Shortly afterward Tyranus arrived on Oba Diah with the intention of keeping the Jedi from discovering the truth behind Sifo-Dyas' demise. Lom told the Jedi they could have Silman in exchange for them turning a blind eye to them killing Sifo-Dyas. After admitting that the Pykes had indeed killed Sifo-Dyas, Lom introduced the Jedi Knights to Silman, whom the Pykes had kept in captivity as insurance against Tyranus. Later, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi arrived on Oba Diah, hot on the trail of Sifo-Dyas. Lom Pyke, leader of the Pykes, aims to kill Tyranus. 'Kill Tyranus!' ―Obi-wan Kenobi and Lom Pyke regarding Darth Tyranus ' Minister Lom, if you're going to help us, now is the time.' The Death Watch leader, Pre Vizsla, arrested Maul and assumed control over the planet. With the government of Mandalore unable to manage the crisis, Death Watch successfully took over Mandalore without any real resistance and locked up their opponents. For the Shadow Collective's next move, the Pykes staged a false flag attack on Mandalore, allowing Death Watch to intervene as so-called defenders of the people. The Pyke Syndicate then helped Maul attack Jabba the Hutt's Palace and force Jabba and Gorga the Hutt into joining them. The last Hutt, Oruba, was stoked into revealing the whereabouts of the other Hutts and killed by Savage Opress afterward. Along with Black Sun, they assisted Maul and Death Watch when they attempted to force the Hutt Clan into joining the Shadow Collective on Nal Hutta, where they attacked Gardulla the Hutt's Palace and forced all but one of the Hutts to flee to Jabba's Palace.

In 19 BBY, the Syndicate allied themselves with Maul and his Shadow Collective the Pykes were eager to join after Maul had coerced the Black Sun into joining the alliance. Years later, during the Clone Wars, the Pyke Syndicate gained control of the mining operations on the planet Kessel. Lom Pyke and the other Shadow Collective members plotting the takeover of Mandalore We come to join you.' ―Lom Pyke to Maul, leader of the Shadow Collective Clone Wars Joining the Shadow Collective As insurance against both the Jedi and Tyranus, the Pykes took Silman as a prisoner in the Pyke Palace on Oba Diah. At the behest of the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus, however, the Pykes killed Sifo-Dyas. Sometime later, Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum sent Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas and his aide Silman to engage the Pykes in negotiations with the Galactic Republic regarding the Pykes' monopoly on the spice trade.

Unable to respond to the Sith apprentice, the three remaining Pykes were cut down. Another shot down one of the droids, but as they were distracted, Maul pounced on them.

The four then found themselves flanked by four DRK-1 Dark Eye probe droids, which gunned down one of the Pykes. Maul and Kaitis drew their lightsabers and deflected their shots. The four soon encountered Kaitis and Maul traveling below them, and they opened fire. Lom sent his four Pykes down to hunt for the Padawan. She then had the Pykes and the other gangs pay in order to hunt Kaitis and her new captors. Xev learned of this and shot their ship down before it could escape the system. The event took a turn when Kra and his men were ambushed by Darth Maul and his team, who took Kaitis away. The Syndicate's leader, Lom Pyke, brought four of his men to the auction of Eldra Kaitis at Xev's hideout, but were not successful in winning the Padawan, who was bought for 2.5 million credits by Jee Kra. Their leader, Xev Xrexus, had her put up for auction, which caught the attention of the Pyke Syndicate and many other criminal organizations. Prior to the invasion of Naboo, the Xrexus Cartel captured a young Twi'lek Jedi Padawan called Eldra Kaitis from the wreckage of a crash that had killed the other Jedi Knights and personnel. The Pyke Syndicate attended the auction of Eldra Kaitis The Pyke operations on Kessel employed many slaves of different species, whom Tolsite was ruthless to. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Pykes' operations on Kessel were administered by capo Quay Tolsite along with his staff of droids. As well as spice, the Pyke Syndicate also extracted coaxium from Kessel. By the time of the Clone Wars, they were connected to the crime families of Coruscant. The Pykes were responsible for ensuring the flow of spice from Kessel to Coruscant, utilizing smugglers and freighter captains to carry out Kessel Runs to ensure spice deliveries.
