Epsis (organization)

Epsis is a criminal organization based in Point Nadir during the Galactic Civil war (although rumors have that started operating outside of Point Nadir during the late years of the Clone Wars). It was headed by Liash Keane, a reportedly female Ubese. It specialized in crimes such as dealing in illegal technology, slicing, forgery, "reallocations of ownership".

History
Epsis was founded by the Ubese Liash Keane. Keane had a typical Ubese interest in technology, and to fund that interest, began to take jobs such as assassination, mercenary work, and other such undertakings. After a particularly well-paying job, Keane went into working for herself. She began on Nar Shadda, acquiring rare and often illegal technology for her clients. Over time, she became a well-known member of her field, and decided to begin gathering together several other thieves, technophiles, and similarly-minded associates to create a powerful network of their respective skills. So powerful, in fact, that several powerful Hutt Kajidics gave her and her network an ultimatum: assimilate themselves to the hutts or die. Keane chose neither, instead ordering her network to go underground, and continuing her work on the run under various guises. Keane eventually settled in Point Nadir, and the present-day Epsis was born.
