History
Rise
Around Year -100 about 200 Vratix separated itself from the decaying Hive Mbraka and formed the Hive Squeegor. Because of their social cohesion and accepting anybody they grew to the fourth largest Hive on Thyferra counting around 2000 members. Until Year -80 the Hive accumulated wealth and huge territory in the northern regions. This was because they sold most of their produced Bacta to Foreigners.
Expulsion
With growing numbers the original spirit of the Hive (solidarity between it's members) faded and tension began to rise within the Hive. After several big turmoil's the Hive split up and only a small portion decided to call themselves Squeegor. Although the social cohesion in the Hive itself settled down, the other Hives didn't want to see them rising again. After several sabotages and battles the Hives council complied under public pressure to leave Thyferra. With the remaining wealth they bought some ships and left Thyferra forever.
Roaming
Until Year 12 the Hive lived on the Ships of their fleet offering their working power to anybody willing to pay for it. Most of their members worked in the Bacta Refinement and on Alazhi Farms while the main fleet roamed across the galaxy.
Disappearance
On Year 12 Day 336 the communication ship of the fleet (Dawn) sent out a distress call to the members working for customers. The message only gave away the current coordinates and that they were under attack. When the ships of the members later arrived only wrecks, corpses and very few survivors in escape pods were left. The remaining members picked up everything the could before they left to counsel on their future.
New beginning
Deciding about the future of the Hive the members held talks with serveral governments of the galaxy and decided, after 1 month of talks, that they will building up a new home on the planet Polordio II under New Republic protection. There a new city called Squeegor Refuge was built up which now serves as the home and working place for the Hive's members.
