| − | The '''Hutt Cartel''', also known as '''The Cartel''' or the '''Zuuma Kajidic''', is a [[Wikipedia:Sultanate|criminal sultanate]] led by [[Hutt]]s which employs mercenaries and smugglers of various species. Although its foundation date occurred on [[Year 10|Year 10 Day 57]], the Cartel claims symbolic descent from the earlier [[Hutt Council]] organized by the legendary [[Angobba the Hutt]] circa [[Year 3|Year 3 Day 81]].<ref name="Founded"/> The perennial ruler of the Cartel is the vile gangster, [[Voragga Zuuma|Voragga the Hutt]]. His second-in-command is Tobba Nokko. The ramshackle organization is staffed by a diverse lineup of [[:Category:Cartel Henchmen|repugnant henchmen]] including [[Gamorrean]] thugs and [[Rodian]] enforcers. Currently, the [[Kubaz]]i assassin [[Qaun Wain]] serves as the [[Wikipedia:Majordomo|Majordomo]] of the Cartel and thus supervises its day-to-day operations, with the [[Duros]] star-pilot [[Feth Ophoxi]] as his Grand Vizier.

| − | 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 The Cartel's military is a superficially-loyal and poorly-equipped security force that consists of dimwitted guards, outdated vehicles, and obsolete starfighters.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 deathsticks, 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. |
| − | [[Image:Voragga Zuuma Avatar.png|130px|thumb|'''[[Voragga Zuuma Ajurr]]''' formed the Cartel from the ashes of the forgotten [[Hutt Council]].]]
| |
| − | 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. |

| − | ===Disreputable Origins===
| |
| − | {{Main|The Hutt Council|Black Sun Crisis}}
| |
| − | [[Image:Angobba the Hutt Avatar.png|130px|thumb|'''[[Angobba Desilijic Lucar]]''' founded and governed the earlier [[Hutt Council]] in [[Year 3]].]]
| |
| − | During a more civilized age when the [[Old Republic]] reigned, [[Hutt Space|the dominion of the Hutts]] encompassed 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)|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 [[Emperor]] [[Charon]]'s [[Galactic Empire]] and the encroachment of [[Eidola Pirates]] into Hutt Space, the Hutt Council led by [[Angobba Desilijic Lucar]] lost its power and disappeared by [[Year 5]]. This decline only changed with the emergence of the Zuuma kajidic led by [[Voragga the Hutt]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | Renowned for his carnal appetite and penchant for [[Wikipedia:Lollipop|lolly-licking]] [[Twi'leki|Twi'leki slave girls]], Voragga had been an esteemed member of Angobba's Hutt Council. Allegedly, he had been the strategic architect behind the Council's bloody feud against Dark Prince [[Qel Dar]]'s [[Black Sun|Black Sun crime syndicate]]. Thanks to an earlier business alliance with Rahm Zarkov's fearsome Lumini Pirates in [[Year 2]], the Hutt had a large coffer of Imperial credits, and he decided to establish "a cartel or, at the very least, a restaurant chain" from the charred ashes of Angobba's collective.
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | Joining Voragga in his impulsive endeavor was his shrewd cousin, Tobba the Hutt, the leader of the Nokko kajidic. A rare exception among the Hutt clans, the Nokko kajidic abstains from criminal affairs. The associates of the Nokko kajidic dwell in small outposts dispersed throughout the galaxy and their livelihood is derived from commercial pacts with other species. Their kajidic became famous for their financial skills as venture capitalists and they specialized in gaining "absolute returns" on their investments. 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.
| + | ===Membership=== |
| | | | |
| − | Thus, under the auspices of Voragga and Tobba, the Hutt Council was re-established and the Cartel was hastily launched. However, neither Voragga nor his cousin Tobba would 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.
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Early Misadventures===
| + | It is said that individuals who join Hutt Cartel first become Hired Blasters (Mercenaries), before being allowed to become a Kung (Prospect/Uninitiated Member). From there little is known of the Cartel ranking system, only that actions in the criminal organization bring cause for promotion. |
| − | {{Main|Galactic Intelligence Agency}}
| |
| − | Circa [[Year 10]], the Hutt Cartel was tentatively headquartered on Kailor II in the Lytton Sector situated within the [[Core Worlds]], a vibrant region that contained some of the most prestigious, well-developed, and heavily populated planets in [[the galaxy]]. Voragga Zuuma Ajurr quickly exhausted his limited finances to acquire a slow fleet of shabby freighters such as [[YT-1300]]s, [[YT-2000]]s, and [[YT-2400]]s in order to provide transportation for his inexperienced, less-than-intelligent employees. Offering high salaries and low expectations, Voragga levied a motley crew of petty thieves, interstellar vagabonds, and former convicts to serve his every depraved whim. Notable recruits from this era included [[Asmo Bodan]], Dessel Katarn, [[Elden Payne]], Galen Kesser, Kun Zhi Hui, Mac Vasco, Turien Malakait, Xander Ffnargon, and [[Vosh Omega]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | During this era, an equally-inept crime syndicate known as the [[Galactic Intelligence Agency]] unwisely attempted on [[Year 10|Year 10 Day 184]] to establish a foothold on a neighboring planet in the Kailor system. Annoyed by their clumsy incursion, Voragga surreptitiously declared war upon the Agency. After infiltrating its ranks, the Cartel publicly unmasked the Agency's schemes to embezzle various businessmen and succeeded in black-listing its prominent leaders from the trading community. As a more vindictive rebuke, a Cartel henchman — [[Azalus Outmian]] — executed one of the Agency's personnel, cut off his ear with a vibro-knife, and placed the gory appendage at the entrance of the Agency's Command Center. Shortly thereafter, the Agency dissolved on [[Year 10|Year 10 Day 188]] and Voragga hosted a victory banquet at his desert alcazar.

| − | ===The Special Prize===
| |
| − | On [[Year 11|Year 11 Day 72]], Voragga announced via a subspace transmission that a "special prize" giveaway would be held for recruits on Kailor II. Excited and greedy, over-a-dozen Cartel recruits hurried to the specified location. These recruits included Hanzo Lunati, Savin Marnazo, Jaz Vek, Sarvind Windfield, Zukuto Kasani, Jax Pavon, Xela Stihl, Galen Kesser, and others. Voragga's reputation for stinginess made each hasten to be the first to arrive as no one wished to leave empty-handed. Tellingly, wiser veterans of the Cartel politely declined to come, but nonetheless thanked Voragga for his immense generosity. After the greedy minions arrived at the designed facility to receive their "special prize," a hitherto unseen array of newly-installed door-locks barred their departure. Confused and frightened, the henchmen desperately tried to exit but could not do so. Voragga explained via the facility intercom that vibro-blades, stun-cuffs, and various utilitarian devices had been randomly positioned throughout the monolithic structure. In a predictable twist, the Hutt revealed that ''only one'' individual would be permitted to exit alive after eradicating the other goons. A torrent of wrathful curses, mercy pleas, and philosophical musings spewed forth from the trapped goons in the facility. Chuckling over the intercom, Voragga informed them that such outbursts were truly useless and to utilize their now-precious time in order to survive.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the ensuing frenzy, over-a-dozen recruits frantically attempted to murder each other. One individual bravely hid aboard a [[YT-1300|YT-1300 freighter]] parked in the facility's Docking Bay but was eliminated by other killers who likewise had open-access to the starship. Another pathetic creature briefly forestalled his doom by sealing himself within a long corridor of blast-doors using a lock-installation kit. Unfortunately, others had found lock-breaking devices and eventually reached him. In the most pitiful case, one Cartel henchman tried to cuff [[Gand|a Gand opponent]], but utterly failed to do so due to his own clumsy inexperience. He wept aloud and begged Voragga via the intercom to allow him to escape. His Gand adversary emotionally consoled him before taking his ear with a vibro-knife.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Three of the trapped "contestants" — Hanzo Lunati, Zukuto Kasani, and Xela Stihl — secretly formed a temporary alliance in order to defeat the other goons skulking in the labyrinthine facility. Despite their formidable alliance, one thug proved to be stronger, stealthier, and craftier than all of the trio's combined efforts. Constantly shifting from room-to-room and employing a variety of creative ploys, this skilled thug known as Galen Kesser surprisingly dispatched Lunati, Stihl, and Kasani. In the final showdown, Kesser convinced Kasani that he was now resigned to his ignominious fate and feigned surrender. When Kasani over-confidently approached his presumed location, Kesser stealthily ambushed him in a chamber filled with storage crates. With his last breaths, Kasani cursed Kesser, Voragga, the Cartel, and life in general.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Several days passed. On [[Year 11|Year 11 Day 76]], when the screams and sounds of struggle had finally subsided, the facility's blast-doors were unlocked and gingerly opened. Many ear-less corpses were found inside. The lone blood-spattered survivor — Galen Kesser — was declared the obvious victor. Later, kneeling before the Hutt overlord, Kesser pledged eternal fealty to Voragga and the Cartel. The legacy of this strange contest on Kailor II would reverberate for years thereafter in the Cartel's malodorous ranks. Many spoke in awe of Kesser's prowess, while some observers insisted the contest had been unfairly rigged.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===A New Home===
| |
| − | Later in [[Year 11]], [[Emperor]] [[Vodo Bonias]] soon expanded his iron-fisted hegemony to the Kailor system. With Imperial fleets now monitoring the system and armored stormtroopers patrolling the planetary streets, the Cartel decided to shutter its operations and, using the major rimward hyper-lanes, speedily relocated to the Outer Rim Territories.

- This article is about the Year 23 Zann Consortium Faction. For its defunct predecessor, see Hutt Cartel (Year 5).
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.
Membership
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.
It is said that individuals who join Hutt Cartel first become Hired Blasters (Mercenaries), before being allowed to become a Kung (Prospect/Uninitiated Member). From there little is known of the Cartel ranking system, only that actions in the criminal organization bring cause for promotion.
