| - The Steel Legion, often known simply as the Legion, was a powerful criminal organization, based on Nar Shaddaa and later Dac, ruled by the old CIS battle droid Unit 8311, during the times of the Empire and beyond. At its height, it had influence and presence on countless worlds in every sector in the galaxy, and was feared by many. It dealt with many criminal activities, from piracy to major theft to drug running. Over time, it gained a reputation for its large galaxy-wide activities, which provided it with a near-constant source of income. With these large amounts of funds, it gained large military forces, augmented by various technologies, some of which were exclusive to the Legion. Unlike other criminal organizations, the Legion was not afraid to attack the Empire and other governments in its quest for profit. The Legion, despite being broken up shortly before the Battle of Yavin, would later be reformed. Throughout its history, it remained an influential body, rivaled only by Black Sun and the Hutt Cartel, as well as the Zann Consortium. After the Yuuzhan Vong War, it would become the most powerful criminal syndicate in the galaxy due to the elimination of its main rivals. It would go on to survive into the age of the New Empire.
