Need help naming a criminal organization

By Broopa, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

To get straight into it, I've started GMing a game for my friends and I need help naming the faction that's lead by the current BBEG my players are up against. I feel like every name I'm coming up with with is pretty lack luster, and I wanted some second opinions. The information for the faction is as follows:

  • The group is led by a female Zeltron named Dynni Dor. She's essentially a smuggler baron stated up abit.
  • Dor's goal is to track down a long lost treasure trove that's said to be worth more than that of most other criminal organizations combined. She, of course, plans to use this wealth to take over the criminal underworld, as any self respecting criminal leader would do.
  • As of right now, they're relatively small (maybe only around 600ish personal, and shouldn't get much bigger than that) and have been getting most of their man power by absorbing smaller factions they takes down (one of which the PC's did for them).
  • Dor originally hired the PC's to kill the leader of a rival gang on Nar Shadda, and while they were off doing that she stole their ship.
  • They're using a tatoo Dor has on her arm as their symbol (the one posted)

But yea, atm I've just been referring to them as "Dor's Gang" in my notes, and if push comes to shove that's definitely acceptable, but I feel that it could have a better name.

Something Drake (D o r/ Sn ake, but a Drake is a type of dragon, which plays into the whole treasure thing)

Void Drakes
Dynni's Drakes
Dor's Drakes

Edit: Death Drakes/Drakes of Death

Skull'n Snake ?

Judging by the symbol...

Death Eaters?

The Skullsnakes? (Or Skull Snakes?) ... The singular would be Skullsnake/Skull Snake.

dragonsnakes are a thing...

latest?cb=20101211034258

but these things are Nal Hutta based, doesn't seem very zeltrony.

so ... good luck? I'll mull over other suggestions

Just make her the next Dread Pirate Queen , and she can call her organization the Veiled Sorority.

Gang Names: (Color) (Noun). Blue Eels? Wait. Dread Eels?

Dread Drakes?

(sorry, I'm stuck on the alliteration)

Yep.

I'm preparing to wrestle a kinda difficult RP session this evening so my mental efforts are focused there. I don't have any suggestions, but of the suggestions given so far "Void Vipers" is my favorite.

My vote may count for nothing in this case but if I am nothing else, I AM a Subject Matter Expert on my own opinion.

How about; Dread Screaming Void Vipers ? :D

And you stayed at a Holiday in Express...

Some other related ideas:

Black Death

Black Fang

Black Serpent

Black Venom

Black Viper

Coiled Vipers

Dark Vengeance

Dark Vipers

Night Vipers

Order of the Serpent

Order of the Viper

Serpenta

Serpentis

Star Vipers

Vipera

Viper's Vengeance

You can attach Cartel, Organization or Syndicate to just about any of these as needed.

Fantastic Drastic Dreaded Droid Drakes.

Looking at the names, I think Coiled Vipers sparks my fancy, with Syndicate at the end, of course.

Thank you for helping my bad writing brain!

Outer Rim Asp Eaters

Why not go with something that's not English, but just sounds sinister? You can make up any nonsense alien word, like "Vesh Taal," and tell the PCs that it means something like "Void Syndicate" in whatever alien language it is based on. Kind of like "La Cosa Nostra" or the names of various real world criminal gangs.

Here's a list that might inspire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_criminal_enterprises,_gangs,_and_syndicates

One would need to enunciate this very carefully...
