The '''Hutts''' were a [[Sentience/Legends|sentient]] [[Species/Legends|species]] of large gastropods<ref name="EGTAS" /> with short arms, wide cavernous mouths and huge eyes, who controlled a [[Hutt Domain|large space empire]] in [[Hutt Space/Legends|Hutt Space]]. The species was said to originally hail from the [[Planet/Legends|planet]] [[Varl/Legends|Varl]], but no planet by that name appeared on any [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Imperial]] star charts. Their adopted [[Homeworld/Legends|homeworld]] was [[Nal Hutta/Legends|Nal Hutta]]. Members of this species were often stereotyped as [[Crime lord/Legends|crime lords]].

==Biology and appearance==
===Physiology===
{{Quote|Hutts are all backside.|[[Eli Gand]]|<ref name="Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic">''[[Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic]]''</ref>}}
[[File:GargonnBrain-SWREP18.png|thumb|left|180px|The cranial cavity of [[Gargonn]] the Hutt]]
In appearance, a Hutt was an immense [[Slug (creature)/Legends|slug]]-like creature that had a thick body with a long muscular tail with small arms located on the upper body.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> The large body had a bulbous head at the top. Hutts' appendages allowed them to manipulate their environment to a limited degree. The entire base of their body served as a creeping slow foot, enabling them to slither across their environment in a manner similar to that of a slug, though some Hutts grew so large that they became immobile.<ref name="GG4:AR">''[[Galaxy Guide 4: Alien Races]]''</ref>

Hutts had no [[Skeleton/Legends|skeleton]] but instead had an internal mantle which supported and shaped their head.<ref name="NEGTAS">''[[The New Essential Guide to Alien Species]]''</ref> Young Hutts tended to have a uniform light [[Color/Legends|tan]] skin and lacked greenish pigmentation on their spine that went down their tail as they aged.<ref name="THG">''[[The Hutt Gambit]]''</ref> A Hutt's skin was perhaps its greatest defense as the epidermis was able to resist all but the most corrosive of chemical substances. Sweat made of oil and mucus made a Hutt difficult to grasp as its body was slippery to hold. Should anyone manage to grab hold of the body or manage to puncture the skin, heavy layers of blubber and muscle protected the vital organs from harm.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> In addition, the slimy coating of sweat and mucus protected them from either chemical burns or heat.<ref name="NEGTAS" /> Hutts were resistant to many poisons and diseases and seldom fell ill.<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars">''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars (novelization)]]''</ref> It was also claimed that [[Sarlacc/Legends|sarlaccs]] were incapable of digesting Hutts. As a result, [[Sarlacc/Legends|sarlaccs]] forcibly expelled Hutts instead of eating them. This trait saved some Hutts from death.<ref name="QotE">''[[Queen of the Empire]]''</ref> Their body odor was noted for being strong enough to upset a sensitive human stomach.<ref name="THG" />

Their bulbous heads had two enormous reptilian [[eyes]]<ref name="GG4:AR" /> that were sometimes compared to those of a feline<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> and protruded from the surface of their face.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> As members of their kind grew fatter, these eyes tend to be hidden beneath folds of leathery skin. Younger Hutts lacked this feature and thus had slightly more protruding eyes compared to their older kin.<ref name="THG" /> Blinking their eyes and passing the nictitating membrane in slow deliberation was considered the equivalent of raising a sarcastic eyebrow.<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars" /> Beneath their wide nostrils and upturned nose was a broad lipless mouth<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> that spread from one earhole to the other.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> Similar to serpents, to which they were compared,<ref name="GG4:AR" /> Hutts were able to open their jaws to miraculous widths that allowed them to devour almost anything<ref name="Hutt" /> and were even able to consume a grown humanoid.<ref name="JH:TDT">''[[Jabba the Hutt: The Dynasty Trap]]''</ref> A specialized radula located deep within their throats allowed them to shred food in preparation for digestion.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> Although not common, Hutts were able to be [[The Force/Legends|Force]]-sensitive. They had the ability to see [[Ultraviolet/Legends|ultraviolet]] light<ref name="The Clone Wars Visual Guide">''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Visual Guide]]''</ref><ref name="TCWCE">''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia]]''</ref> that was invisible to [[Human/Legends|Humans]] and most alien species.<ref name="ZHR">''[[Zorba the Hutt's Revenge]]''</ref> Often, wealthy Hutts lit their palaces in these spectra of light, giving intruders, or at least those without similar abilities or compensating equipment, a false sense of stealth.{{Fact}}

Hutts were physiological anomalies as they possessed traits from many different species. Similar to sea mammals, their nostrils could close and their large lungs allowed them to stay submerged underwater for hours at a time. Like worms, they had multiple sex organs and utilized hermaphroditic [[Reproduction/Legends|reproduction]].<ref name="EGTAS" /> They needed no partner to produce a [[Youngling|child]]: [[Jabba Desilijic Tiure/Legends|Jabba the Hutt's]] son [[Rotta/Legends|Rotta]] was his, and ''only'' his.<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars" /> However, some Hutts, like [[Gorga's son]]<ref name="Murder Most Foul">''[[Boba Fett: Murder Most Foul]]''</ref> and [[Ziro Desilijic Tiure/Legends|Ziro Desilijic Tiure]], had two [[Parent/Legends|parents]], a mother and a father.<ref name="HFZ">{{TCW|Hunt for Ziro}}</ref> Hutts selected their own [[Gender/Legends|genders]] at will. The average Hutt possessed a notably healthy sexual appetite, even for members of other species.<ref name="NEGTAS" />

Hutts had the marsupial trait of bearing their young one at a time and nourishing them in a [[brood pouch]] in the body.<ref name="EGTAS" /> Despite these many characteristics, they were generally classified as gastropods by scientists due to their reproductive process and slithering, slug-like manner of their movement.<ref name="EGTAS" /> The lack of any legs meant that the species slithered across their environments<ref name="Allies">''[[Fate of the Jedi: Allies]]''</ref> with their tails capable of being used as weapons to bludgeon their enemies to death.<ref name="JH:TDT" /> Whilst this was the case, Hutts were not known for their mobility, and required smooth surfaces to navigate their environment; things such as carpets or upholstery served as obstacles to the layer of slime generated by their bodies when moving.<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars" /> Their slimy hides were typically hairless, though an exceptionally small percentage were known to grow both locks and beards due to the presence of a recessive genetic trait. While this made them distinctive to non-Hutts, they were seen with distaste and considered a type of mutant among their race.<ref name="HHH">''[[Hutt! Hutt! Hutt!]]''</ref>

[[File:MamatheHutt2-HFZ.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Mama/Legends|Mama]], a more corpulent Hutt than average.]]
Perhaps most remarkably of all, Hutts could even regenerate body parts when injured.<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars" /> Some time prior to [[32 BBY/Legends|32 BBY]], a Hutt known as [[Gargonn]] lost half his head, including an eye and apparently a sizable part of his brain, when he was ravaged by a [[wandrella]], yet it was anticipated that he would regenerate the injured tissue completely after a century or so. It is not known if the regeneration of his brain had any effect on his mind or personality. Some Hutts, such as [[Quaffug]], were believed to possess multiple brains, though whether this was a species-wide trait was unknown.<ref name="TBH:SW">''[[The Bounty Hunters: Scoundrel's Wages]]''</ref> Certain Hutts were vulnerable to a rare wasting disease that kept them underweight.<ref name="Dn">[[Darksaber (novel)|''Darksaber'']]</ref> Hutts sometime developed gallstones.<ref name="TOR Item">Companion Gift "Fossilized Hutt Gallstone" in ''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic]]''</ref>

Hutt skin color varied; while Jabba the Hutt had green, oily skin, [[Durga Besadii Tai|Durga]] the Hutt had orange, [[Borvo]] the Hutt had blue, and [[Ziro Desilijic Tiure/Legends|Ziro]] the Hutt had purple.

===Life cycle===
{{Quote|I am&hellip;with Huttlet.|[[Anachro]]|<ref name="Murder Most Foul" />}}
[[File:Rotta.jpg|thumb|left|200px|[[Rotta/Legends|Rotta the Huttlet]].]]
The ability of Hutts to self-impregnate<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> was suspected by some Hutts to have developed due to their race's very low fertility rate, which was possibly a consequence of damage following the loss of their original homeworld of Varl.<ref name="Scourge">[[Scourge (novel)|''Scourge'']]</ref> As a result of this, gender was more of a case of a Hutt's deliberate decision or a viewer's deduction. Often, Hutts carrying children were referred to as female, though it was entirely up to the Hutt in question as to if the distinction was accepted or not. For instance, [[Jiliac Desilijic Tiron|Jiliac]] was referred to as a female after becoming pregnant, but [[Popara Anjiliac Diresto|Popara]] and Zorba still considered themselves males after birthing their respective children. In addition, some Hutts were known to take mates with each other, such as [[Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo/Legends|Gorga]] and [[Anachro]]. Hutts bore their children one at a time and nourished them within what was known as a brood pouch.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" />

Unusually for a species so far from humanoid, several Hutts have been known to find female humanoids attractive sometimes in a sexual manner, in something similar to art appreciation, as status symbols, or for reasons completely beyond Human understanding. Jabba the Hutt was the most notable example of this. Another was [[Vogga]] the Hutt, an entrepreneur who had resided on Nar Shaddaa in the years following the Jedi Civil War. Other examples included Borvo, [[Dreddon]], [[Soergg Vosadii Bezhin|Soergg]], [[Golga Besadii Fir|Golga]], Popara, [[Suudaa Nem'ro|Nem'ro]], and Ziro.

When Hutts were born, they weighed less than 100&#32;grams and after birth they lived life as tiny blind creatures that clawed their ways instinctively towards the brood pouch. Once inside, they began to feed on [[Milk/Legends|milk]] and remained there for the next fifty standard years. Upon emergence, they weighed 70 kilograms and measured a meter from head to tail where they had the intellectual level of a ten-year-old Human.<ref name="Hutt" /> However, this was not biologically necessary; Jabba the Hutt had his son [[Rotta/Legends|Rotta]] removed from the brood pouch when he was, at most, ten years old, so that he could experience the galaxy. Jiliac's child also proved able to live outside the pouch, requiring his Uncle Jabba to squish and kill it in order to guarantee his rule of the Hutt clan [[Desilijic/Legends|Desilijic]]. Newborn Hutts, also known as Huttlets, would stay close to their parents for decades, returning to their pouches when they were tired, lonely or scared. Other Hutts were sometimes known to kill them in fear of future competition. Young Hutts matured to adulthood by 200 years whereupon they weighed 500 kilograms and were about the size of a normal adult Human.<ref name="Hutt" /> Prior to this point, they were not considered important nor accountable for their actions.

During the course of their lives, the Hutt's bodies grew constantly, which meant that older members of their kind were able to reach enormous proportions.<ref name="Scourge" /> The Hutts were known to produce lengthy lifespans; [[Zorba Desilijic Tiure]] was said to have experienced a 45-year prison sentence in the blink of an eye.<ref name="HHH" /> Hutts were able to reach over a thousand years in age,<ref name="Allies" /> and were considered one of the longest-lived species in the galaxy.<ref name="EGTAS" /> They were capable of living in excess of 926 years of age at which point they were considered venerable by their fellow Hutts. For their kind, childhood ranged between the ages of 1-70 and they were considered a young adult by 71-90 whilst they were seen as a full adult in the years between 91-650. Middle age began between 651-844 and an elderly Hutt was 845-925 years of age.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> A Hutt named [[Zirchros]] lived to be 1,700 years old.<ref name="Memoirs of a Crimelord">{{TORcite|type=crewskill|Archaeology|Memoirs of a Crimelord}}</ref>

{{Quote|Let them marvel at our splendor ... let them cringe in our power ... let them feel the weight of our chains as they serve their rightful masters.|Jabba Desilijic Tiure|<ref name="GG11">[[Galaxy Guide 11: Criminal Organizations]]</ref>}}
Their thinking was described as not being the same as humans. In fact, it was claimed that they felt threatened on a subliminal level. This fear they experienced meant that many Hutts tended to be paranoid, a trait some attempted to exploit.<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars" /> Other typical traits among the Hutts were intelligence, selfishness, and manipulative behavior.<ref name="Allies" /> The Hutts were famous for being powerful and ruthless beings that constantly sought to expand the boundaries of their dominion and the holdings of their individual clans. Their appetite for power was as insatiable as their appetite for food. They were often found at the center of business or criminal enterprises. The question of morality or lack thereof did not affect a Hutt during their ventures. All that mattered from such ventures was how much benefit and profit were gained. The majority of Hutts were vicious megalomaniacs who considered their kind to be above the morality that was perceived by lesser beings. They held a talent for accumulation of power and its exertion of it on others along with the manipulation of other beings.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> Hutts did not try to justify their criminal actions as doing so was a sign of hypocrisy which was not part of their way. Instead, they did everything as part of their laws and customs without pretending that they were bastions of morality.<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars" /> Furthermore, they were noted for holding a twisted sense of humor. Flattery was seen as one of the best policies when dealing with Hutts as it was considered unwise to earn their enmity. According to them, the Hutts were known for their generosity and beneficence towards lower lifeforms that served them ably.<ref name="THG" />

Hutts were aware of the fact that their kind were disliked and knew of how [[Imperial officer/Legends|Imperial officers]] were amused when the slug-like race spoke about their original homeworld of [[Varl/Legends|Varl]]. According to such individuals, no [[Alien/Legends|Alien]] creature of good breeding could be born of [[Varl/Legends|Varl]] and even [[Grand Moff/Legends|Grand Moffs]] commented on how they viewed Hutts as being an immoral, nasty, domineering and power hungry species. Some Hutts viewed such attitudes as insults and lies as they saw themselves as being a proud people who were generous to their own kind even if they were cruel. Furthermore, they expected everyone to treat them with respect.<ref name="ZHR" /> Despite this being the case, many of the traits seen amongst crime lords were embodied by the Hutts as they were ambitious, ruthless, greedy and had a massive ego. This meant that many citizens throughout the galaxy believed that all Hutts were involved in a life of crime which stemmed largely from their reputation that most Hutts foster as well as appreciate.<ref name="TotG">"[[Threats of the Galaxy]]</ref> Many traditional concepts that were deemed as criminal actions by other civilizations were seen as professions according to Hutt thinking. As such, the term ''"criminal"'' did not translate well into the Hutt language as it tended to describe all Hutts.<ref name="SoT">"[[Secrets of Tatooine]]</ref> In fact, human crimes held no meaning to the Hutts which was why they were seen as criminals as there was no common grounds on morality.<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars" />

Hutt [[crime lord]]s despised physical labor and combat, preferring to leave such duties to their hired thugs or their slaves. This does not necessarily mean that Hutts were unarmed as they tended to keep weapons but only in emergencies when events spiraled out of their control. Such actions demonstrate that Hutts tended to prefer their actions to be conducted by their proxies and rarely ever leave the safety of their strongholds. Any foes that seek to fight a Hutt crime lord had to do so under their enemy's own terms, thus facing traps, barriers and various minions. In addition, Hutts tend to show an interest in acquiring dangerous animals to serve as pets and used them as amusement by sending their enemies against the creature whilst the crime lords sycophants observed.<ref name="TotG" /> Those that encountered Hutts claimed that there was no way to reason with their kind with the only way of beating them was by way of trickery or outsmarting them or wounding their pride.<ref name="ZHR" />

[[File:Chair11.jpg|thumb|left|250px|[[Aarrba]]'s [[power chair]].]]
The longevity of the Hutts meant that they were intelligent beings that were well-known for their well-developed patience, along with a willingness to hold grudges over long periods of time as they were able to live for centuries.<ref name="GG11" /> In fact, all ruthless Hutts were claimed to have lived by the law of revenge and their kind did not allow the death of their children to go unavenged. This was to such an extent that once a Hutt made an enemy then they did not retreat unless they were killed.<ref name="ZHR" /> The concept of getting even with their enemies was an ingrained concept within their civilization. In fact, some claimed that if it were not for the thrill of getting vengeance, then every Hutt would simply die of boredom.<ref name="QotE" /> In addition, they were highly self-centered though they were capable of valuing others, particularly fellow clan members, when they were conducting important and dangerous tasks. Though extremely competitive with one another, all Hutts believed that they held a special place in the galaxy as they were superior beings compared to other life forms.<ref name="GG11" /> Huttlets, when they grew to adulthood, often gained corpulence which was a trait that was seen as a sign of prestige and power. As such, the bigger the Hutt, the more power it acquired, not only from its peers, but from non-Hutts as well.<ref name="EGTAS" /> Those of their kind that were underweight were thus treated with disgust and scorn such as those suffering from waste diseases who were treated as lowly slaves.<ref name="Dn" /> Within Hutt society, those rare individuals that were capable of growing hair on their bodies were considered mutants and were seen with rarely-disguised disgust.<ref name="HHH" />

Due to physiological nature, Hutt designs tended to utilize ramps as they were unable to make use of stairs. Similarly, their anatomy prevented them from sitting on a normal seat and they instead reclined by a dinner table. Some Hutts made use of anti-grav [[Hoversled/Legends|hoversleds]] even if they were able to move under their own power. However, some Hutts grew so corpulent that they were unable to move their own bodies.<ref name="THG" /> Hutts often were planted on their thrones or seats in their later years. More agile Hutts slithered or walked, using muscles on their belly to push forward. Other Hutts would often, if going anywhere, ride a hoversled. They also had [[power chair]]s, which were for the more immovable Hutts, such as Aarrba. Some of the most successful Hutts had [[Sail barge/Legends|sail barges]]. They were often used for the Hutt's personal luxury if going somewhere or supervising executions.

===Slavery and indentured services===
[[File:Popara.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Slaves tending to their Hutt master.]]
{{Quote|What's meant by 'servitude' anyway? Is that polite code for 'slavery'?" <br /> "It can be. It can be whatever the Hutts want it to mean.|[[Ben Skywalker]] and [[Kelkad]]|<ref name="Allies" />}}
Though seen as illegal in other parts of the galaxy, [[Slavery/Legends|slavery]] was a lucrative business and accepted practice amongst the Hutts who saw the owning of slaves as a symbol of status.<ref name="SoT" /> Hutts were rarely encountered alone as they tended to be surrounded by entertainers, supplicants and sycophants.<ref name="TF">''[[Tempest Feud]]''</ref> Their species rarely left their homeworld of [[Nal Hutta/Legends|Nal Hutta]] without first gathering a group of retainers and attendants. Many of these tended to be slaves which were a major import on Nal Hutta. Others were simply employees and some were inferior creatures that hoped to gain some form of profit by being within the presence of a Hutt. Retainers to a Hutt were extremely loyal to their master which was maintained through a perverse web of hate, fear and affection.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> Thus, their kind were known to have employed several skilled bodyguards with many species fulfilling this role.<ref name="TF" /> Hutts were not above the practice of slavery with many of their kind keeping such individuals as ''"pets"'' that were a sign of prestige and power.<ref name="GG11" /> It was believed that one of the reasons they took humanoid species as slaves who were so different that they could not find them attractive was to serve as a statement to outsiders. This subtle statement being that the Hutt in question owned everything their visitors desired and thus had power over them.<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars" />

A time-honored tradition amongst the Hutts was the availability of large quantities of cheap labor through [[indentured servitude]]. This was because they saw large-scale slave labor as economically impractical. Several factors that contributed to this were the disciplinary problems, lack of motivation, rebellions and other issues associated with forced labor, all of which negatively impacted a Hutt's cherished profit margin. Thus, those who willingly entered into such conditions for long periods of time were seen as a better alternative. Given the choice between the Hutt courts and indentured servitude, many chose the latter. As a result, each year, thousands of beings on Hutt worlds entered into contracts with the Hutts under a condition of indenture. These indentured had their personal rights temporarily suspended, with respect to freedom of movement and assembly, choice of occupation, along with the right to enter into contract, all of which were seen as major considerations. The stipulated period of an indenture was typically six months to ten years, where the Hutt's clan holds the valuable contract of the indentured being. Other Hutts, Hutt businesses or even non-Hutts were allowed to cover the price of a contract.<ref name="GG11" />

[[File:Hutts-lg.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Hutts and their servants]]
These individuals were bound to serve anyone who held the contract, often being compensated paltry amounts for their service. Once the contract was up, and the indentured party's duty complete, they were released from the contract as per the agreement. Hutt law prohibited the use of indentured labor in circumstances that were proven to be unsafe. Further provisions were added that theoretically protected an indentured party and defined proper treatment. Practically speaking, the matter was far from settled, with a multitude of provisions allowing for extension of contract time and the levying of fines against indentured servants who ''"violated"'' the terms of their agreement. Naturally, these fines needed to be paid in full in order for the indentured party to be legally free. Work sites employing indentured labor were commonly inspected at the manager's private estate, often during a sumptuous dinner. Regardless of the true conditions of the work environment, the indentured parties were expected to work without complaint, however this was defined in their contract. These contract holders were well within their rights to appoint local managers to enforce the letter of the law. This often involved using any means deemed necessary to keep the workers in-line, with the indentured servant holding no right to appeal.<ref name="GG11" />

One of the long standing traditions was the use of tracking devices implanted into the bodies of slaves. This was to ensure that such property did not escape, and involved the activation of a small explosive if the slave went beyond the range of the tracking transmitter.<ref name="SoT" />

===Society===

{{Quote|If not us, then someone else. So why not us?|Traditional Hutt saying|<ref name="GG11" />}}
To the Hutts, blood was thicker than slime with loyalty to their clans being considered paramount. Much of their decisions were based on how it prospered the clan and affected its position. It was through ancestral fortunes that were passed from one generation to another that had allowed some Hutt clans to control the richest holdings in the galaxy. The clans in turn controlled the criminal empires known as the [[Kajidic/Legends|kajidics]]. On certain occasions, these groups can be even more powerful than the ruling council. This was because those kajidics that were powerful monetarily controlled the politics in Hutt society. In addition, the kajidics were both secretive and vast.<ref name="EGTAS" /> The strongest loyalty held by a Hutt was always towards its kajidic without which a Hutt would be considered nothing more than a commoner.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> Hutts were infamous for their inter-clan rivalries that often led to starport skirmishes or brushfire wars amongst the various servitor species.<ref name="SES">''[[Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook]]''</ref> This was one aspect within the Hutt's nature as they tended to try to resolve problems within the family. However, their long lifespan and nature meant that death by natural causes was an unlikely occurrence.<ref name="Scourge" />

Hutt naming structure was divided into three parts, with the first being their personal name and the name by which they were known to outsiders. The second part of their name was the [[Cuirvas]] which identified their clan. The third and final component of a Hutt's name was a mystery to scholars with some uncertainty over its nature as so few were known. Some believed it identified the family the Hutt belonged to whilst others contended that it was an honorary title used to convey some measure of importance from one Hutt to another. Regardless, a Hutt revealed only their first name to non-Hutts with such acts being seen as a method by which a Hutt attempted to ''"protect"'' their clan from ''"inferior outsiders"''.<ref name="GG11" /> Thus, their naming convention consisted of a given name supported by a clan name and finally a surname. Notable examples included Jabba Desilijic Tiure and Borga Besadii Diori. However, few outside Hutt society were aware of various Hutts' proper names and commonly replaced the clan and surname with "the Hutt", as in "Jabba the Hutt" or "Gardulla the Hutt," although it is doubtful the Hutts minded. Hutts were furthermore divided into castes, including [[H'uun]]s.

Notable for being a very egocentric species, Hutts on their homeworld believed themselves to be the center of the universe, akin to deities to some of their subject races. In fact, their survival after the destruction of their homeworld of Varl led them to believe that they were greater than the gods that they had once worshiped.<ref name="NEGTAS" /> This belief in surviving the death of their gods meant that Hutts tended to think themselves as suitable replacement for those deities and that everyone and everything else was expendable.<ref name="Scourge" /> Their success in life was directly proportionate to their egos, which in turn were known to be immense.<ref name="NEGTAS" /> This was to the point that the Hutt language did not hold a word that translated to mean ''"thank you"'' with the closest approximation being ''"Your services will be rewarded."''<ref name="Scourge" /> In addition, they were known to be highly manipulative creatures and considered experts in getting others to do their bidding. This made them act like galactic brokers who made deals and manipulated the economy with calculated power plays and strategies.<ref name="NEGTAS" /> Hutts had a reputation of lacking social skills.<ref name="BL">{{GamerCite|7|Bartyn's Landing (article)|Bartyn's Landing}}</ref> This led to bad relations between them and the [[Bothan/Legends|Bothans]] as both were natural competitors to one another. As a result, it was difficult for a Bothan to trust a Hutt due to the professional rivalry between the two races.<ref name="Scourge" />

[[File:Kaltho_the_Hutt_JoY.png|thumb|left|250px|Kaltho, a wealthy Hutt owner of many businesses, both legal and illicit.]]
Their race held their own set of rules and laws which members of their kind followed. Among these included the law that any property given to a Hutt's child after their imprisonment had to be re-sold with their improvements to the parent at the original price. They also possessed their own courts which were used to determine the legality of wills left behind by deceased Hutts and declaring which were genuine and which were fraudulent.<ref name="HHH" /> The Hutt legal system was notable for being traditionally draconian and maintained strict punishments for loan defaulters, union organizations and similar ''"scum"''.<ref name="GG11" /> One of the laws invoked by the Hutts in acts of retribution included the [[First Blood-Law of Evona]].<ref name="SWTOR">''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic]]''</ref> [[Hutt Commercial Laws]] were also present to provide guidelines for actions amongst the ''kajidics''.<ref name="HS">"[[Hutt and Seek]]</ref> Even the rare Hutt weddings were considered little more than business arrangements made between two Hutts and were not done so for pleasure though there were the occasional moments when two members of the race genuinely felt love for one another.<ref name="HHH" /> In terms of currency, the Hutts had used [[Trugut/Legends|truguts]] in the past that were commonly accepted on worlds controlled by them.<ref name="SoT" /> It was also common practice during conflict resolution to resort to a kajidic convention, economic pressure, intimidation or even assassination.<ref name="btr">{{WizardsCite|url=starwars/article.asp?x=sw20020411crise&c=rpg|text=Before the Rise|int=Before the Rise|archivedate=20091130233347}}</ref>

A council of elders was responsible for oversight over Hutt Space and was comprised of Hutts that represented the oldest and most influential kajidics. It was this group that decided the fate of everyone that lived in Hutt Space with all Hutts being answerable to them.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> This Council of Ancients ruled Nal Hutta and was made up of eldest members of their kind. These clans were families that were able to trace their ancestry all the way to distant Varl. The means by which the Council makes their decisions was largely a mystery which stemmed from the fact that the Hutts did not allow outsiders to witness their governmental proceedings. Hutts all across the galaxy to even the farthest outskirts ultimately abided by the decisions of the council.<ref name="EGTAS" /> Beyond the council, their were internal rules used for maintaining obedience and order within their criminal organizations.<ref name="SoT" /> Outside the council was the [[Hutt Cartel]] that was officially an alliance of various Hutt clans that worked together in the common goal of attaining wealth and prosperity. In reality, the group was a criminal syndicate that was often splintered between its members that had competing interests.<ref name="Codex: Hutt Cartel">{{TORcite|type=codex|Hutt Cartel}}</ref> Another organization that included Hutts was the [[Miasmic Order of Ardos]].<ref name="Finding Vengeance">{{TORcite|type=class|Imperial Agent|Finding Vengeance|Voss}}</ref> One of the least numerous of the Huttese clans were the [[Shell Hutts]].<ref name="TMA">''[[The Mandalorian Armor]]''</ref>

In terms of religion, they believed in a pair of sun gods known as Evona and Ardos that were both destroyed in the ancient disaster that forced them from Varl.<ref name="EGTAS" /> On ancient Varl, the brightest star in the sky was generated by [[Cyax]] and the early history of the Hutts saw them attribute legends towards it as well as its planets. Among these was that of [[Da Soocha]] that was a word for ''"Waking Planet"'' and referenced the legend of a vast planet-covering ocean. It held a special sacred place amongst the Hutts as they never explored it after they achieved spaceflight and initially it never appeared on any of their astrogation charts.<ref name="DES">''[[Dark Empire Sourcebook]]''</ref> Some Hutts were known to ascended into their pantheon due to great achievements such as military victories as seen with the case of [[Boonta Hestilic Shad'ruu/Legends|Boonta]].{{Fact}} Other great Hutts of old included [[Zobara]] and [[Noh]] who, in their time, had wandered the galaxy.<ref name="Finding Vengeance" /> In addition, they were known to build elaborate [[Hutt Temple]]s on some sacred worlds.

Hutts spoke and read their own language known as [[Huttese/Legends|Huttese]] though were equally able to master [[Galactic Basic Standard/Legends|Basic]]. However, they considered their own language to be superior to Basic and typically demanded other beings address them in their own native tongue.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> Among their works of art included the play [[Evocar (play)|''Evocar'']] that was written by [[Direus'Pei]].

==History==
===Early existence===
====Origin====
[[File:Varl_NEGAS.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Varl, the original homeworld of the Hutts.]]
{{Quote|Once upon a time, the Hutts did not live on Nal Hutta, or on its moon Nar Shaddaa. They lived on planet called Varl, and it was a terrible place, perfect for the Hutts.|[[Reen Irana]]|<ref name="Scourge" />}}
During the [[Pre-Republic era]] the Hutts evolved on the rich<ref name="DES" /> lush<ref name="GG4:AR" /> temperate forest planet of Varl that became the legendary homeworld of their kind.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> At some point in ancient times, Varl became a part of the [[Rakata/Legends|Rakata's]] [[Infinite Empire]].<ref name="TEA" /> They were not the only race to evolve on the planet, as the [[t'landa Til]] were distant cousins of the Hutts.<ref name="EGTAS" /> The [[Rybet/Legends|Rybets]] claimed to have also evolved on Varl and that they had fought a war against the Hutts that nearly destroyed the planet. However, the validity of these claims was uncertain and were dismissed by the Hutts themselves.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> The system holding the original homeworld contained two suns<ref name="EGTAS" /> that were seen in Varl's azure sky<ref name="GG4:AR" /> called [[Ardos/Legends|Ardos]] and [[Evona]] that the early Hutts worshipped as gods.<ref name="EGTAS" /> There were some claims that stated that Varl was actually a barren world and there was considerable debate on whether it was a lush paradise or something fabricated by the Hutts. Scholars believed that originally the Hutts were likely solitary beings that grouped together during a crisis point when their population was too great and resources were few leading to a point when their species was threatened with extinction. However, no true records exist and thus much of the early development of Hutt civilization was a mystery.<ref name="GG11" /> During the fall of the Infinite Empire, [[Ardustagg]] the Absolute led a series of mass uprisings against the Rakata thus freeing Varl from their rule. In the aftermath, the Hutts would seize control of the Rakatan technology left behind that they would use to forge their own empire.<ref name="Encyclopedia">''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia]]''</ref> Early Hutt history was largely unknown and much of it had decayed into mythology. As a result, it was not known whether they had developed interstellar technology themselves or had acquired it from another species to various historical accounts that conflicted with one another. What was known was that the Hutts were an aggressive warrior species with expansionist plans who invaded several outlying worlds. There, they either exterminated the native races or enslaved them to become thralls, which they did with hundreds of worlds.<ref name="TEA" />

Similar to other species, their race spread to many planets upon achieving space travel. After leaving Varl, the Hutts began exploring the neighboring stars but left the [[Cyax system]] alone due to the myths they attributed towards it and their desire not to destroy the legends of the worlds located there.<ref name="DES" /> Eventually, a [[Hutt Empire]] formed some time after the year [[25,200 BBY]]. It was mainly based in the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim Territories]] though it also covered a portion of the [[Mid Rim]] and was, for approximately two centuries, the most powerful government in [[The galaxy/Legends|the galaxy]].{{Fact}} The early Hutts were noted for being a warrior people that left Varl in order to seek out their destiny in the stars. Any species they encountered whether they were strong enough to resist them or too weak to fight were utterly destroyed. Only those that were useful and capable of being mastered survived these predations. Even amongst these enslaved races, many of them were worked to extinction. The victims of the early Hutt conquests were long dead with few records kept of these early times. Among the few chronicles that exist were those of the [[Sakiyan/Legends|Sakiyans]] that were one of the few species from Hutt Space that retained their independence and earned the Hutt's respect. However, even their records were silent on the crimes of the Hutts. Only the oldest of the [[Tion]] legends and those histories from long established Rim worlds such as [[Delacrix/Legends|Delacrix]] and [[Rinn/Legends|Rinn]] spoke of the Hutts with fear as well as terror. These records spoke of worlds caught between feuding clans or that offended the Hutts with such planets being depopulated either by poisoning, bombardment or incineration.<ref name="EGW">''[[The Essential Guide to Warfare]]''</ref> At this point, the Hutt's had managed to build a formidable star empire.<ref name="TEC">[[The Essential Chronology (real-world book)|''The Essential Chronology'']]</ref> In this era, the Hutts were served by Sakiyan and [[Nimbanel/Legends|Nimbanel]] traders where their empire contained many great possessions. These included the lush boomworld of [[Boonta/Legends|Ko Vari]] and the treasure world of [[Sleheyron/Legends|Sleheyron]]. This latter world marked the true boundaries of the Hutt's dominion where only their most trusted slaves were allowed. Hutt Space became a series of trade routes that led into a tangle of satrapies where the Hutts and their vassals both schemed and intrigued.<ref name="XW:TD">"[[Xim Week: The Despotica]]</ref>

Their empire was eventually challenged in [[25,102 BBY]] by the Human [[Tionese (people)|Tionese]] warlord known as [[Xim/Legends|Xim the Despot]] who had formed a powerful interstellar [[Xim's empire|empire]] of his own within the [[Tion Cluster/Legends|Tion Cluster]]. Initial contact led to negotiations between [[Xim/Legends|Xim's]] courtiers and Hutt's vassals that culminated in an embassy being placed on Ko Vari where two dozen Hutt nobles attended. Amongst the Tionese was an individual remembered by the Hutts as [[Oziaf]] the Insignificant and whose presence was deemed a grievous insult. However, the Hutts could not ignore the accomplishments of Xim and thus made the decision to offer the Tionese the chance to be particularly favored slaves. These chain of events led to Xim deciding to burn down the Hutt worlds and he claimed the title of [[Daritha]] whereupon he used his empire's beacon network to flank Sleheyron. By the 25th year of Xim's rule, he launched a two pronged attack on Sleheyron and Ko Vari. This period was noted in Hutt legend as the sacking of Ko Vari was considered a singularly brutal act. However, accounts from the Hutts and even the Tionese acknowledge that the push to Sleheyron ultimately failed. Xim the Despot's warships were driven back to [[Kessel/Legends|Xo's Eye]] where they were lost in the nest of black holes that populated the region. Despite a victory, the Hutts came to realize that they had made a grave mistake and had badly underestimated the Tionese species as well as their leader. This was because Xim's empire controlled many worlds and his people seemingly bred like vermin that turned out new warships at a frightening rate.<ref name="XW:TD" />

====Xim Wars====
{{Quote|A long, long time ago, there came a time of revolution, when rebels united to challenge a tyrannical Despot. Leading the rebels was one Kossak the Hutt, who, with trickery, an indentured army, and an Idiot's Array of good fortune, triumphed over Xim the Despot's war-machines at the Third Battle of Vontor.|[[Nal Hutta/Legends|Evocar]]: Episode Three: ''"The Cry of the Evocii"'' by Direus'pei|<ref name="XW:TD" />}}
What followed was the devastating [[Xim Wars]] in [[25,100 BBY]] where Ko Vari was devastated in 25,102 BBY where Xim sought to vanquish the Hutt's control of the [[Si'Klaata Cluster/Legends|Si'Klaata Cluster]].{{Fact}} Within the Hutt Empire, the [[Conclave of Worms]] was called in order to discuss this threat and saw [[Kossak Inijic Ar'durv]] being declared [[Clan-General]] of the Hutts. He would move to rally the clans by offering to increase the power bases of his brethren in exchange for their complete support in defeating Xim. The larger clans agreed as they saw the potential prospect of profit to be gained whilst the smaller clans joined afterwards in order to not be left out. Amongst Kossak's first acts was emptying all treasure hoards and outlawed expenditure on anything other than war material along with provisions. This initially drew ire from his fellow Hutts but the Clan-General proved himself by sticking to his word that maintained the tenacious peace amongst the clans. After the initial funds were depleted from naval construction, a great influx in profit led to the treasury expanding threefold from spoils taken from the war. Kossak promised to pay back the ''"loans"'' provided by the clans using this surplus as interest. This ended any further apprehension from his fellow Hutts and allowed Kossak to engage in his primary strategy during the epic war against Xim where he turned the pirate's own tactics against him. The Clan-General hired thousands of [[Weequay/Legends|Weequay]] mercenaries to pillage the shipping lanes and damage any commercial enterprises not allied with the Hutts. A combination of weakening his forces and bribes from Kossak led to many of Xim's allies moving to the Hutt's cause after being deprived of sufficient protection. Whilst an achievement, the Hutts lost control over [[Moralan]] when the Tionese helped instigate the natives in a revolt against the Hutts.<ref name="XW:TD" /> Thus, the Hutt Empire fiercely opposed Xim for the possession of the Si'Klaata Cluster.<ref name="TEC" />

Afterwards, Kossak began his attempt at manipulating Xim and demanded that the Tionese leader engage the Hutt in ritual combat on the world of [[Vontor/Legends|Vontor]]. This savage planet deep in the Si'Klaata Cluster was a source of [[Kiirium/Legends|kiirium]] ore. Xim ultimately accepted Kossak's invitation and battled on Vontor that was the source of many Hutt ritual combats. The Despot managed to arrive on the planet where he eliminated the Weequay garrison on the world. According to scholars, a battle was fought in 25,100 BBY where Xim's pilots were outmaneuvered by the Hutts along with their slave species. The Despot ultimately lost and as a penalty he was forced to withdraw his forces from all worlds that were claimed by the Hutts. The Tionese complied but instead drew plans for the division of the Hutt territories. Xim's newly built warships were sent into the Si'Klaata Cluster where they raided the worlds of [[Kintan/Legends|Kintan]], [[Klatooine/Legends|Klatooine]], and [[Vodran (species)/Legends|Vodran]]. However, Kossak instead challenged Xim to a second round of ritual combat where the Hutt army consisting of [[Cyborrean]], [[Jilruan/Legends|Jilruan]] and Weequay mercenaries battled the Tionese only to suffer massive casualties at the hands of the [[Duinarbulon Star Lancers]]. Xim ultimately lost the battle though managed to escape with a large supply of Kiirium ore that his war-droids had mined from Vontor. In the aftermath, Xim's warlords warned that Hutt raiders were now loose in the [[Ash Worlds/Legends|Kiirium Reaches]] and counselled their leader to abandon the conquest of the Hutt Empire but instead fortifying his own kingdom. The Despot refused to abandon his plans but did decide to withdraw from Moralan that was promptly overrun by the Hutts who sterilized the world. Xim refused to surrender Ko Vari which allowed the Hutts to build up their forces once more. Boonta Hestilic Shad'ruu, who had led the extermination of Moralan, retook Ko Vari that left both the Hutts and Xim on the brink of total war. Kossak instead proposed a third round of ritual combat on Vontor with numerous conditions. If Xim won, he would keep Ko Vari and what was left of Moralan but if he refused than he had to renounce all claim to the Kiirium Reaches.<ref name="XW:TD" />

[[File:Hutt_Xim_war.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The [[Xim Wars]].]]
Following the Second Battle of Vontor, Kossak began to attempt to rebuild his army that had suffered severe losses. Thus, he sought to seek new species to enlist into the Hutt's cause against the Despot. As a result, he sent three of his most trusted emissaries into the Xim-sacked worlds in the Si'Klaata Cluster. This saw [[Dojunda]] being dispatched to Vodran, [[Axkatta]] to Klatooine and [[Churabba]] to Kintan. These native species of the Si'Klaata Cluster were in awe of the Hutts and saw them as demigods whereupon they vowed to fight against Xim by pledging their service to their new masters in exchange for the secrets of ''"star-magic"''.<ref name="XW:TD" /> During this time, the Hutts gathered a number of native species to serve in their slave armies.<ref name="TEA" /> This saw both the Vodran and Klatooinian already being placed into their service.<ref name="GORW">''[[Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds]]''</ref> This saw Hutt Space expanding into the Si'Klaata Cluster<ref name="GG12:AEA">''[[Galaxy Guide 12: Aliens — Enemies and Allies]]''</ref> leading to the discovery of the [[Nikto/Legends|Nikto]] that were more technologically advanced than the Vodran and Klatooinians<ref name="GORW" /> which made them a challenge to the Hutts.<ref name="GG12:AEA" /> Hutt merchants visited Kintan and intended to seek control of the star system in order to secure a strategic advantage over competitors.<ref name="USGIL:TN">''[[The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life: The Nikto]]''</ref> Upon visiting Kintan, the Hutts desired in taking the planet for themselves and witnessed the Cult in action.<ref name="EGTAS" /> The envoys from the Hutts was led by Churabba the Hutt who had a cunning business being. Upon ''"her"'' arrival in the Kintan system, she came to realize that the [[Cult of M'dweshuu]] held a stranglehold over the planet and that the Nikto feared them. Legends spoke of ''"her"'' respecting the Cult but recognizing them as being fierce and unpredictable.<ref name="GG12:AEA" /> Churabba also saw that many of the Cult's ''"loyal followers"'' were a disgruntled people and thus ripe for a rebellion.<ref name="USGIL:TN" /> Thus, instead of finagling or bargaining with the Nikto, Churabba decided to destroy the cultist's seat of power from orbit<ref name="GORW" /> and had no regrets in doing the act.<ref name="GG12:AEA" /> Not only did this act show the Hutt's power but demonstrated that the Cult was not infallible to common Nikto.<ref name="GORW" /> Many of the cultists were killed when their stronghold was destroyed and earned the gratitude of the Nikto who saw the Hutts<ref name="GG12:AEA" /> along with Churabba as saviors.<ref name="EGTAS" /> Following their control of Kintan, the Hutts had no qualms with forcing the powerful Nikto into servitude.<ref name="GG12:AEA" />

These chain of events led to the [[Treaty of Vontor]] that allowed the creation of a sizable mercenary army consisting of Nikto, Vodran and Klatooinian warriors whose leaders had bound the three species to a permanent state of servitude.<ref name="TEA" /> Kossak was known to have lured races such as the Nikto into Hutt service for the battle at Vontor<ref name="EGW" /> and later led his forces at the [[Third Battle of Vontor]] in 25,100 BBY where the new slave army was crucial in destroying Xim's army of [[Guardian Corps|War-Robots]].<ref name="TNEC">''[[The New Essential Chronology]]''</ref> Following Xim's defeat, the warlord himself was captured and placed in Kossak's dungeons on Varl, though Tionese historians falsely claimed he died in battle on Vontor. Afterward, the Hutts then invaded and devastated much of the Tion Cluster. The Tionese were so debilitated militarily and economically that they did not pose a military threat for a long time.<ref name="TEA" />

====Tion and the Republic====
In [[24,000 BBY]], Hutt Space and the Tion Cluster were first encountered by the [[Core Worlds/Legends|Core Worlds]]&mdash;based Galactic Republic which had discovered the [[Perlemian Trade Route/Legends|Perlemian Trade Route]].<ref name="TNEC" /> By this point, the Hutts sat at the center of a web of lush worlds that were attended to by their slave races. The Hutts saw the young rich worlds of the Core being ripe for exploitation and thus their raiders as well as slavers were known to have struck from the shadows against such planets. It was known that entire Core colonies were depopulated by the Hutts who seized cargoes before retreating into their own domain. Hutt predations on worlds by the Rim saw such planets seeking the protection of the Republic to aid them against such attacks.<ref name="EGW" /> As a result, these independent states petitioned for membership in the Galactic Republic that allowed it to grow quickly over the millennium as these worlds sought to protect themselves from the Hutts.<ref name="TNEC" />

Conflict between the Republic and the [[Honorable Union of Desevro & Tion]] led to the [[Tionese War]] that erupted approximately twenty four thousand years ago. A victory was only achieved by the Republic when its agents stirred up trouble in Hutt Space. The angry Hutts were thus sent on a collision course with their old enemies in the Tion. This led to the Hutts invading the Kiirium Reaches and exterminating many of the Tionese there in a devastating camapign of genocide known as [[the Devouring]].<ref name="TNEC" /> The surviving [[Tionese (people)|Tionese]] appealed to their former Republic foes for protection and most of the Tionese worlds subsequently joined the Republic. With their human foes united, the Hutts prepared for a war which did not ultimately occur.

===Reign of the Old Republic===
====Hutt Cataclysms====
The next major event to befall the Hutts was a terrifying civil war known as the [[Hutt Cataclysms]] with the origin of the conflict being unknown.<ref name="TEA" /> Some claims said that [[Varl/Legends|Varl]] befell some great natural calamity in the past that left it a barren wasteland.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" /> This immense catastrophe that blasted their world almost destroyed their species though they managed to ultimately survive.<ref name="GG11" /> Hutt legend held their own beliefs as to the destruction that was inflicted on Varl. They claimed that long ago their gods ruled their home system in peace. This was until Evona was lured into a collision course with a tiny black hole where she perished.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> When this happened, the other planets in the system collided and crushed each other into asteroids.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> This act in turn led to the asteroids crashing into Varl<ref name="GG4:AR" /> and bombarding the surface.<ref name="EGTAS" /> Their beliefs held that Ardos mourned the loss of his mate and the destruction of their children. Thus, he ejected his gaseous shell, which seared Varl in the process, eventually condensing<ref name="GG4:AR" /> and collapsing into a white dwarf.<ref name="EGTAS" /> What was left of their homeworld was a blasted desert<ref name="DES" /> pock-marked barren planet that circled the white dwarf Ardos.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> The majority of the indigenous forms of life became extinct as a result but the Hutts not only survived but prevailed.<ref name="DES" /> Later Hutt legend claimed that only they and Varl were the only survivors of the great celestial tragedy.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> It was for this reason that they dismissed the Rybets claims from originating from Varl as they themselves stated that they were the only survivors of the mysterious destruction to the Ardos system that was inflicted before recorded history.<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" />

Starship pilots and galactic explorers, as well as scientists, subscribed to the belief that Varl was destroyed by the Hutts themselves after being embroiled in a civil war of such vicious ferocity that only their own kind were capable of comprehending it.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> By the time it ended in [[15,000 BBY/Legends|15,000 BBY]], Varl along with the ancient Hutt colonies were rendered lifeless.<ref name="TEA" /> Whatever the nature of the catastrophe, the Hutts managed to survive the disaster and were able to regain sufficient power, as well as technology, to relocate from the barren wastes of their home planet to another world.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> Their survival of the destruction of their original system led to the Hutt's belief that they had surpassed the divinity of their pantheon and were now greater than the ones that they had once worshiped.<ref name="EGTAS" />

[[File:Nalhutta.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Nal Hutta, the new Hutt homeworld.]]

One of the systems that attracted the Hutts that fled Varl was the [[Y'Toub system]] where they discovered the primitive [[Evocii]].<ref name="DES" /> Upon abandoning their ancestral homeworld, their star caravan which eventually arrived over the planet Evocar where they proceeded to displace the native Evocii species with typical Hutt cunning.<ref name="TEGPM">''[[The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons]]''</ref> After they and the t'landa Til arrived in the [[Y'Toub]] system, the Hutts renamed the planet [[Nal Hutta/Legends|Nal Hutta]], or "Glorious Jewel" in Huttese. Having decided that Evocar was a suitable home, they traded their modern technology<ref name="DES" /> with the Evocii in exchange for pieces of land on Evocar.<ref name="TEGPM" /> During this time, the Evocii did not realize that the Hutts purchase of real estate was essentially buying the planet from them. By the time the Evocii learnt the truth, the constructions teams had arrived to begin their work where they tore down the native lodges and monuments to replace them with Hutt structures.<ref name="DES" /> What followed was the creation of tacky bathhouses, pleasure palaces,<ref name="TEGPM" /> pavilions, Huttian shrines and theme parks,<ref name="DES" /> as the various Hutt merchant families sought to outdo one another.<ref name="TEGPM" /> The temperate rainforests were bulldozed and replaced with stagnant swampland whose foul, putrid odor appealed to the Hutt's senses. Similar construction efforts were also being conducted on the planet's [[Nar Shaddaa/Legends|moon]], due to its growing importance in smuggling circles. It was thus paved over to allow for countless cargo warehouses, docking towers, trading plazas, and landing bays.<ref name="TEGPM" /> In the aftermath of the usurpation, the Evocii attempted to appeal to the Galactic Republic but neither they nor the [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]] were able to find a loophole in the Hutt contract. As a result, the Evocii were displaced to the moon of Nar Shaddaa that was deeded to them. However, unknown to them, the Hutt's business representatives had bribed the negotiators that forced them to remain as cheap in-system labor. In time, the Hutts confiscated more land and bought more of the growing industry which saw the Evocii being more exploited to the point that they became a degenerate sub-class in the lowest levels of the city moon.<ref name="DES" />

Once on their new homeworld, the [[Hutt Ruling Council|Hutt Grand Council]] was established. It was the brainchild of [[Budhila Hestilic Amura]], who had also created the philosophy of the [[Kajidic/Legends|kajidics]]. The teachings espoused by Budhila highlighted that fierce competition among the clans removed the weak from their ranks. Yet it also made note against outright warfare or territorial conquest. Thus, a dramatic change was seen in the Hutt mindset, as they believed normal means of conflict were tools used by weaker species. This era saw their earlier histories being transformed into myth<ref name="TEA" /> and the formalization of the ''kajidic'' social structure. Hutts would now pursue a policy of manipulation and of working in the shadows, rather than their previous warring ways.<ref name="EGW" />

====The Old Republic====
{{Quote|Master, are you sure we should be dealing with these Hutts? They have no love for Jedi.''"<br />"''Their love for profit is greater than their hatred of Jedi, young Padawan.|[[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]] [[Padawan/Legends|Padawan]] [[Naat Reath]] to [[Jedi Knight/Legends|Jedi Knight]] [[Echuu Shen-Jon]]|<ref name="SWGBCC">''[[Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns]]''</ref>}}
[[File:Hutt_TOR.jpg|thumb|left|220px|A Hutt of the [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Galactic Republic]] in [[3653 BBY]]]]
During the [[Kymoodon Era]], [[Galactic Republic/Legends|Republic]] colonists spreading beyond the frontier into what was then the [[Wild Space/Legends|Wild Space]] between the Republic and [[Hutt Space/Legends|Hutt Space]] were subjected to numerous Hutt-sponsored raids. These had the aim of [[Slavery/Legends|enslaving]] the colonists. [[Lexrul/Legends|Lexrul]], [[Drogheda/Legends|Drogheda]], [[Hathrox III|Hathrox]], [[Imram]] and [[Parcovey Minor]] were among those colonies targeted. The successful [[Assault on Parcovey Minor|defense of Parcovey Minor]] was one of the few bright spots for the colonists amid the raids.<ref>''[[Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare Author's Cut]]'', Part 5 &mdash; Zenith of the Republic</ref> This led to a hatred of the Hutts growing steadily throughout the Republic. [[Unidentified Republic soldier (Falang Minor)|At least one Republic soldier]] knew of them as the "devil-slugs", and believed that they had eaten Xim the Despot to gain his powers.<ref>''[[Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Warfare Author's Cut]]'', Part 4: The Rise of the Republic</ref>

In [[12,000 BBY/Legends|12,000 BBY]], the Republic came under the influence of the theocratic and [[Humanocentrism|Humanocentric]] [[Pius Dea]] sect which posited [[Contispex I/Legends|Contispex I]] as [[Supreme Chancellor/Legends|Supreme Chancellor]].<ref name="TNEC" /><ref name="TTSP">{{Hyperspace|url=hyperspace/source/praji/20090205.html|text=Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Praji|int=Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Praji}}</ref> Taking advantage of their unpopularity among the Republic's citizens, Constipex sanctioned a [[Pius Dea Crusades|crusade]] against the Hutts.<ref name="TTSP" /> Over the following centuries, his descendants sanctioned several crusades against some rival alien sects in the Outer Rim which fought back; leaving the galaxy in a never-ending state of alternating hot and cold wars.<ref name="TTSP" /> The anti-alien nature of the crusades precipitated an exodus into Hutt Space until the end of Pius Dea rule in [[11,000 BBY]],<ref name="TEA" /> and the repercussions of these crusades would sour relations between the Core and the outlying regions over the millennia.<ref name="TNEC" />

Around the time, the [[Ootmian Pabol/Legends|''Ootmian Pabol'']] hyperlane was forged from [[Gyndine/Legends|Gyndine]] into Hutt Space. In the [[Ductavis Era]] and [[Rianitus Period]] after the [[Pius Dea Era]], trade flooded down this new route into Hutt Space via Nal Hutta, and its moon Nar Shaddaa became a boomworld for legitimate business. In this time, one Hutt known as [[Blotus]] even became Supreme Chancellor of the Republic and was hailed by its citizens for his actions during the Rianitus Period. Another notable Hutt was Aarrba who was a humble and honest businessman at [[Empress Teta/Legends|Koros Major]] in [[5000 BBY/Legends|5000 BBY]]. However, the Hutts' destiny was changed forever in [[4000 BBY/Legends|4000 BBY]] when the star of the [[Kyyr system]] went [[Supernova/Legends|supernova]], sundering the ''Ootmian Pabol''. With the decline of the route and the [[Corellian Run/Legends|Corellian Run]] expanding beyond [[Ryloth/Legends|Ryloth]], legitimate trade fled Nar Shaddaa and the moon became the galaxy's most notorious [[Shadowport/Legends|shadowport]], a haven for [[Smuggler/Legends|smugglers]], [[Pirate/Legends|pirates]], and other criminals. Deprived of trade, the Hutts soon adapted to become the masters of the galaxy's criminal underworld. From this, the Hutts had wormed their way into the megacorps of the Republic within a few millennia. The machinations of the Hutt ''kajidics'' allowed them to gain economic control over more planets whilst the Republic rotted from within.<ref name="TEA" />

In the [[Jedi Civil War]], and later the [[Dark Wars]], the Hutts found themselves increasingly challenged by the criminal syndicate known as the [[Exchange]]. During this time, the Exchange attempted to gain control over Nar Shaddaa and fought with the Hutts for the Smugglers' Moon. This led to the Hutt's power waning on the moon and to it temporarily being within the hands of the Exchange crime syndicate.<ref name="KotORCG">''[[Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide]]''</ref> Among these Exchange crime bosses on Nar Shaddaa was [[G0-T0|Goto]] who believed that the Hutts were too dangerous an evil for the Republic to deal with. This led to a number of confrontations with the local Hutt Vogga, who hired bounty hunters and even made a deal with Goto's underling to eliminate his boss.<ref name="KotOR2">''[[Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords]]''</ref>

[[File:Nem'ro.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Hutt warlord Nem'ro during the Great Galactic War era.]]
During the emergence of the [[Sith Empire (Post–Great Hyperspace War)|Sith Empire]], the Hutt Cartel played little part in events of the [[Great Galactic War]] as the criminal networks of the galaxy debated on which faction to back. However, the Hutts resented the [[Tenebrae|Sith Emperor]] for not including them in his pre-war conspiracy against the Republic. Despite this, [[Imperial Intelligence (Sith Empire)|Imperial Intelligence]] were known to have blocked all Republic efforts in gaining the Hutts' support.<ref name="T4">{{TORweb|url=holonet/galactic-history|text=Timeline 4: The Empire Changes Strategy|int=Timeline 4: The Empire Changes Strategy}}</ref> As the conflict escalated, the planet [[Quesh]] was discovered by the Republic, which intended to harness the potent ''[[venenit queshaaga]]'' ("Quesh Venom") for adrenal production, and forged a deal with [[Three Families|three Hutt clans]] for their knowledge of processing ''[[venenit shadaaga]]'' ("Hutt Venom") based adrenals, who kept the business deal a secret from the Sith. But their dealings were eventually discovered by the Sith Empire. This forced the Hutts to declare the three clans to be traitors, and they were forced to help the Sith in attempting to re-occupy the planet.<ref name="TORHQ">Non-Canon Ref</ref> After the [[Treaty of Coruscant]], the Hutts largely remained neutral during the [[Cold War (Galactic Republic&ndash;Sith Empire)|Cold War]] period of [[3654 BBY]] where they did not side either with the Republic or the Sith. However, Nar Shaddaa remained a common gathering ground for criminal elements throughout the galaxy and was tolerated so long as the Hutts were given a cut in any profit generated.<ref name="TOR:A">''[[The Old Republic: Annihilation]]''</ref> During this time, the Hutts were known to continue to have continued facing predations from the Exchange and worked with several crime syndicates against them through informants within that organization.<ref name="TOR:D">''[[The Old Republic: Deceived]]''</ref>

Included among notable activities by the Hutts were Hutt Cartel business dealings through [[Barrga]] the Hutt at the [[Rendili Vehicle Corporation (facility)|Rendili Vehicle Corporation]], which led to the creation of the [[Defender-class light corvette/Legends|''Vanguard''-class light corvette]]. However, [[Rendili/Legends|Rendili]] betrayed the Hutt and killed his agents in order to cover up their dealings<ref name="TOR:SV">''[[The Old Republic: Smuggler's Vanguard]]''</ref> As the Cold War continued, numerous attempts were made to align the Hutts with their faction. Imperial Intelligence was noted to have dispatched [[Cipher Nine]] to Nar Shaddaa disguised as a bounty hunter called the Red Blade in order to trick [[Suudaa Nem'ro]] into aligning with the Sith Empire. This was accomplished by the [[Cipher Agent]] planting information that indicated Nem'ro's rival, [[Voontara Fa'athra|Fa'athra]], was receiving Republic support. After taking the bait, Nem'ro contacted the Sith Empire about Imperial assistance in combating the Republic. Similarly, the crime lord [[Bareesh Fenn'ak Torill]] allied with the Republic where the Hutt worked with Ambassador [[Averdon]].<ref name="SWTOR" /> Following the apparent death of the Sith Emperor, the Hutt Cartel began openly turning against both the Republic and the Empire. This saw the invasion of the planet [[Makeb]] where [[Toborro]] the Hutt bribed the [[InterStellar Regulators]] to serve him whilst he intended to mine the world of its supply of [[isotope-5]]. It was his intention to gather enough of the substance to create new weaponry and energy supplies with which the Hutts planned to use to conquer the galaxy.<ref name="SW:TOR:RotHC">''[[Star Wars: The Old Republic: Rise of the Hutt Cartel]]''</ref>

According to a vision by [[Kreia]], the Hutts eventually ceased tolerating the presence of the Exchange, which caused the criminal syndicate to slowly feed on itself until it was ultimately destroyed.<ref name="KotOR2" />

====Dark Ages====
{{Quote|But all that changed because of us. Governments fall, but we remain. The Hutt clans have ways of talking to each other, of moving goods and muscle.

During the era of the [[New Sith Wars]], the shattered factions of the [[New Sith]] intruded upon Hutt Space where they occupied the region. However, when the Republic cut off the comm relays, these Sith began to fight with one another and were weakened. This allowed the Hutts to move their goods and forces in place until the Sith either worked with them or were destroyed.

Afterwards, [[Zodoh]] the Hutt began to intrude upon Sith controlled space of the [[Bactranate]], starting with [[Aquilaris]], as he attempted to expand his business ventures. Without their Sith masters, the Hutt forces easily managed to overpower the Sith troops and began to deploy their atmospheric ''[[Stormdriver]]''. This assault was repulsed by the Republic, which deployed [[Devil Squadron]] into the fight against both the Hutt and Sith forces. Despite this, Zodoh met with the Sith warlords and offered to be a supplier of munitions as well as slaves. He stated that he would supply these in exchange for a foothold, but he warned the Sith that he would destroy them if they resisted.

Around [[600 BBY/Legends|600 BBY]]/[[400 BBY]], a Hutt by the name of [[Beldorion]] became a member of the [[Jedi Order/Legends|Jedi Order]]. As a Jedi, he traveled to [[Nam Chorios/Legends|Nam Chorios]] where he discovered the planet's crystal energy magnified his own [[The Force/Legends|Force]] powers. Afterwards, he would set himself up as a petty local dictator on the world.<ref name="TEC" />

===Rise of the Empire===
====The Clone Wars====
{{Quote|I'm sorry, Master. Maybe I should have seen this coming. But it was a bad idea to deal with the Hutts. You can never win with them. You can only choose how badly you lose.|Anakin Skywalker to Obi-Wan Kenobi|<ref name="Star Wars: The Clone Wars" />}}
At some point during [[Jabba Desilijic Tiure/Legends|Jabba Desilijic Tiure's]] rise to power, he had to fend off numerous actions from his peers. In this time, he devised a brilliant strategy that united his species in their criminal enterprises. After calling together the Hutt clan leaders, he convinced them to expand their influence instead of bickering between themselves. Jabba proposed to unite the clans, instead of continuing inter-clan rivalries, and to exploit the rest of the galaxy as a single entity. His plan worked, and after removing his rivals, he elevated himself to the position of chief of the Hutt crime syndicates.<ref name="SES" />

During the [[Separatist Crisis/Legends|Separatist Crisis]], [[Count/Legends|Count]] [[Dooku/Legends|Dooku]] dispatched [[Chiss/Legends|Chiss]] [[General/Legends|General]] [[Sev'rance Tann]] to the planet [[Tatooine/Legends|Tatooine]] in order to gather valuable intelligence from [[Boorka]] the Hutt, who resided in [[Mos Osnoe]]. Among this vital information were details of a new [[Decimator (war machine)|weapon]] that was being developed by the Republic. After battling his forces, she earned the Hutt's respect, and he asked for her assistance in destroying a Republic space port that was being established outside his home settlement to help pay for war costs by profiting from the Outer Rim trade route.<ref name="SWGBCC" /> At some point during this time, a renewed presence came from the Nikto Cult of M'dweeshu that had committed several occult mutilations and killings on travelers on the [[Sisar Run/Legends|Sisar Run]] of the [[Periphery/Legends|Periphery]]. As a result, local businesses and planetary governments placed bounties on free Nikto that were not affiliated with the Hutts or Hutt enterprises. [[Dorosii]] who was the Appointed Intermediate to the Galactic Senate assured Republic officials that they were resolving the blood cults violent activities without government intervention though the Jedi Council was investigating the possibility of sending a taskforce to deal with the situation.<ref name="HNNV53145">''[[HoloNet News Vol. 531 45]]''</ref>

[[File:BibFortuna_Jabba_Ep6.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Jabba the Hutt, played a part in shaping the course of the Clone Wars]]
In the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]], Hutt Space remained neutral amidst the fighting and played both Galactic Republic and [[Confederacy of Independent Systems/Legends|Confederacy of Independent Systems]] against each other.<ref name="TEA" /> The Hutts ultimately saw the war as simply another means through which they could gain a profit. This saw them channel a great deal of illegal resources to both sides. The Separatists proved to be the largest customer of the Hutts who were constantly looking for new advances to aid in their war effort;<ref name="CWCG">''[[The Clone Wars Campaign Guide]]''</ref> one particular instance was Jabba's role of smuggling [[Cortosis/Legends|cortosis]] at the request of [[Wat Tambor/Legends|Wat Tambor]], the [[Skakoan/Legends|Skakoan]] [[Foreman/Legends|Foreman]] of the [[Techno Union/Legends|Techno Union]] and a member of the [[Separatist Council]], during the construction and production of the [[C-B3 cortosis battle droid]] for the CIS several months after the [[First Battle of Geonosis/Legends|Battle of Geonosis]]. However, after the [[Battle of Teth/Legends|rescue]] and [[Mission to Jabba's Palace (Clone Wars)/Legends|return]] of Rotta to Jabba on Tatooine in the [[Arkanis sector/Legends|Arkanis sector]], the Hutts allowed the Republic to pass through the sector, a privilege denied to the CIS.<ref name="TEA" /> As the war continued to rage, the Hutts began to move in the shadows, gaining control of Tatooine, Gyndine, and [[Toong'L]]. They also demanded high prices for access to the trade routes they controlled.<ref name="TEA" /> However, the Hutts were notably displeased with the Confederacy when they began gathering mercenaries from [[Gamorr/Legends|Gamorr]]. Thus, they petitioned the Separatists in an attempt to preserve their hold over the [[Gamorrean/Legends|Gamorreans]]. This led to the Trade Federation negotiating a finder's fee where they paid a bounty to the Hutts for each Gamorrean hired in the course of the Clone Wars. The act only generated a minimal level of profit for the Hutts but eased their minds on the idea that the Confederacy was encroaching on Gamorr that was a world long considered to be within their control.<ref name="CWCG" />

While this balancing act was the norm, [[Tagta]] the Hutt used a [[Repulsorlift/Legends|repulsor]]-based cannon at his palace on [[Nar Hekka]] to destroy Republic supply ships that moved along the [[Sheela Run]] to reach the front lines. The Jedi Order dispatched Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi to investigate the matter. They learned that Tagta intended to extort the Republic by demanding one billion credits for Republic use of the Sheela Run. The Hutt even threatened to speak to Count Dooku about such a business opportunity, but after Tagta's mercenaries were neutralized, Grandmaster Yoda reopened negotiations by offering only a single credit for the use of the Sheela Run. This was under the condition that the trade route be free of Separatist ships; otherwise, the Senate would investigate Tagta's criminal activities.

After Ziro the Hutt was imprisoned, the Hutt Council feared the knowledge he kept of their criminal activities in a [[Holodiary/Legends|holodiary]] [[Hutt Council records/Legends|record]]. The Council hired bounty hunter [[Cad Bane/Legends|Cad Bane]] to release Ziro from captivity and to bring him to Nal Hutta. Bane took the Galactic Senate hostage, bargaining their freedom in exchange for Ziro's. After Ziro was brought to the Hutt homeworld, he sought to avoid punishment by threatening to release the contents of his diary. In response, the Hutt Council imprisoned him. [[Sy Snootles/Legends|Sy Snootles]] freed Ziro, and the two recovered the diary from the [[Grave of Ziro Desilijic Tiure's father]] on [[Teth/Legends|Teth]]. But Snootles killed Ziro and took the records back to her employer, Jabba Desilijic Tiure, on Tatooine.

====Imperial Period====
After the end of the war, the Republic was dissolved and a new [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]] was established in its place. With the creation of the [[New Order/Legends|New Order]] which was a revitalized militaristic power that the Hutts showed obedience to but used their cunning to outmaneuver this new foe. Whilst the Empire's anti-slavery policies greatly hurt their operations, exceptions were made for Hutt Space and several other cooperatives that the Hutts moved quickly to control. Though an attempt was made to organize the rimward territory of Hutt Space into Imperial sectors, the Hutts simply bribed the newly appointed [[Moff/Legends|Moffs]] to look the other way. In addition, whilst Moff [[Sarn Shild]] was in charge of Hutt Space, in reality the situation was far different with his decrees not being followed in the Hutts' territory. Several shows of force were made by the Empire which included the annexation of [[Sriluur/Legends|Sriluur]] and the [[Annexation of the northern Hutt territories|northern Hutt territories]], as well as the development of manufacturing plants throughout Hutt Space. This also saw the creation of an Imperial task force sent to crackdown on criminal activity on Nar Shaddaa which was stopped by actions conducted by smugglers. Furthermore, the Empire warned the Hutts that rebel activity would not be tolerated in Hutt Space. Despite this, for the most part, the Hutts were left largely alone and in fact generated the most profit for the Imperial war machine.<ref name="TEA" />

[[File:LAotH_cover_art.png|thumb|right|300px|A one-eyed Hutt gangster during the Galactic Civil War]]
Imperial astronomers in this era would examine Hutt beliefs and pointed out what they believed to be impossibilities within the legend. However, it was true that Varl orbited the dwarf star Ardos with a lot of asteroids present within the star system.<ref name="GG4:AR" /> Despite this being the case, Imperial officials were noted to have disliked the Hutts and claimed that nothing of good breeding could have come from Varl.<ref name="ZHR" /> Whilst the Hutt families lacked the Empire's military might, they did manage to keep Imperial forces at bay with their influence. This was achieved through insinuations that they were capable of sabotaging key economies, supply lines, resource fulfillment, corporations and even governments elsewhere in the galaxy. As a result, the Hutts remained secure within their own domain on the fringes of the Outer Rim where they dispatched agents to achieve their goals. These included dealing with the rising Empire, forging cooperative arrangements with its more pliable members and continuing to expand their criminal syndicates throughout the galaxy. They were noted to also keep an eye on Nar Shaddaa for signs suspected resistance operations in order to prevent these from arousing Imperial intervention.<ref name="TFUCG">''[[The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide]]''</ref>

During the [[Galactic Civil War/Legends|Galactic Civil War]] between the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]] and the Empire, most Hutts remained neutral.<ref name="TEA" /> After the [[Battle of Yavin/Legends|Battle of Yavin]], an armed force of kajidics led by [[Osae Meilea]] known as the [[Hutt Expeditionary Force]] was dispatched into the [[Yavin system/Legends|Yavin system]] that attempted to shut down rival operations in order to salvage the remains of the [[DS-1 Orbital Battle Station/Legends|Death Star]] with some of the technology sold to both the Empire and the Rebel Alliance.<ref name="SWG">''[[Star Wars Galaxies]]''</ref> In this era, the Hutt's were challenged by the rising criminal empire of [[Tyber Zann]] who led the [[Zann Consortium/Legends|Zann Consortium]] in a number of operations in the galaxy. This saw [[Jabba Desilijic Tiure's criminal empire]] attacking their base on Ryloth leading to similar engagements on [[Saleucami/Legends|Saleucami]] and culminated in Jabba's defeated at [[Hypori/Legends|Hypori]] when Zann had managed to capture an old CIS battle droid factory. Both worlds were ceded to the Consortium in exchange for Jabba's survival and the condition that Hutt Space was to left alone.<ref name="SWEWFC">''[[Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption]]''</ref>

After the death of Jabba, the truce established by him for many years dissolved and led to a full-scale Hutt clan war. During this time, the various Hutts tried to systematically dominate one another whilst the criminal underworld fell into chaos.<ref name="DES" /> In [[12 ABY/Legends|12 ABY]], Durga Besadii Tai began a plan at securing a base of power for himself and the Hutts after the death of both Jabba along with [[Prince/Legends|Prince]] [[Xizor/Legends|Xizor]]. Now the new head of the [[Black Sun/Legends|Black Sun]], he instigated the creation of a [[Superlaser/Legends|superlaser]] equipped superweapon known as the [[Darksaber (superweapon)|Darksaber]]. Using the [[Taurill/Legends|Taurill]] as a work force, he also conscripted [[Bevel Lemelisk]] to create the weapon within an asteroid field in the [[Hoth system/Legends|Hoth system]]. In order to prevent the [[New Republic/Legends|New Republic]] from discovering his plans, he seemingly took part in a peace initiative with [[Leia Organa Solo]]. He even suggested forming an alliance and that the Empire was conducting suspicious activity but during this time, he began stealing the [[Death Star plans/Legends|Death Star plans]] as well as other components critical to his goal. Learning of his plan, the New Republic dispatched a [[Commando/Legends|commando]] team led by [[Crix Madine/Legends|Crix Madine]] to attack Durga but Madine was killed in the skirmish. Furthermore, the Darksaber itself was destroyed when the cheapness of the project and the poor construction efforts of the [[Taurill Overmind]] led to it being destroyed by the asteroids where it was being built thus ending the Hutt threat when Durga was killed.<ref name="Dn" />

===Post-Endor Era===
====New Jedi Order Era====
{{Quote|When Xim the Despot and his droid legions attempted to invade Hutt space, the great Kossak defeated them at Vontor and sent them fleeing for the Tion Hegemony.

[[File:Vong_vs_Hutts.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The Hutts defend their holdings against the [[Yuuzhan Vong]]]]
During the [[Yuuzhan Vong War]], the Hutts came to realize that they needed to deal with the extragalactic [[Yuuzhan Vong]] invaders. This was because they knew that these new aliens were pressing towards the Core Worlds and were unlikely to ignore Hutt Space. As a result, the circumstances led to a simple choice for the Hutts; fight or bargain. They ultimately decided to bargain with the Yuuzhan Vong though it was not in the Hutt mentality to choose sides. This was particularly the case when there was prospective profit to be gained by serving both sides in the conflict. Thus, some Hutts believed they were capable of maintaining their neutrality by selling slaves to the Yuuzhan Vong, arms to the New Republic and spice to everyone else. For the negotiations, the Grand Council and ''kajidics'' empowered [[Borga Besadii Diori]] where they made contact with the Yuuzhan Vong through a Human intermediary known as [[Nom Anor|Pedric Cuf]]. This saw Borga meet with commander [[Malik Carr]] where they claimed to desire peaceful coexistence with the Yuuzhan Vong and a desire not to fight. To demonstrate their good will, the Hutts offered one of their own worlds to be used as a staging ground for an attack against the New Republic. In exchange, the Hutts wanted to be allowed to continue trading freely and requested to be informed of which worlds the Yuuzhan Vong were going to invade. The Hutts claimed that this was to avoid such planets and to prevent any unfortunate conflict of interest from emerging.<ref name="TNJOS">''[[The New Jedi Order Sourcebook]]''</ref> Following the separate peace agreed with the Yuuzhan Vong, the Hutts officially severed all diplomatic ties with the New Republic. This news was broadcast onto the HoloNet which saw Nal Hutta's envoy, the [[Consul-General]] Golga Besadii Fir closing down the Hutt consulate at [[Valorum Tower]] on Coruscant. [[Kuati/Legends|Kuati]] Senator [[Viqi Shesh]] was noted to had met with the Hutt ambassador where informally they discussed about the Hutts furnishing intelligence on Yuuzhan Vong actions.<ref name="ACII:JE" />

During this time, the concession given to the Hutts was ultimately noticed by other traders in the galaxy. Among them included [[Talon Karrde]] who suspected collusion from the Hutts and took his Jedi allies to uncover evidence of this act along with confirmation that the lack of Hutt presence of select worlds meant that they were intended targets. This led him to Ryloth where he met [[Crev Bombaasa/Legends|Crev Bombaasa]] who was a high-ranking member of the [[Besadii/Legends|Besadii]] ''kajidic''. Unaware of his masters intentions, he provided Karrde a list of worlds that the Hutts were avoiding as they were targets for invasion by the Yuuzhan Vong. The divulgence of this information was seen by the Yuuzhan Vong as a deliberate act of treachery. Thus, after the costly [[Battle of Fondor]], the vengeful Yuuzhan Vong took their wrath out on Nal Hutta.<ref name="TNJOS" /> In response, only half the clans support was given to provide a defense to their homeworld. As a result, many Hutts were killed during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of Nal Hutta with them being slain within their palaces. Yuuzhan Vong forces began to conduct remote bombardment over Nal Hutta with missiles bursting in the atmosphere with no immediate damage detected.<ref name="BP">''[[The New Jedi Order: Balance Point]]''</ref> Following their failed alliance, the Yuuzhan Vong began introducing bio-agents into the atmosphere of both Nal Hutta and its moon of Nar Shaddaa.<ref name="SoT" /> Several organic creations were sent by the [[Master Shaper]]s to Nal Hutta and its moon Nar Shaddaa for multiple purposes that ultimately culminated in them being [[Terraforming/Legends|Vongformed]] to fertile planetoids. Different types of bacteria killed most of the inhabitants which traveled into the underslums of Nar Shaddaa, before processing their remains into the soil of Nal Hutta which killed some Hutts as their bodies were feasted on by such microbes.<ref name="BP" /> The chain of events led to all forms of technology being wiped out along with many Hutts killed in the process.<ref name="SoT" />

Many of the ''kajidics'' evacuated by this point where they fled to worlds such as Gamorr, Tatooine and Rodia.<ref name="BP" /> Since being exiled from their homeworld, they began seeking out a new homeworld for their kind. The Yuuzhan Vong indicated that they were willing to allow the Hutts to relocate to Tatooine but under the condition that they be given a live captive Jedi in exchange.<ref name="TNJOS" /> During this time, many Hutt freighters were allowed to flee to Tatooine from the devastated Nal Hutta where there was a fear that the limited resources on such a small planet would eventually spiral into an inevitable clan war between the factions.<ref name="SoT" /> Though most Hutts fled from Nal Hutta, some of those that remained behind were desperate in finding some new means of negotiating with the Yuuzhan Vong with such efforts being led by Borga the Hutt. To accomplish such a feat, she asked her son [[Randa Besadii Diori]] on [[Duro/Legends|Duro]] to offer Jedi on on the planet to [[Warmaster]] [[Tsavong Lah]] on the condition the Hutts be allowed to settle on Tatooine.<ref name="BP" /> By [[26 ABY]] there was a [[Hutt underground]] operating against the Yuuzhan Vong, with [[Booster Terrik]] supplying them with weapons. With the Yuuzhan Vong's defeat in [[29 ABY/Legends|29 ABY]], the Hutts reasserted control over many of their worlds particularly Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa and sought to dominate regional reconstruction efforts.{{Fact}}

The devastation inflicted on the Hutts made it seem that they were finished as masters of the criminal underworld. However, in the years that followed, spacers revealed that the organisms created from the Vongforming process died or became sickly on many Hutt worlds. As a result, scientists from the Galactic Alliance attempted to negotiate access to such worlds that displayed such resistance. At the same time, the Hutt clans moved slowly to regain their former influence. The Yuuzhan Vong War taught a terrible lesson to the Hutts who began to alter the fundamental aspect of the ''kajidic'' philosophy. Whilst the ''kajidic'' led to the Hutt's becoming rich, it did not save them from the Yuuzhan Vong and thus they concluded that another such adversary may appear in the future in which case they needed to prepare to combat. In time, an astonished galaxy bore witness to armed starships that appeared on the spacelanes that were of Hutt design. Amongst cantinas, word spread of strange, bulbous vessels which moved through the routes of the central hutt worlds where they followed an ancient network of jump beacons. However, many dismissed such claims though sightings did indicate something profound had affected Hutt Space.<ref name="EGW" />

[[File:TheHuttFleet_EGTW.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The new Hutt fleet.]]
In [[39 ABY]], Hutts refused to join the [[Five Worlds]] and remained independent from both the Five Worlds and the [[Galactic Federation of Free Alliances|Galactic Alliance]]. However in [[40 ABY]], when the [[Confederation]] was formed, the Hutts joined the organization, and [[41 ABY|eventually]] they themselves joined the members of the Oversector during the [[Second Galactic Civil War|great conflict]] with some kajidics, who only remained in Bootana Hutta, contributed warships.<ref name="TEA" /> It was during this time that Hutt warships supported Confederation actions such as those at [[Balmorra/Legends|Balmorra]] and [[Kuat/Legends|Kuat]]. In these engagements, Hutt warships proved capable in battle though all attempts at analyzing the wreckage of destroyed vessels failed as they contained built-in self-destruct sequences. Following the conclusion of the Second Galactic Civil War, [[Corellian/Legends|Corellian]] and [[Commenor/Legends|Commenori]] naval officers offered little insight on their former allies technology or military hierarchy. This was because they had dealt exclusively with intermediaries from the Hutt slave races thus little was known of the changes that went through Hutt Space. As a result, the possibility of renewed Hutt militarism became a disquieting prospect for the galaxy.<ref name="EGW" />

During [[44 ABY]], after the [[Lost Tribe of Sith|Sith of the Lost Tribe]] desecrated the [[Fountain of Ancients]] on Klatooine, the Klatooinians called a meeting to determine whether the Treaty of Vontor had been violated, as the Hutts had promised to safeguard the Fountain. Despite the best efforts of [[Tooga Jallissi Gral]], who represented the Hutts, and the ruling of [[Jaina Solo Fel|Jaina Solo]] and [[Lando Calrissian/Legends|Lando Calrissian]], who were acting as arbitrators, the Klatooinians decided that the Treaty had been violated and was now null and void, and they, the Nikto, and the Vodran threw out their Hutt masters, along with slaves throughout the galaxy who rebelled against their own masters.<ref name="Allies" />

====Legacy Era====
[[File:Queen_Jool.png|thumb|left|220px|[[Queen/Legends|Queen]] [[Jool]].]]
By [[130 ABY]], the Hutts had reasserted control over Nar Shaddaa and rebuilding that what was once destroyed. During the reign of [[Darth Krayt]], the Hutts kept pressure on Imperial bureaucrats in the form of bribes and threats of violence. Such acts gave the Smugglers' Moon some respite from Imperial authority. Even though no member of the [[One Sith]] ruled the planet, the Hutt's kept a wary eye for Jedi and other individuals on [[Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire|the Empire's]] bounty list. Bounty hunters were often sent after such individuals and turned over to the Imperials that kept them content whilst still lining the Hutts coffers.<ref name="LECG">''[[Legacy Era Campaign Guide]]''</ref> One notable Hutt of the era was [[Queen/Legends|Queen]] [[Jool]] who owned [[Rik's Cantina/Legends|Rik's Cantina]] on [[Coruscant/Legends|Coruscant]].<ref name="Leg 14">[[Legacy (2006) 14|''Legacy'' (2006) 14]]</ref>

By [[137 ABY]], the new Galactic Empire under the control of the One Sith had usurped control of the Galaxy. For unknown reasons, Hutt Space provided covert help to the [[Galactic Alliance Remnant]], one of the new Empire's major opponents. Later, the Sith's [[Devastation of Da Soocha|poisoning]] of Da Soocha and the destruction of the Hutt Temple [[Maya Armus]] on [[Napdu]] prompted the Hutts into entering the conflict against the Sith on the side of the Alliance and Imperials.<ref name="SWL48">[[Legacy (2006) 48|''Legacy'' (2006) 48]]</ref>

==Hutts in the galaxy==
{{Quote|I conclude that they have taken him to the Hutt planet Nal Hutta.|[[Quinlan Vos/Legends|Quinlan Vos]], on Ziro's escape|<ref name="HFZ" />}}
The Hutts were known to have several hideouts in remote, scarcely populated planets of the Outer Rim Territories.<ref name="BL" /> Spice was one resource that the Hutts were known to extract and distribute throughout the galaxy.<ref name="UA">''[[Ultimate Adversaries]]''</ref>

All members of the species did not engage in business and criminal enterprises as some became respected beings in the galaxy such as [[Doctor/Legends|Doctor]] [[Juvard Illip Oggurobb]] who was a famed scientist in the galaxy around [[3638 BBY]] who was the five-time winner of the [[Bao-Dur Science Prize]].<ref name="SW:TOR:RotHC" />

Around five hundred years before the [[Battle of Naboo/Legends|Battle of Naboo]], some Hutts sold two hundred nine obsolete [[Ubrikkian Industries/Legends|Ubrikkian]] [[222 fishing trawler]]s to [[Hugo Bartyn]], with a great discount. Bartyn used them to get seafood in [[Lamaredd/Legends|Lamaredd]] and sold it back to the Hutts, who happened to enjoy it. When a union threatened to stop the influx of seafood, while orders from the Hutts were to be served, Bartyn feared that the Hutts could take over Lamaredd as a retaliation.<ref name="BL" />

In [[65 BBY/Legends|65 BBY]], Hutt influence spread onto the planet Tatooine where they arrived on a world after the mining industry had collapsed amongst the natives. Despite their reputation, the inhabitants economy greatly boosted as their influence with both trade as well as employment greatly increasing as the result of the Hutts. The original Hutts settled at [[Mos Espa/Legends|Mos Espa]] where they worked in the shadows to establish drug and smuggling activities. In time, practices such as slavery and indentured servitude became a common practice on Tatooine until the point that the Hutts became part of the planet's society. In time, it became dominated the five families namely the Besadii, Desilijic, [[Faljozic]], [[Jahibakti]] and [[Nasirii]] with Tatooine being considered a long affiliated Hutt world that adopted their currency. Large numbers of Hutts fled to Tatooine during the Yuuzhan Vong War after Nal Hutta was devastated.<ref name="SoT" />

By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Hutts were known to have visited [[Cloud City/Legends|Cloud City]] on a regular basis during the time when Jabba the Hutt owned the [[Holiday Towers]] Hotel and Casino. However, after his death, Cloud City took possession of the building and all the free-spending Hutt gamblers stopped visiting the city as they did not feel welcomed by the new establishment. As such, the Hutts almost never visited Cloud City with such occurrences being rare moments.<ref name="ZHR" />

==Technology==
{{Quote|A Hutt without a sail barge is like a smoke moth without wings.|Translated from Huttese|<ref name="TNEGVV">''[[The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels]]''</ref>}}
In general, the Hutts were known not for being inventors, manufacturers or builders but as businessmen who connected those beings that required a service being rendered to those capable of accomplishing such a task.<ref name="NEGTAS" /> There was no real information on the level of technology that the Hutts developed themselves. All that was known was that they made use of some of the most recent advances in galactic technology. In fact, they were able to acquire these advances through theft and duplicity long before they were offered to galactic governments.<ref name="GG4:AR" />

During their reign on Varl, the Hutts had very few servant species and instead relied on droids for a variety of purposes such as [[Hutt security droid|security]] and [[Hutt war droid|battle droids]]. Between the two, the security droids resembled tin mechanical Hutts that were simple but served as efficient and tireless guards. The latter of these were powerful mechanized warriors that once roamed the surface of Varl in ancient times.<ref name="TF" /> In the Cold War era, the Hutt Cartel commissioned the construction of [[AR-34 enforcer droid]]s that were designed as security droids but instead became used as debt-collectors for Hutt-affiliated gangsters.<ref name="SWTOR" />

Weapon technology included ancient [[Planechanga]]s that fired asteroids at planet-cracking velocities.<ref name="EGW" /> Vehicles such as the [[Pongeeta-class swamp speeder|''Pongeeta''-class swamp speeders]] were modern takes on ancient Hutt fanboats.<ref name="SW:TCW:IV">''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Incredible Vehicles]]''</ref> Wealthy Hutts were known to favor the use of sail barges.<ref name="TNEGVV" />

In the time of the Clone Wars, Hutt families made use of [[HH-87 Starhopper/Legends|HH-87 Starhoppers]] as long range starfighters. These craft had strong prows and visible armor plates that indicated aggressive attributes that were admired by the Hutts. Thus, they used the Starhopper's to patrol the skies of Nal Hutta.<ref name="databank">{{SWE|technology|hh87starhopper|HH-87 Starhopper}}</ref> During the age of the Galactic Empire, the Hutt crime organizations were known to have commissioned the construction of numerous starfighters from MandalorMotors. These included custom series designs such as the lightly-armored interceptor [[M3-A Scyk fighter]], custom [[M12-L Kimogila heavy fighter]] and the more capable and heavily armored [[G1-M4-C Dunelizard fighter]].<ref name="SWG" />

Hutt starships included [[Seltiss-2 caravel|caravels]] that were roomy shuttles generally used to transport their kind from Nal Hutta to the moon of Nar Shaddaa. However, sometimes they were known to use these craft to patrol worlds in order to maintain a strong presence at such planets. Hutts tended to hate conformity and standardization which was why no two caravels were alike as their owners customized them to suit their personal taste. Hutt patrol ships were an exception to this rule, as they were purely military vessels designed to watch over Hutt interests.<ref name="TF" /> The [[Zorba Express]] was noted for being a Huttian starship design style which had a bell-shaped form with a large door that allowed a Hutt easy entry or exit from the craft.<ref name="ZHR" />

Ancient Xim era vessels included [[Tarrada|Tarrada cruisers]] that were used in the Battle of Vontor.<ref name="XW:TD" /> By the Cold War era, one noted capital ship used by the race were [[Azalus-class Hutt dreadnaught|''Azalus''-class Hutt dreadnaughts]].<ref name="SWTOR" /> During the [[Galactic War]], [[Ajuur-class heavy cruiser|''Ajuur''-class heavy cruisers]] were used by the Hutt Cartel to blockade the planet Makeb.<ref name="SW:TOR:RotHC" /> In the Second Galactic Civil War, Hutt ships included the ''[[Chelandion]]'' type cruisers and ''[[Batil]]'' style gunships.<ref name="EGW" />

==Common Hutt names==
*Issulla<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" />
*Grondo<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" />
*Yarella<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" />
*Zordo<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" />
*Grubo<ref name="Ultimate Alien Anthology" />
The proper way to address a Hutt was 'Almighty One'.<ref name="The Paradise Snare">''[[The Paradise Snare]]''</ref>

==Behind the scenes==
[[File:CA_17931794.png|thumb|150px|An x-ray view of Jabba's hypothetical skeleton.]]
Like a few other terms relating to Tatooine and its inhabitants, the word "Hutt" was derived by George Lucas from Arabic, in this case, the word '' حوت'' ''ḥawt'', meaning "whale".{{Fact}}

Though most sources state that Hutts have no bones (as is the case with real-life gastropods), study art was drawn for ''The Phantom Menace'' showing Jabba's skeleton.

On the [[Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi|''Return of the Jedi'']] tape included in the 1997 [[The Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition]], [[George Lucas]] detailed that the word Hutt was originally going to just be [[Jabba Desilijic Tiure/Legends|Jabba Desilijic Tiure's]] gangster title, but was eventually changed to indicate Jabba's species.

The cancelled novel [[Alien Exodus]], would have shown the origins of the Hutts, the larvae of the [[Alien Exodus|Varlians]], insectoid aliens, thanks to a plague continue to grow, without entering the next state of its life cycle, becoming monstrous beings, of five meters long, cruel and greedy, being as are known the Hutts in the Galaxy.

In many languages, the phrase "[Name] the Hutt" is translated as "[Name] ''of'' Hutt."{{Fact}}
