hutt Clan, and the Pyke Syndicate all made up the group. Although it consisted of five major crime syndicates, the smaller Son-tuul Pride was a sixth member.[4] During the time of the Galactic Empire, the renegade Sith Lord Maul had gained control over the syndicates. Though the arrangement seemed to be well received among the leaders, other members of each syndicate were unhappy with this arrangement, as Maul, in their eyes, "kept them under his boot.” Maul was the shadow leader of Crimson Dawn, which was widely considered as the most powerful and dangerous among the syndicates,[5] and enjoyed a fragile alliance with the Pykes. Though Crimson Dawn was loathe to risk it,[1] warring among the factions was not uncommon.[6]
Sometime after Supreme Leader Snoke's assumption of leadership within the First Order, Master Codebreaker wrote in the Smuggler's Guide new list of powerful syndicates, Black Sun lost their place in the list and became vigo diaspora, the Crymorah was replaced by the Droid Gotra, Crimson Dawn was replaced by both the Son-tuul Pride and the Guavian Death Gang, and finally, the Pykes and Hutts were replaced by Kanjiklub and the Red Key Raiders.[4]
