Eyan McDermitt's pirate gang

A gang of pirates led by Eyan McDermitt operated on the planet Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War.
==History==
After the Battle of Yavin, the gang was based in Mos Taike, on the planet Tatooine, and was ruled by Eyan McDermitt. Althoug the gang had ties with the Black Sun, it was largely considered with disdain by other criminal organization, such as Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire. Nevertheless, the pirates had refused to work for the Valarian Syndicate.
In 1 ABY, the gang hijacked a courier ship belonging to the Incom Corporation. The pirates were only after general cargo but they also stole an encrypted datapad with sensitive information. One of the pirates, Oniruko, attempted to slice but she was fatally injured by the storage device's protection system. Since he did not succeed in obtaining the data, Eyan McDermitt later accepted to sell the datapad to an Imperial commando named Jubai Laetlii. Meanwhile, an individual by the name Sarlis Beni was contacted by Incom Corporation to retrieve the datapad. Beni localized the pirate gang and dispatched a spy to recover the storage data. The spy killed four members of the gang and confronted McDermitt. The pirate leader was forced to reveal he had sold the datapad to Jubai Laetlii. The spy then left the pirates and departed to the Imperial Oasis to find Laetlii. The datapad was eventually returned to Incom Corporation.
==Behind the scenes==
