- "We've heard disturbing reports from the black market. The Ashiga are willing to let the flow of commerce bring almost any kind of contraband into Kijimi. But not spice."
"Dangerous stuff. What do you want me to do?"
"Find the source of it and report back to us." - ―Ashiga myrmitrix to Kay Vess
A female Melitto myrmitrix and member of the Ashiga Clan operated on the Mid Rim planet Kijimi during the reign of the Galactic Empire.[1] By 3 ABY,[2] the clan had begun hearing reports of spice flowing into Kijimi City on the black market.[1]
Seeking to find the source of the spice the myrmitrix hired a scoundrel named Kay Vess in 3 ABY[2] to locate the source and how it was being smuggled. Vess eventually returned to the myrmitrix with an amulet bearing the insignia of the Spice Runners of Kijimi. Vess explained that the Pyke Syndicate had partnered with thespicerunners and were forcing local merchants to sell amulets which secret compartments containing spice. The myrmitrix promised to see to the issue immediantly and thanked Vess; promising her that the clan would not forget her assistance.[1]
Behind the scenes
The myrmitrix appeared as part of "The Real Black Market" intel quest in the 2024 video game, Star Wars Outlaws developed by Massive Entertainment and published by Ubisoft. They were identified that by the game's subtitles as simply "Ashiga Myrmitrix". Completeing the quest will result in an increase of the player's reputation with the Ashiga Clan and a decrease with the Pyke syndicate.[1]
