The Hutt Empire had been competing with the empire Xim had carved out in the Tion Cluster for control of the Si'Klaata Cluster for some time. The planet Vontor was the focal area of the cluster's control along the Hutt's route of invasion.
The battle
One battle had already been fought over the planet, but Xim was determined to try again.
Aftermath
The battle's indecisive conclusion led to the the hiring of Vodran, Nikto, and Weequay mercenaries by the Hutts, thus ensuring their victory over Xim at the Third Battle of Vontor.
