Kirata

Origin of the Name

The name Kirata originates within the language of the Ohanze, a species native to the Shoals. It means dishonorable renegade. In that regard it seems to be a fitting name for their criminal organization.

History

The Kirata are the largest remaining criminal organization that has not been either absorbed into or destroyed by the Black Talons, a splinter organization of the Orion Syndicate that operates within the Shoals.

Current Status

At this time they operate in the Alpha Quadrant with the center of their operations being the Shoals. Their network extends across almost every settled world within this region and even technically into areas claimed by the Klingon Empire. In fact Federation Intelligence knows that they now have the strongest criminal presence within this region. Unfortunately they also believe that their is a very strong possibility of a mob war developing as various factions within the organization move to take control.

While considered to be completely independent most experts believe that this organization is basically a sub-division of the Orion Syndicate, operating with their full knowledge, co-operation and recognition.
