Skaak Tippers

The Skaak Tippers were a gang of renegade computer slicers, formed by a mysterious Corellian known only as the Tipper. He took that monicker because he would "tip" the contents of other people's bank account into his own.

The Skaak Tippers, who dealt in illegal trade of information, ripping of bank account and other actis of computer network crime, had several inspirations for the name of their organization. The "Tipper" part obviously was derived from the monicker of their leader. The "sk" in "Skaak" was inspired by the SK unit of measure for computer data, while "aak" was inspired by the ferocious aak dogs of Haruun Kul. The name was meant to give the impression that the Skaak Tipers were a pack of vicious computere hackers.

The Skaak Tippers were very active on Naboo during the Galactic Civil War. The Naboo Skaak Tippers suffered a major setback when Royal Security Forces agents assassinated their leader, Johnni Skaak, but continued their crminal activities nonetheless.
