Sélima Kim ( organization ) Sélima Kim was a pirate organization , named after Sélima Kim , also a pirate . History . Sélima Kim was a mediocre pirate who , once in old age , specialized in reparations , maintenance and sale of privateer ' s ships . Her son later took over the business , and christened it after his mother . Generation after generation , the business was modernized and structured , and became a thorn in the side on the interstellar trade . For at least two times , there were attempts to destroy the organization , but the pirates always managed to flee . During the Rebellion era , Sélima Kim was a pirate lair , dedicated to black market and to launch attacks against convoys . Sometime after the Battle of Yavin , Sélima Kim used Limase corporation to buy more and more small markets , trying to gain power in the merchant ' s Council of the planet Blinder . By this access to the council , they hoped to rule the entire planet , as it was governed by corporation ambassadors . Six months after the Battle of Hoth , they tried to sell an information to the Empire : some rogue operatives from the Alliance to Restore the Republic retrieved data about a military cooperation between the Empire and the Gasharn Kingdom and knew that the Emperor Palpatine would came himself to sign the treaty . But the Imperial Intelligence already known and instead paid Sélima Kim to sell the same information to the Rebellion . Activities . Since Sélima Kim was specialized in reparation and maintenance , the organization never lost this support orientation . But the business was so successful that the original repair shop became , under the guidance of the Kim family , a whole complex of hotels , cantina , casinos , markets , and a even a complete shipyard . Customers had access to different markets , shops and wholesales . The space station also offered forgery services to justify the possession of stolen goods , from Vibrosaw to vessels . Those false documents were of good quality but expensive , as was the rest of what Sélima Kim had to offer . Pirates and privateers also had opportunities to find job , whether by association with fellow criminals on attacks or by being directly engaged as mercenaries by the organization . Sélima Kim was vast enough to serve as a starting point for raids . The Kim family also operated as pirates , and continually spied the entire base . They would often mix with the population and hide spying devices , tracking the best coup and joining the raids when they could . They also wouldn ' t hesitate to sell any valuable informations , even to the Galactic Empire or the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Around the time of the Battle of Hoth , Sélima Kim tried to enlarge its activities with the political control of Blinder , a planet dominated by powerful corporation such as BioTech Industries , Industrial Automaton and the Mining Guild . They created the Limase corporation to legally buy small markets and gained enough influence to sit at the merchant ' s Council . Access . It was a difficult task to integrate or even access Sélima Kim . Only its members knew the location of the base , and the organization always ensure the silence of its agents . Only pirates and privateers with an established reputation were allowed , and only if they were supported by a member . When proposed , an agent took its coordinates , a sample of the applicant ' s skin and asked him to stay at the place for one week to a month . If the applicant was accepted , he was contacted by the same agent who gave him a customer code , a mail number and a Subspace transceiver frequency . Those informations must be memorized and would be used to contact Sélima Kim . Before leaving , the agent explained to the new member the way he would die in case of betrayal . If the applicant is rejected , the organization would send assassins on its trail . Nobody would go to the base by himself . The organization maintained a high level of security and looked for their customers itself . After contacting the agent , an individual would receive an appointment , where he would give his customer code . Before embarking , the pirates would compare the code with the genetic code of the customer . There was three way to travel to Sélima Kim : without a vessel , the customer would embark on one of the organization ' s starship which regularly reached spaceports of civilized worlds . With a vessel , an agent of the organization would embark and secretly add the coordinates of the base in the navigation computer , then would take the command . If a damaged ship called the organization , a Trundle - freighter ship could lead it to destination . Staff . Since its foundation , Sélima Kim was ruled by the Kim Family , such as the twins Hilma and Sven . Under their lead , the entire organization comprised 132 . 547 individuals : 38 . 453 ground staff , 20 . 249 space staff , 2 . 463 exterior agents , 12 . 592 administrative staff . Sélima Kim also had a fleet , consisting of a Mon Calamari Star Cruiser , seven CR90 corvette , five EF76 Nebulon - B escort frigate , 153 TIE / LN starfighter , 93 TIE / IN interceptor , 18 Super Transport XI , a luxury yacht and nine Trundle - freighter ship s . All the individuals knowing the Sélima Kim coordinates were called " agents " , and all were dependent on the muratine , a drug used to induce death wishes under hypnotism . It would conduct the victim to become violent and suicidal under certain conditions , such as questioning about the Sélima Kim location .
