As the title says I'm looking for some names of the most infamous pirates in Star Wars history.

Though the needed to have morals - preferably only targeting the rich, the corrupt, or those who attack without morals.

I know Nym had morals. But I also know there were others I can't remember.

I just saw one famous pirate in one of the Galaxy Guides as I was looking through it yesterday at work, but today that book is at home.

I know that one of the Instant Adventures modules had a Falleen pirate leader named Xishel.

Now that I'm at home, I can verify (from Galaxy Guide 9: Fragments from the Rim) the following additional pirates:

There's the human pirate leader Jacob Nive and Dharus, (unknown race, orange-brown skin with glowing red eyes and a great illustration) a humanoid privateer. I don't know how famous or infamous either of them are.

OP... Why do you need names from preexisting characters? Any reason you just don't want to make your own?

I've been working on a nautolan pirate lord, but haven't developed him much yet. He's a villain I've been hinting at throughout the story arch, but haven't introduced him yet. He's the leader of an inter-system pirate band called the Red Hand. He has a prosthetic arm that is inspired by a crab claw and a Warhammer 40K power fist.

But... he doesn't have morals. He's a dirty villain, through and through.

The mention of the Nautolan pirate reminded me of an existing EU pirate who was largely remembered for his heroics:
