Zerek Besh was one of the galaxy's great crime families during the reign of the Galactic Empire.[4] After the Hutt Clan attacked the Executor, the flagship of Darth Vader[1] between 3 ABY and 4 ABY,[5] Zerek Besh were approached by Crimson Dawn, who claimed that Emperor Palpatine wanted to end the Empire's partnership with the Hutts as a result of their attack, and that Zerek Besh could win favor of Palpatine and enter a partnership with the Empire.[1] Believing the offer, Zerek Besh then fought in[4] the Syndicate War[1] against the Hutt Clan, Droid Gotra, Pyke Syndicate, and Black Sun.[4] Sometime later, a contact of Imperial Security Bureau Director Barsha within Zerek Besh informed the director of Crimson Dawn's claims.[1]
Months after the war had started, the criminal organizations involved in the war were contacted by Palpatine, who informed them that they had been lied to by Crimson Dawn. He then instructed the groups to stop fighting each other, and instead turn their attention to fighting Crimson Dawn and its leader, Lady Qi'ra. The Emperor then informed them that whichever of the criminal organizations brought him her corpse would rise high in his estimations.[4]
