The Imperial Conquistadors were a large galactic criminal cartel that was formed after the times of the New Republic, 11 ABY to be spacific, by the former Galactic Empire Imperial Navy Major Kalkaroff, who formed it out of what remained of his Navy unit, the 9th Imperial Expansion Region Fleet. At first it was composed of a squadron of Star Destroyers and TIE series spacecraft and several thousand former Imperial gunners, soldiers, pilots, and crewmen, but later, after various recruitment and other work, the Conquistadors were the most powerful gang out there in The Galaxy.
