The organization she worked for known locally as "The Family"(copying the far more powerful and well known Black Sun's idea- The Underlord's subordinates being called "Vigo"-Nephew, in old Tionese) was a coalition of local smugglers, drug barons, bootleggers and small time thieves. It began with a businessman embezzling funds from his company, and using them to hire local thugs to protect him from the police, becoming its first leader when his operations expanded, first by force, then diplomacy, convincing others to join him, more money to be made from working together rather than competing.
They operated from the shadows for three hundred years before they chose the wrong side during The Clone Wars- seeking a measure of legitimacy and perhaps a pardon from the CIS aligned planetary government, they acted as mercenaries. The war and the Rise of The Empire effectively broke their power, much of its leadership was killed in the fighting- open warfare was far different than intimidation and theft- leaving its overall leader "Grandfather Kesyk" no choice but to promote lesser, totally unqualified leaders.
The Empire came for them next, leaving Majaris, a lowly con artist working for them(started as a dancer in The Republic Club, one of theirs, scammed one of them who was impressed and recruited her), despite "The Family's" largely sexist views, one of the few survivors.
