Alexi Garyn Alexi Garyn , nicknamed " Lex " , was a male Human member of the criminal syndicate Black Sun . Serving as a Vigo for decades , Garyn eventually attained the rank of Underlord , the highest position in the organization . Leading the Vigos in the years before the return of the Order of the Sith Lords during the last decades of the Galactic Republic , Garyn saw the syndicate grow to great strength during his reign . Garyn and the rest of the Black Sun leadership were brutally slaughtered during an attack by the Sith Darth Maul in 33 BBY . Biography . Early life . A Human male Force - sensitive born on Ralltiir , Alexi Garyn was not identified by the Jedi Order at an early enough age , resulting in him being passed over by the Order as he was too old to begin the training . His dream of joining the ranks of Jedi Knights diminished , Garyn decided to develop his talents in a different way , turning to crime and becoming a member of the crime syndicate Black Sun . By the year 76 BBY , the Vigos of Black Sun were already preparing young Garyn to take control of the organization ; having already attained the rank of Vigo himself , it would only be a matter of years before he won the position from his competition , such as Boss Cabra . Despite some conflict between Damask Holdings and their support for Boss Cabra , Garyn attained the position of Underlord which he had desired and began to make many friends among the galaxy . Under his leadership , Black Sun built a reign of fear felt on every planet from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim Territories . Even with thousands of soldiers to execute his every order , Garyn kept himself in his fortress on Ralltiir surrounded by a cadre of elite guards . Under his direct command were the nine Vigos , his own personal bodyguard , an extremely skilled female warrior called Mighella , and his trusted secretary Oolth . Enemy of the Sith . During the reign of King Ars Veruna of Naboo , Garyn earned a seat at his royal table during a feast to drown out the applause outside Theed Palace for Veruna ' s competitor Padmé Naberrie ; the feast coincided with the infamous Trade Summit on Eriadu . Taking over the export of Naboo ' s rare plasma , Garyn supported Veruna ' s staunch opposition of Magister Hego Damask , whom Garyn felt had betrayed the trust of the Vigos of Black Sun but who also threatened to usurp the possibility for the self - same lucrative plasma - export contract with Naboo . Unbeknownst to Garyn , Naboo ' s Senator Palpatine — who had ( on his way to the Eriadu Summit ) stopped briefly to also attend the feast in Veruna ' s court — was Darth Sidious , Sith apprentice of Magister Damask , the alter - ego of Darth Plagueis . In Palpatine ' s view , Garyn ' s presence at the feast marked him for death , as his dark master had viewed Garyn ' s relationship with Veruna as a clear signal of betrayal — just as the Black Sun overlord ' s subsequent collusion in Veruna ' s catastrophic nuclear attack on the Muun ' s fortress on Sojourn would irreversibly seal his fate . Although Sidious himself was the true mastermind behind the attack ( which surprisingly failed in its aim to assassinate Damask ) , he and his master agreed that the Zabrak assassin Darth Maul ( who himself , " also ironically " , had originally the proscribed nuclear device ) should be sent to eliminate the Vigos and Garyn in swift retribution for their treacherous involvement — an untraceable Sith attack that would effectively cripple the formidable crime syndicate for many years to come and make it exceedingly difficult for them to regroup . Plagueis and Sidious believed that Black Sun , as it existed , was too much of a threat and an unnecessary hindrance to the Grand Plan , to a swift Sith achievement of galactic conquest . Ordering Maul to hunt down two Vigos at first , Sidious anticipated that Garyn would detect the coming purge and order the surviving Vigos to his fortress on Ralltiir , believing they would be safe inside the impregnable castle . Following the deaths of Vigos Darnada and Morn , Garyn did just that ; bring all the remaining Vigos to one location . Fortifying the complex in hopes of killing the Zabrak assassin , the Vigos and Garyn were gathered when Maul arrived , swiftly cutting through the bodyguards without suffering a single blow . As the Vigos attempted to escape , Garyn sealed them in the audience chamber while he , Mighella , and Oolth , escaped down a turbolift . As his Vigos met their deaths at the end of Maul ' s lightsaber , Garyn attempted to reach his yacht below the fortress but was caught by the assassin before boarding . Igniting his crimson lightsaber , Maul attacked the Nightsister Mighella , who was able to identify him as a Nightbrother of Dathomir before cutting her in half at the waist . While Oolth fled , Maul focused on Garyn and prepared to kill the man . Revealing himself as a Sith , Maul was distracted by his own pride and arrogance , and Garyn managed to attack the Zabrak , drawing blood . Enraged , Maul grabbed Garyn by the throat and drove him under the water , drowning Garyn and leaving his lifeless body in the small reservoir . Legacy . Following the death of Garyn and the other Vigos , Black Sun spiraled out of control and all but collapsed , the few remaining members scattering over the next decade . Despite their apparent killing blow , Black Sun remained and several Vigos vied for power . An attempt to regulate bota with the Hutts during the Clone Wars failed and crippled the organization further . However , Black Sun would recover and emerge stronger then ever under the leadership of Underlord Dal Perhi , with help from a Falleen named Xizor , during the reign of the Galactic Empire . Despite this , surviving members of the organization ' s upper - tier who had served under Garyn would join together circa 0 ABY to form a group called the Garyn Raiders . Operating off of a base on the moon Rori , the Raiders targeted Imperial ships , avenging their fallen leader by harassing the Sith - governed Empire .
