| - The 1337 N00B5, also known as the Leet Noobs or simply the l33t, were a gang of pirates formed in the early days of the Clone Wars by Kaffman and Radar Spectros. The gang, founded in order to unlock Vergere's Holocron, which had been discovered by Kaffman's archeological team on Korriban, was an unorthodox pirate league, as its code of ethics was based on Jedi's light-sided perception of morality. The gang was led by Ilmar Grmek, a cunning, disciplined, though principled tactician who was unable to become an officer in the Republic Navy when the Clone Army was authorized. It communicated in secret using 1337, which neither the Republic nor the Empire could decipher with their decryption programs.

| - The 1337 N00B5, also known as the Leet Noobs or simply the l33t, were a gang of pirates formed in the early days of the Clone Wars by Kaffman and Radar Spectros. The gang, founded in order to unlock Vergere's Holocron, which had been discovered by Kaffman's archeological team on Korriban, was an unorthodox pirate league, as its code of ethics was based on Jedi's light-sided perception of morality. The gang was led by Ilmar Grmek, a cunning, disciplined, though principled tactician who was unable to become an officer in the Republic Navy when the Clone Army was authorized. It communicated in secret using 1337, which neither the Republic nor the Empire could decipher with their decryption programs. The 1337 N00B5 started as a gang of three members, plus PK-10, a weather prediction and tactical analyst droid owned by Ilmar Grmek. During their first mission, the raid on the Jedi Temple, they enlisted the help of the Blood Karvers. Soon after, Wongata Kelvin and the crew of the Ancient also joined the 1337 N00B5 out of a life debt. The 1337 N00B5 would gradually grow larger and more powerful throughout the rest of the Clone Wars, even enlisting a former Jedi, Thracia Cho-Leem and her children, Rosala Cho-Leem and Jayo Cho-Leem, to their cause. The 1337 N00B5 fought a number of factions during their early years, primarily the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Galactic Republic, though they also had conflicts with the Coruscanti police, the Utapau Security Force, CorSec, Black Sun, the Zann Consortium, and Jabba Desilijic Tiure's crime syndicate. The ultimate goal of the 1337 N00B5 was to destroy the Sith, whose existence was learned of when Vergere's Holocron was discovered. The same Holocron manipulated the 1337 N00B5 into fighting both the Republic and the CIS, though by the finish of the Clone Wars, they had figured out that Palpatine and Dooku were both Sith Lords. After the Declaration of a New Order, the 1337 N00B5 fled the Empire, establishing a permanent base on Yavin IV, and building their forces there. They sent small, covert missions from there, designed mostly for distributing anti-Imperial propaganda, particularly through the 1337 J0URN41Z. When the 1337 N00B5 became more aware of the growing atrocities of the Empire, they developed a plan to destroy Palpatine and Vader by finding the supposed Sith Lord Vergere, who had disappeared in the Unknown Regions years earlier, and therefore likely survived the Jedi Purge. The events that followed are collectively referred to as the Hunt for Vergere. During this campaign, the 1337 N00B5 explored the Unknown Regions, finally fighting either with or against the Galactic Empire, the Yuuzhan Vong, the Chiss Ascendancy, and Zonama Sekot, in a climactic battle that would determine the fate of the galaxy. In that battle, the pirate gang's founder, Kaffman, was killed, and the 1337 N00B5 suffered heavy losses and were forced to retreat into obscurity. Years later, the remains of the 1337 N00B5 would join the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Some of their more skilled pilots, including Jett Worrap and Radar Spectros, wounded up in Ace Squadron.
