Description

The Hutt Grand Council, also called the Council of Elders, is the ruling political body of Nal Hutta, and guiding hand of the powerful Hutt species. Reformed in the wake of a war and ashes from an old council, the Hutt Grand Council is a confederation of the most prominent Hutt Kajidics, or Clans. The Council exists to promote Hutt nationalism, philosophy, and interests. Hutts on the Council are equals, but respect is paramount to the most venerable of the Hutts.

History

The history of the Hutt race is a long proud one, with their influence spanning thousands of years, before the formation of the Republic. Incarnations of government have existed in the forms of a Hutt Empire, an oligarchy, even dictatorships. In more recent times, since the rising of the Galactic Empire, the Hutt clans have come together to form a Council of Elders, with each Hutt clan getting representation.

The current established Hutt Grand Council is a new one, forming from the dark ages when the past Hutt Council ceased to exist. During this time, Nal Hutta became a haven of pirate activity. In this time, the Hutts themselves had little to nothing to do with each other. Hutts had forgotten their once strong sense of loyalty to the species. While Hutt Space flourished, Hutts as a whole did not. This dark age lasted for years. While the Hutts were disorganized, an ancient enemy showed its face: Mandalore. The Mandalorians attacked Hutt Space, attempting to take control of the sector. A brutal war raged across the stars, the Eidola Pirates, and their allies vs The Mandalorian clans.

During this time, two Hutts came together and saw a need for a strong unified race, to be able to withstand this onslaught from the Mandalorians. Pirate lord and Governor of Nal Hutta, Percilia the Hutt, approached newly appointed Gejalli Kajidic Lorda, Forkallo the Hutt, with a idea of a unified race. Over time, the bloody war ended with Mandalore retreating from Nal Hutta. Percilia and Forkallo, saw that the time was right to reorganize and resurrect the Council of Elders, proclaiming it the Hutt Grand Council. With a war in the past, and Hutt idealism at a high, Percilia and Forkallo began to recruit other Hutts to their council.

A new golden age has begun, with prominent Hutts of the Galaxy representing their clans interest on the Council, the future is bright for the Hutt race.

Laws

Section 1. Blood & Slime Laws (Laws between Hutts)

1. No Hutt shall actively attempt to undermine, damage, or kill another Hutt, Kajidic, or Clan, who is on good standing with the species, whether it be through political, commercial, or military actions. The consequences for this action require the most extreme forms of punishment. (ostracism, bankruptcy, death)

2. All Hutts will obey decisions and rulings by the Hutt Grand Council, as the Council by nature will decree only the most just, and righteous laws by Hutt standards.

3. All Hutts will be provided opporunity to voice concerns to the Hutt Grand Council, anytime the council convenes.

4. All Hutts are welcome to construct a Palace on the Hutt Throneworld of Nal Hutta. Materials may be provided by the Council if petitioned, but those wishing to create a Palace should fund the project themselves.

Section 2. Hutt Grand Council By-Laws

1. The Council will always be comprised of an odd number of seats, to prevent a tie in votes.

2. Hutt Grand Council seats are available by vacancy only, to those Hutts who have established themselves politically or commerical as a Hutt of power, leader of an established Kajidic, and the ability to trace his blood lines to Varl. Elders can give up their seats willingly, or under the most extreme circumstances be taken out by a majority vote of the current Council. The Council reserves the right to create more seats, as the species prospers and grows.

3. The Council reserves the right to amend these laws at anytime.

Section 3. Old Law

1. The "Old Law" is the only known exception to aforementioned laws. It allows the recognized leader of a Hutt kajidic to challenge the recognized leader of another kajidic to personal one-on-one mortal combat, in the case sufficient provocation has been offered by the challengee to the challenger. The victor of the duel would be recognized as having right on his side, and would not be prosecuted for killing a fellow Hutt.
