Aphra's crew[7] was the grouping of various bounty hunters, assassins, and other allies who worked with the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra at any given time. For a brief time, even the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader worked with her: Vader hired Aphra to build secret forces without the knowledge of Vader's Sith Master Darth Sidious in 0 ABY. Aphra, however, eventually fell out of Vader's favor, and she went back to searching for lost artifacts.
After, she obtained the Kyber crystal with the conscience of an ancient Jedi called Rur with her team including Krrsantan, 0-0-0 and BT-1.[6] She attempted to auction it to a handful of criminal syndicates[8] but failed when 0-0-0 wanted her to free him from his programmed leash and released Rur on the criminals.[9] Rur killed most of the criminals and 0-0-0 was free of his leash by Aphra, but not before contacting Darth Vader.[10] Vader arrived to find Rur and defeated him after a short duel, obtaining the crystal. Aphra, Krrsantan, 0-0-0 and BT-1 escaped in separate ships and 0-0-0 and BT-1 took control of the Rodian gang known as the Son-tuul Pride.[11]

The mercenary Just Lucky also worked with Aphra on several occasions.[16] Eustacia Okka had worked with Aphra at the University of Bar'leth, and discovered the Rings of Vaale. Doctor Okka's assistant droid was TA-418, and Detta Yao was an archeology student who worked with Aphra and Dr. Okka during their expedition to find the Rings of Vaale.[16] Tam Posla was a former lawman who worked as a mercenary for Aphra.[17] The assassin Sister Six worked under Aprha and 0-0-0.[17] Sana Starros, a former classmate and girlfriend from the University of Bar'leth,[18] also worked with her on occasion. After the scourge of the droids, Aphra would be joined on her travels by Starros and Magna Tolvan, the two women she loved.[12]
