Vigo/Legends

A Vigo was a title used by the Black Sun crime syndicate to denote the organization's leadership. It meant "nephew" in Old Tionese.
At any given time, nine of these lieutenants each oversaw a different region of the galaxy and reported directly to the organization's head, the Black Sun Underlord.
==Overview==
The word Vigo meant "nephew" in Old Tionese, which created the semblance of a familial bond between the leadership, making them appear stronger and indivisible to outsiders.
Selected from the ranks of Black Sun's membership, the Vigos only numbered nine and were assigned to oversee the organization's operations in one of nine sectors of the galaxy, the Vigos reported directly to Black Sun's leader.Darth Maul (2000) 1
==History==
Under the leadership of Underlord Alexi Garyn, Black Sun and the nine Vigos built a reign of fear felt on every planet from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim Territories in the decade preceding the Clone Wars. This surge in power drew the attention of Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Plagueis and his apprentice, Darth Sidious. To rectify this, the Sith dispatched their assassin,Darth Plagueis Darth Maul, to assassinate the Vigos and Garyn at their fortress on Ralltiir in 33 BBY. Catching the Vigos off their guard, Maul wiped out the leaders and Black Sun fell into disarray for years.Darth Maul (2000) 4
Despite the purge, Black Sun recovered and a new generation of Vigos was appointed from the remnants of the organization. By 27 BBY, the Vigos were attempting to rebuild, though they faced many challenges.

In 3.5 ABY, Prince Xizor ordered his assassin Guri to execute Vigo Green after Green's betrayal.
During the Rebellion, Han Solo was contracted by Eanjer, a businessman whose family had been killed by Black Sun, to break into Black Sun governor Avrak Villachor's vault on Wukkar and retrieve his money. Solo assembled a team of outlaws he knew, which also included Leia's aide, Winter. A Falleen vigo named Qazadi was also present at the time, making the operation more difficult, but they successfully broke into the mansion and emptied the vault, which contained an Alderaanian encryption device known as a cryodex and a copy of the Black Sun's blackmail database. At the end of the raid, Eanjer assassinated Qazadi, revealing himself to be Boba Fett in disguise.Scoundrels
