Although the city is largely protected from the local fauna, the most common predator one might typically find in Negav is the criminal type. Being a city that regularly receives a large influx of adventurers, a good number of them are shady people, well armed, with questionable morality and prone to violence. You can find many con artists in Negav, or smugglers selling illegal or fake goods. Others may come to get involved within the Black Market or the assassination business, which are both big, since Negav connects dozens of important worlds. In its poorest and most violent districts, where streets are dark and narrow, one's life expectancy don't go much higher at night than, say the calmer parts of the Felaryan jungle.

The NPD tries hard to keep the streets clean, but Negav's criminals are typically well organized and hardened. You can find many veterans or former mercenaries among them, adventurers of all sort who felt into disparity or, for whatever reason, take up a life of crime as well trained and resourceful individuals. For the police force, maintaining order in places like Cremona maze and the Underground is especially nightmarish. Walking in those areas leaves oneself at the risk of being robbed, pick-pocketed, kidnapped, or worse if they have done something to stir the anger of the wrong crime lord.

Naturally, Many malefactors chose to associate with others to form gangs in order to grow stronger and to be able to expand the scope of their activities and their reach, becoming an organization.

The size of those organizations varies widely as well from a few individuals gathering in a member's home to huge groups of dozens of members with their own hideout, complete with a safehouse, training grounds, gathering halls, prisons and secret passages. Some of those groups have grown very powerful and have developed unofficial links with the authorities for bribing, "smoothing things out" and looking the other way or information trading.Many of them tend to specialize in one type of crime.

Sometimes the line between the legal and the illegal can be rather blurry in Negav and some seemingly respectable business might have a less savory side beneath the surface.
