| - The Black Vulkars were a swoop gang that had established itself within the Lower City of the Outer Rim world of Taris some time prior to 3964 BBY. The gang, one of the most well known on that ecumenopolis, was known for the thuggish demeanor of its members. During the lead-up to the Mandalorian Wars, the gang was led by a sentient named Benno, a being who did not like to be well known. In the wake of the planet's liberation by Revan and Malak, a former member of the Hidden Beks, Brejik, took control. Disgruntled with not having been made leader of the Beks following Gadon Thek's blindness, which had been caused by a swoop accident, Brejik left his former gang and took over the Vulkars.

| - The Black Vulkars were a swoop gang that had established itself within the Lower City of the Outer Rim world of Taris some time prior to 3964 BBY. The gang, one of the most well known on that ecumenopolis, was known for the thuggish demeanor of its members. During the lead-up to the Mandalorian Wars, the gang was led by a sentient named Benno, a being who did not like to be well known. In the wake of the planet's liberation by Revan and Malak, a former member of the Hidden Beks, Brejik, took control. Disgruntled with not having been made leader of the Beks following Gadon Thek's blindness, which had been caused by a swoop accident, Brejik left his former gang and took over the Vulkars. This change in leadership brought about a drastic change from the gang's earlier reputation. Through the use of coercion, threats of force, and pure iron will, Brejik molded the group of petty thugs into a group of zealots, mobilizing them for a brutal street war against the Hidden Beks. As the Sith Empire under Darth Malak conquered Taris, the war continued, claiming the lives of anyone who got in the Vulkars' path. The Vulkars also refused to accept the Tarisian underworld's hierarchy, openly defying crime lord Davik Kang, who was in charge of Exchange operations on that world. When the reprogrammed former Dark Lord of the Sith, Revan, who had been trapped on Taris by the Sith quarantine, arrived in the Lower City, he sided with the Hidden Beks. He believed that they could help him to find and free the Jedi Padawan Bastila Shan. Unbeknown to him, she was captured by the Vulkars after crash landing in the Undercity of Taris. After Revan and Shan's actions at the Tarisian Season Opener, including killing Brejik, the gang became less intrusive in the Lower City.
