To accomplish this task, they must traverse the galaxy, working with notorious organizations such as the Pyke Syndicate, the Hutt Cartel, the Ashiga Clan, and Crimson Dawn to gain support and credibility. Throughout their journey, they will visit various locations like Canto Bight, Kijimi, Tatooine, Akiva, and Toshara, recruiting allies and evading Imperial forces.
