- "These syndicates are like Jekaran sharks, and they can sense blood in the water."
- ―Domina Tagge, to Chelli Lona Aphra and Sana Starros
Jekaran sharks[2] were a species of shark native to the waters of the Mid Rim[1] ice[3] planet Jekara,[1] where they were able to sense blood.[2] In 3 ABY,[4] Lady Domina Tagge of the Tagge Corporation sent the rogue archaeologist Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra and the smuggler Sana Starros to gather information on the resurgent Crimson Dawn[2] criminal syndicate[3] and other Tagge Corporation competitors at an upcoming auction hosted by Crimson Dawn[2] on Jekara.[3] Tagge warned the two of the other syndicates, comparing them to Jekaran sharks.[2]
