Wherever there is commerce there is piracy. Throughout history there have been those who would steal, kidnap, racketeer, and take other shortcuts to fortune. Hired guns whose loyalty is only as deep as their buyers pockers. The Weequay pirates, known under a number of names including the Ohnaka Gang, is a group of such pirates led by Hondo Ohnaka that was based on Florrum, an Outer Rim planet, during the Clone Wars.
With a ruthless and cunning reputation, the Weequay Pirates are known across the Outer Rim as mercenaries for hire who will fight and pillage for any faction or group who has the means to pay.
Now they’ve spotted an opening and have arrived for hire for your Star Wars: Legion games.
