- "The Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Lina Soh, has come to Corellia…and it's our job to keep her safe. Her regular security team doesn't know the streets, the inner workings of Coronet City, the ins and outs of our particular Corellian brand of chaos."
- ―Alys Ongwa
Supreme Coronet City Diplomat Protection,[2] nicknamed Crash's crew,[3] was a security crew that operated out of Coronet City on Corellia and was led by the bodyguard Alys "Crash" Ongwa during the High Republic Era. It was previously led by Alys' mother, Baynoo Ongwa, before she retired and gave the business to Alys. Members included Barchibar, Fezzonk, Ovarto Bitolo-Bash, Prybolt Garavult, Tangor, Smeemarm, Tamo, and Ongwa's droid 10-K8.[2] When Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh visited Corellia, Ongwa's crew was tasked with protecting her.[1]
