The ramshackle organization is staffed by a diverse lineup of [[:Category:Cartel Henchmen|repugnant henchmen]] including [[Gamorrean]] thugs and [[Rodian]] enforcers.

| − | The Cartel is rumored to possess a large independent army, and the Cartel offers this private military on the open market. The Cartel's military is a superficially-loyal and poorly-equipped security force that consists of dimwitted guards, outdated vehicles, and obsolete starfighters. The Cartel also specializes in obtaining illicit goods that have been prudishly outlawed by the various galactic regimes. If an individual wishes to obtain contraband such as [[deathstick]]s, insanity-causing holopuzzles, or Giggledust, they should consider the Hutt Cartel as a possible source. Last but not least, special customers occasionally receive the pleasurable services of the organization's [[Twi'leki]] dancing girls. | + | ===Sordid History and Current reality=== |
| | + | Originally lead by Voragga Zuuma Ajurr, colloquially known as "Vorraga The Hutt", the organization Hutt Cartel briefly rose to prominence and then fell from grace not long after . In it's time it was overseen by various MajorDomo's, following Zuuma's failure to compete with more crafty and volatile rivals. As a struggling shell of it's former existance, in it's later years the Hutt Cartel was believed to be a puppet of the mercenary government, Aurodium Legion. With its turbulent lifespan the Hutt Cartel remained barely intact by threads, before being eliminated by another family within it's own society, "The Hutt Clan". Striving for independence it's leader Crime Boss, Burgga Kostijic Mafa, waged war on the cartel taking assets and absorbing business operations. The remenants of the Cartel, later transformed the shadowy operation into the"Hutt Clan Consortium". |
| | | | |
| − | ==Overview==
| + | It was here the Hutt Clan Consortium began to rise up among other slithering creatures of Nal Hutta as a decently respected slime rancher making his existence known across the every back alley and civilized area known to all sentient beings alike. With a continued annexation of HC territory and more real estate and mercenaries from around the galaxy, Burgga became incredibly arrogant and confident. Then Mafa began to expand his influence in effort to see his clan reign as the premiere crime outfit. Dipping his grubby fingers into illegal trade, theft , smuggling and even bounty hunting the Hutt Kingpin had it all with allies like the Freebooters Alliance at the back of his tail. |

| |
| − | From the darkened alleyways of [[Mos Eisley]] to the crowded spaceports of [[Corellia]], the scoundrels who lurk in the galaxy's underworld come in all shapes and sizes. Some are Human, and some not. Some thrive within the [[Core Worlds]] of the [[Galactic Empire]], while others subsist in the backwater systems of the [[Outer Rim]]. A few are deadly assassins, while most are cowardly thugs. Common to all, however, is the desire to make a fast credit, regardless of how many innocent sentient beings are harmed in the process.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The Hutt Cartel is a wretched hive for such ilk and is seeking the scum of [[the galaxy]] to augment its ranks. To join, one must be willing to fraternize with Zygerrian slavers, spice-smugglers, bounty hunters, gun runners, [[Rodian]] enforcers, slimy double-crossing no-good swindlers, and anyone else the Hutts do business with. The Cartel bumps uglies with the lowest of the low and you must accept that. Above all, one must be willing to serve and to obey the vile gangster, [[Voragga Zuuma Ajurr]], the grand overlord of this criminal sultanate.
| + | Unstopoable is what Burgga thought himself as he then privately and publcily launched a series of attacks against cime syndicate Zann Consortium. Actions, Mafa was not prepared to defend against from retaliation, and would later be his demise. |
| | | | |
| − | Filthy and corpulent, Voragga the Hutt rules the Cartel with an iron fist from his [[Wikipedia:Alcazar|desert alcazar]] on wind-swept Reltooine. Renowned for his carnal appetite and penchant for [[Wikipedia:Lollipop|licking]] Twi'leki slave girls, Voragga is a shrewd businessman and a powerful voice among the Hutt clans. However, both Voragga and his more reputable cousin Tobba Nokko would never condescend to manage the daily operations of the Cartel. Instead, they hired an underpaid majordomo to dutifully steward their business affairs. As majordomo, the steward oversees certain projects on behalf of other individuals; in this case, those individuals are the Hutts. Under his tenure, the group has expanded its lucrative activities from selling [[Zeltron|Zeltron pornography]] to peddling the finest death-sticks in the galaxy, one hundred percent pure.
| + | Within less than 1 standard year, the clan quickly lost nearly all its muscle. Then they would lose influence and ultimately , Mafa would disappear and be found suspiciously cryogenically frozen following various hostile actions from Zann agents retaliating against the crumbling HCC. His body paraded by Zann leaders around his palace, following the loss of his organization. |

| − | ==History==
| + | It was here, under Zann Consortium control, Circle (Racket Boss) member Hondo Walker was appointed by his peers to liquidate the factions assets and work force. However, Hondo had other plans and made his case to Crime Lord of Zann, Ximaro Jix. Hondo then announced publicly he would continue running Zann's trafficking network under the reborn Hutt Cartel banner bringing back its grass roots of black marketing, slicing, smuggling and the Trandoshan's own trades of racketeering, slaving and illicit drug distribution. |
| − | ===Origins===
| |
| − | {{Main|The Hutt Council}}
| |
| − | [[Image:Angobba the Hutt Avatar.png|140px|thumb|'''[[Angobba Desilijic Lucar]]''' governed the earlier [[Hutt Council]] in [[Year 3]].]]
| |
| − | During a more civilized age when the [[Old Republic]] reigned, the Cartel was a vast syndicate that encompassed all of [[Hutt Space]], a dangerous swath of [[the galaxy]] between the [[Mid Rim]] and the [[Outer Rim Territories]]. A grand Hutt Council controlled the region by overseeing the activities of the Hutt clans — ''kajidics'' — and their business syndicates. Their capital was located in the [[Y’toub system]] and was called [[Nal Hutta]] which translates as Glorious Jewel in Huttese. The terrestrial bog-world of Nal Hutta was owned by the Hutt kajidics who also ruled its orbiting satellite, [[Nar Shaddaa]], colloquially known as The Smuggler's Moon. Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa were once the center of a popular galactic trade route. This was before the dark times, of course, before the Empire. With the rise of the [[Galactic Empire]] and the encroachment of [[Eidola Pirates]] into Hutt Space, the Cartel began to fall into ruin and disrepair. Within two years, the Hutt Council led by [[Angobba Desilijic Lucar]] lost its power and virtually disappeared. This decline changed with the emergence of the Zuuma kajidic led by [[Voragga the Hutt]]. Renowned for his carnal appetite and penchant for licking [[Twi'leki]] slave girls, Voragga is a shrewd businessman and a powerful voice in the Hutt Cartel. the Zuuma kajidic is not afraid to dirty its three-fingered hands. This smaller clan controls pleasure dens and safe houses on various planets. They also dabble in the arms business and control a portion of the spice trade.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Joining Voragga in his endeavor was his distant cousin and shrewd associate, [[Tobba the Hutt]], the leader of the Nokko kajidic. The Nokko kajidic is a rare exception among the Hutt clans because it abstains from criminal affairs. The members of the Nokko kajidic dwell in small outposts scattered throughout the galaxy and their livelihood is derived from business arrangements with other species. Their kajidic became famous for their financial skills as investors and traders. However, due to widespread prejudice against the Hutts, rumors still persist that the Nokko kajidic specializes in money-laundering, spice-smuggling, gun-running, chattel-slavery, and other shady matters. Together, the Zuuma and Nokko kajidics forged a business alliance and restored the Hutt Cartel to its rightful place as the parasite of galactic trade. Together with his distant cousin and vitriolic competitor of Tobba Nokko, Voragga assumed leadership of the Hutt Cartel. Under his auspices, the Hutt Council was re-established and the Cartel reinvigorated. However, both Voragga and his cousin Tobba would never condescend to managing the mundane day-to-day operations of their sultanate. Instead, they hired an underpaid majordomo to do so. Specifically, a majordomo is the head person of a domestic staff and serves an absentee owner of a typically large residence, plantation, or corporation.
| + | ===Membership=== |
| | | | |
| − | ==Leadership==
| + | Hutt Cartel has a large contingent of various races, even Hutts that serve as guards, mercenaries, raiders, and even smugglers for the cartel. However, the new reptilians management have decreed, no Hutt shall rule the Kadijic (syndicate) ever again, so Hutts are the only marginalized of race due to their historical mistreatment of other sentient species. |

Sordid History and Current reality
Originally lead by Voragga Zuuma Ajurr, colloquially known as "Vorraga The Hutt", the organization Hutt Cartel briefly rose to prominence and then fell from grace not long after . In it's time it was overseen by various MajorDomo's, following Zuuma's failure to compete with more crafty and volatile rivals. As a struggling shell of it's former existance, in it's later years the Hutt Cartel was believed to be a puppet of the mercenary government, Aurodium Legion. With its turbulent lifespan the Hutt Cartel remained barely intact by threads, before being eliminated by another family within it's own society, "The Hutt Clan". Striving for independence it's leader Crime Boss, Burgga Kostijic Mafa, waged war on the cartel taking assets and absorbing business operations. The remenants of the Cartel, later transformed the shadowy operation into the"Hutt Clan Consortium".
It was here the Hutt Clan Consortium began to rise up among other slithering creatures of Nal Hutta as a decently respected slime rancher making his existence known across the every back alley and civilized area known to all sentient beings alike. With a continued annexation of HC territory and more real estate and mercenaries from around the galaxy, Burgga became incredibly arrogant and confident. Then Mafa began to expand his influence in effort to see his clan reign as the premiere crime outfit. Dipping his grubby fingers into illegal trade, theft , smuggling and even bounty hunting the Hutt Kingpin had it all with allies like the Freebooters Alliance at the back of his tail.
Unstopoable is what Burgga thought himself as he then privately and publcily launched a series of attacks against cime syndicate Zann Consortium. Actions, Mafa was not prepared to defend against from retaliation, and would later be his demise.
Within less than 1 standard year, the clan quickly lost nearly all its muscle. Then they would lose influence and ultimately , Mafa would disappear and be found suspiciously cryogenically frozen following various hostile actions from Zann agents retaliating against the crumbling HCC. His body paraded by Zann leaders around his palace, following the loss of his organization.
It was here, under Zann Consortium control, Circle (Racket Boss) member Hondo Walker was appointed by his peers to liquidate the factions assets and work force. However, Hondo had other plans and made his case to Crime Lord of Zann, Ximaro Jix. Hondo then announced publicly he would continue running Zann's trafficking network under the reborn Hutt Cartel banner bringing back its grass roots of black marketing, slicing, smuggling and the Trandoshan's own trades of racketeering, slaving and illicit drug distribution.
