Amaxine warriors

"Well, I think it best that we don't rely on Hadrassian and the Amaxines as our exclusive go-betweens, don't you? After all, who knows what they may decide to keep from one or both of us."

- Rinnrivin Di, to Carise Sindian

The Amaxine warriors, also known as the Amaxines cartel or simply as the Amaxines, were an ancient group of fanatical religious warriors who shunned technology and eventually left the galaxy in biological starships to conquer a new galaxy. They re-emerged during the New Republic Era as a paramilitary group led by Arliz Hadrassian, and allied with the Di Cartel of Bastatha to covertly support the Centrist Party and the First Order.

Description
Existing long before the Fall of the Old Republic, the original Amaxine warriors were a group of religious fanatics who shunned technology. Like the Qella, their society made use of biotechnology and strange biological ships. By contrast, the later Amaxines under the leadership of Arliz Hadrassian used the weapons and training of the Imperial Royal Guard.

History
"This holocube and its contents would be useless to Hadrassian and her Amaxine warriors. It is...useless to those that she and I answer to, at least in the immediate term. But if it ever came to it, if Senator Organa ever became an existential threat to our Grand Plan, the evidence in this holocube would be invaluable to me as blackmail material."

- Lady Carise Sindian, to Rinnrivin Di on The Girls of Jabba's Palace

The ancient Amaxines were said to have fled the galaxy in their biological ships long before the Old Republic's fall, refusing to make peace with the galactic government and seeking a new galaxy to conquer.

During the New Republic Era, the Amaxines re-emerged under the leadership of former Imperial Security Bureau officer Arliz Hadrassian, based on Sibensko and ultimately answering to the First Order. They focused on covertly supporting the Centrist Party in the New Republic Senate, as part of the Centrist-led Project for the New Republic Century initiative. The Amaxine cartel was connected to the Niktos of Bastatha under Rinnrivin Di's Di Cartel. The Amaxines provided Di with billions of credits in start-up investment capital to grow his cartel and keep his rivals out of competition. In turn, Di supplied them with weapons to choke off their competition in the underworld and snuff out Populist Party activities on backrocket worlds. He spread his cartel to Adarlon, Elerion, Kaddak, and Aralia, and with the help of a few Amaxine warriors brought down the Daivik Triad on Ryloth.

Lady Carise Sindian met with Di to discuss an alliance, and obtained the holocube known as The Girls of Jabba's Palace, which she identified as potential blackmail material to hold against Senator Leia Organa, though believed it to be useless to the Amaxines. Sindian and Di agreed not to rely solely on Hadrassian's cartel as their go-betweens, believing that the Amaxines could keep information from either of them. Nonetheless, Rinnrivin hoped to consummate his alliance with Hadrassian as he had with Sindian.

Senator Organa dealt with the Amaxines' Nikto allies on Bastatha, where her status as the "Huttslayer" proved to her advantage.
