Intaki Syndicate
Initially formed by exiles from the Gallente Federation during the Gallente-Caldari War, the Intaki Syndicate resides within its namesake region of Syndicate, bordering the federation. Over the course of the last century, the syndicate has slowly grown in stature, working to increase its political and financial capital to ensure it remains an important link between the core empires and the illegal elements found in the outer regions.
The settled planets and stations within the syndicate operate as autonomous, financially and politically independent entities, all of which cooperate on the basis of collective information sharing and provision of security. Although widely regarded as a pirate haven, the syndicate still maintains enough rule of law within its territories to allow almost anyone to pass through or travel for business. To this end, since empire policing within its borders has always been a relatively rare occurrence, the syndicate set up its own law enforcement arm in YC 72, branded as Intaki Space (ISP), to encourage prospective customers to travel without fear within its borders. Although rumored to be highly corrupt, this organization is ruthless when it comes to quelling unrest and is generally regarded as a heavy-handed but highly effective law enforcement entity.
As well as protecting trade routes, ISP also protects and guards the assets of the Intaki Bank, which has seen a boom in business since it opened its doors to public account holders and decided to keep the names and transactions of all account holders highly confidential. It remains widely known that hundreds of billions of dirty kredits pass through the Intaki banking system per month from black market trading and other illegal ventures, though it remains the general consensus of the syndicate that if they do not provide this service, someone else will.
The biggest account holder with the Intaki Bank by far remains Intaki Commerce, which handles the largest volume of black market transactions in New Eden. Intaki Commerce stations are often used as a neutral meeting ground where black market traders from the outer regions can meet merchants from empire space. Intaki Commerce, via the Intaki Space Police, provides security for these meetings, cutting a sizable profit from all transactions for the syndicate.
Unofficially run by a ruthless former Sister of EVE by the name of Silphy en Diabel, who returned to syndicate space to reclaim her father’s fortune, the syndicate remains the largest black market and money laundering organization in the cluster and is rumored to have dealings with every major outlaw organization in New Eden.

Intaki Commerce
The Syndicate is the biggest black market dealer in the world of EVE, a place where shady traders from the outer regions can meet merchants from empire space. Intaki Commerce handles these transactions, making a nice profit for the Syndicate.
Intaki Space Police
The Syndicate wants their space to be relatively trouble-free, so as to encourage people to visit and spend their money. With empire policing infrequent, they employ their own police force to enforce the peace.
