    Hi. I finished reading Dark Empire/2/Emire's end a few weeks ago and IIRC there is a mention of Black Sun. I thought Black Sun was destroyed in Shadows of the Empire.?

    Xizor died, but that was not the end of Black Sun. They are still active as of the end of ROTJ as they have a part in the 'NOW' timeline of The Bounty Hunter Wars trilogy.

    Yeah, and Shadows of the Empire Evolution goes into a little more about Black Sun post-Shadows. Its still there, just the viggos are all squabbling and making power plays amongst each other for control.

    Palpatine says something in SOTE along the lines of Black Sun being a serpant- cut off the head and another will replace it.

    Black Sun was resurrected way too many times.

    It's tough to get rid of a huge organization like that. You cut out the leader, and there's no 100% chance that it won't regrow itself.

    Perhaps. But a criminal orginization that large is a little hard to destroy by taking down it's leader. And it was pretty clear that Black Sun was far larger than Jabba's orginization. As I recall, Black Sun was still around as of Crimson Empire II.

    Not that I've read them, but I'm sure I've heard that Black Sun were in either the YJK or the JJK books.

    The heads of the Black Sun people have been removed before, and the organization continued. Darth Maul was in charge of destroying some of the leaders before TPM, and BS is in the Medstar Books, several years afterwards.

    In SOTE Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando destroyed the current Black Sun headquarters; not the organization itself.
