- "I understand that the Republic is cracking down on my operations. Just a week ago they raided one of my shipments arriving on Coruscant."
"Were there Jedi?"
"I don't know. None of my men made it out."
"Hmm. Well, then the answer is yes." - ―Marg Krim and Maul
In 19 BBY,[1] during the Clone Wars, a shipment of spice belonging to the Pyke Syndicate was raided by the Galactic Republic on its arrival to Coruscant, with the drug being seized. None of the Pykes escorting the shipment made it back to the syndicate. The loss was of great concern to Pyke leader Marg Krim, as it meant the displeasure of Maul, the leader of the Shadow Collective which the Pykes were a member of. Informed of the loss, Maul took the loss of Krim's men as a sign that the Jedi had been involved in the raid.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
The raid was first mentioned in "Together Again," the eighth episode of the seventh and final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which premiered on April 10, 2020.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 In "Together Again," this raid is said to have taken place only a week or so before the events of the escape from Oba Diah. The story arc in which the escape takes place is set between Ahsoka Tano's trial and the Battle of Coruscant, both of which are dated to 19 BBY by Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, so this raid must take place in that year as well.
