The criminals are the underbelly found in every city. Often doing shady things in shady places. Talus is no different with several criminal organizations all trying to gain power in Talus's underworld. Their dealings can range from slaves to spice and they often start small brawls leaving nothing but destruction in their wake. Should one wish to find these criminals and gain their own foothold in the underworld the local bar or cantina is the best place to start.

Since the Droid War Zecora's family has gain a strong foothold in the Talus territory having been one of the few crime families to survive the onslaught from the Droid War. Zecora began to reestablish her crime family to one day compete with the power of the Hutts and one day own the Correllian System.
