Well then I meant galactic underworld, and in my opinion if you have empires and civilizations that can cross the galaxy then naturally you would have crime syndicates. Criminals do not follow norms like lawful citizens do so regardless of how isolated you are, there is always the possibility of criminals who will use galactic space travel to make profits

That's...not how some nations work, specifically mine. The issue with the yul is that, while they do have high levels of trafficked contraband materials (mostly in the form of genemods and off-the-grid military-grade mechanical augmentations), actually making it into yul space while remaining undetected is a pipe dream at best and downright suicidal at worse. This is due to the fact that yul value their security, and have taken extensive measures to ensure their species' longevity in the wake of intergalactic imperialism and hostile xeno species by lacing their held territories with thousands of 'lurker drones' that run passive scanning routines, dyson swarms around stars that function as 'space denial systems' and a rather large amount of unmanned mobile military gun installations that run patrols throughout the systems that they are assigned to. 

As all of these measures maintain a constant linked network with one another, hiding and performing shady acts within a yul star system is rather folly, especially since the transferring of goods is done by pre-determined routes mapped out by an extensive wormhole gate network. 

Also, civilian or private firm spacecraft do not exist in the Yaren Axis. It's either government-controlled spacecraft or a drone freighter. Anything else is either a mining rig or something that doesn't belong, and things that do not belong there are usually tracked, asked to leave or outright destroyed (and then salvaged for parts).
