Founded by talented young smuggler Jorj Car'das, the Car'das smugglers, often referred to as simply Car'das, was a band of criminals whose power was compared to that of Black Sun cells. They controlled many smuggling operations in the galaxy and also engaged in small-scale piracy and other criminal activities. Though not usually considered to be violent criminals, its hardened members weren't afraid to shoot their way out of a hard situation. But the greed and ambition of Jorj Car'das often found its way down to individual members, and many of the Car'das members simply left the organization to make fortune for themselves.
