Dead Hand

Dead Hand was a Criminal Organisation that was created by former Smugglers Alliance Captain, Le'xa Flint. Using his ties on Coruscant and Nar Shaddaa, Flint was able to slowly increase his dealings in the underworld by recruiting or killing his opponents. Having initially formed with the aid of Jabba the Hutt and Bib Fortuna as a possible route to destabilise Coruscant and the Black Sun, Flint formed an unlikely alliance with Gardulla the Younger and the Galactic Empire before double crossing Jabba and managing to lessen the sway of power held on Nar Shaddaa by the Hutt Crime lord.
Within a year of forming, thanks to the loss of major Underworld players on Nar Shaddaa, Corellia, Coruscant and the Outer Rim, the Dead Hand had amassed a wealth of power that saw them being handed the role as overseer of the Kessel Mines near Nar Shaddaa further aiding the Empire's slaving and other rather nefarious plots as well as having gained influence in key areas on Coruscant and Corellia. Though they fail in comparison to the size of the Hutt Empire and Black Sun, they are steadily becoming the third major Underworld power.
Dead Hand was named such thanks to the display of Le'xa Flint's severed hand on his personal vessel, Black Marauder.
