The Knights of the Core were a humanocentric terrorist group that was active around 32 BBY. That year, a local branch of the Knights stationed on Naboo planned on smuggling a clodhopper-infested cargo onto Stend IV. Their target was a specific continent of that planet which was home to a large colony of Elomins and Grans. However, the Republic Intelligence learned about that threat, and a team was sent to Naboo to foil the terrorists' plans. It was discovered that the Chief of Security at the Kwilaan Starport on Naboo was in league with the Knights of the Core, and the Republic agents were only able to destroy the tainted cargo after traveling to Stend IV themselves.
