Darth Jar Jar Dealings

What is The Palo Syndicate?

First, "Palo" (Gungan for "friend") is the underground alias used by Jar Jar Binks to run his criminal organization across the galaxy from his comfortable Senate seat in Coruscant.

The Palo Syndicate is a ring of criminals, bosses and warlords who conduct business beneath the Republic (and later, the Imperial) radar.

Palo's proxy, a HK-47 assassin droid named Meatbag, handles collections and is considered to be the "face" of The Palo Syndicate since very few people have ever met Palo, and even fewer have lived to tell about it.

While the majority of The Palo Syndicate members are unknown, a few notable characters are the con artist duo Dannl Faytonni and Achk Med-Beq, the bounty hunter Djas Puhr and the galaxy-renowned Hutt cartel leader Jabba Desilijic Tiure.


Why a subreddit when there's already...?

Think of this as an overflow from /r/DarthJarJar where members can freely discuss The Palo Syndicate and DJJ's adventures without prying eyes and Imperial entanglements.

Writing a Fic based on the Paloverse featuring several imperial buisness partners being controlled by Palo...I want to know if this can be included in the Paloverse of if this should be it's own side continuity...

So, I am in the process of making my own DJJ stuff and had an idea I wanted to run by you all for inclusion in the Palo-verse. While we know Palo was working the criminal works, I think Jar Jar would still want eyes on the empire. So, I was thinking..with most of the canon on Seinar technologies, and in particular it's subsidiary Seinar Fleet Systems being thrown out the window I got a fic idea focused on Seinar in which DJJ/Palo would be revealed as the company's majority shareholder and a business partner of the empire.

With Achk-Med Bek and the Syndacate being active well before the birth of the empire, the story I have planned states that Palo/DJJ during the last days of the republic bought out several companies from the desperate, bankrupt intergalactic banking clan, including Seinar, using the insider info he had that Palpy would inevitably seize control of the clan to convince the shareholders of those companies to sell their shares to a shell company he had created that he would then sell them a stake in for a grossly low price, protecting their ability to make a profit and stopping their assets from being seized by the future empire in the inevitable banking clan takeover

As a result, when Palpy seized the banking clan, Seinar and many other companies where already under Palo's control. Using his senator jar jar identity, DJJ personally brokered the deals between the Empire and "Palo's" companies that allowed the empire to "seize" them. The empire would possess more shares than Palo or any other individual shareholder, but Palo/DJJ would have literal control of enough secondary shareholders that between himself and his pawns in the companies, he had more votes than the empire and thus could maintain control of company affairs while creating the illusion that the empire was in charge.

The fic I'm planning focuses on a group of pilots who are being sent to "field test" new Seinar tech for the empire (Such as the infamous TIE fighters) by the Seinar company without realizing these test missions are in fact hits against enemies of Palo whom the syndicate has framed as rebel sympathizers/benefactors. (and the subsequent drama when the truth comes out.) The fic also reveals that DJJ/Palo has been training force-sensitives to act as his pragmatic agents that are, like the empire's inquisitors, not sith or a part of any other dogmatic dark side order. (One of whom is the current CEO of Seinar and the one overseeing the field tests)...but that's besides the point.

So, before I write this I want to know if you guys want this element in the paloverse or if it should be it's own side continuity? Post your thoughts here! Also, this is a mobile post so please excuse any typos/grammar errors.
