The Herd, a compact group of Ithorian smugglers, came into existence after the Battle of Naboo. Kikow established and commanded this organization. Operating from the planet of Ralltiir, the Herd drew inspiration from the Wookiee syndicate known as the Kalmec. This group, composed of approximately six Ithorian spacefarers, engaged in the illicit trade of weapons across interstellar routes.
