The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

1970. Civil War in Hutt Space (Part 1)

(I have almost forgotten about the Hutts... I will spend two chapters here to outline the line of the Hutt civil war, and briefly explain the affairs of the Hutts during the Clone Wars. That is to say, Tang Xiao’s influence Next, why did the Hutts break out into civil war.)

Under the leadership of Oruba, the Gorensla family secretly clung to Tang Xiao's line.

In fact, for the Hutts who are now divided, they have long been riddled with penetration by external forces.

During the Galactic Republic, Palpatine was secretly wooing Jabba. When Jabba suffered a big loss on Tatooine and almost lost his position in the Desiligic family, the Hutt underworld boss The guy finally bowed his head to Palpatine.

At this time, the five-member Supreme Council of the Hutts consisted of Kiriak and Jabba from the Desiligic family, Alok from the Besadi family, Marlow from the Kunalak family, and Gorensla family. Oruba.

However, the struggle within the Desiligic family is also very complicated. When Tang Xiao used the opportunity to destroy the Black Sun, he hooked up with Ziro the Hutt who was one of the nine Vigos of the Black Sun and was also Jabba's uncle. .

(PS: Although the Hutts are not strictly hermaphrodites, they can change their gender according to different situations...so this race is super ghostly beasts in every sense. That's why you saw me say Ziro It’s Jabba’s uncle, but don’t be surprised when I keep referring to her as ‘her’. This is not a typo.)

Ziro, who was expelled from the family at that time and had a very difficult life, went back to find her and Jabba's father, Zorba, who was imprisoned, with Tang Xiao's secret support. Then Zorba and Ziro returned to the Desiligic family to launch a counterattack, causing the Desiligic family to split.

Then, Kiliak, the current leader of the Desiligic family, could only form an alliance with Jabba to fight against Zorba and Ziro. In order to resist the pressure from Ziro and the Besadi family at the same time, they had to get closer and closer to Palpatine.

So at this time, the strength of the Desiligic family, which received external support, continued to expand. This was reflected in the five-person Supreme Council of the Hutts, and its members became Kiriak, Jabba, and others from the Desiligic family. Ziro supported by Zorba, then Alok of the Besadi family, and Marlow of the Kunalak family. The Gorensla family faded away from the highest authority.

Similarly, after the death of the former leader of the Besadi family, Alok Besadii, Aruk Besadii became the leader. This ruthless man who can be called a generational hero has long seen through the conspiracy of external forces to infiltrate the Hutt forces, so he has been trying to find ways to maintain the independence of the Besadi family.

(In the past, Aruk was written as Aruba in some places...Although the names of the Hutts are very simple, they are also easy to remember...)

Aruke suppressed the Hutt Gardura, and squeezed out the Scourge Legion that Tang Xiao had installed on Gardura's side, turning the Scourge Legion from a large corps supported by the Besadi family into ordinary mercenaries, forcing Tang Xiao to Xiao can only give up the line of Jadeula.

However, although the Desiligic family, which had received foreign aid, was divided, its strength continued to increase. Aruk could only find another big family, Marlo, the leader of the Qunaalac family, to form an alliance. .

The Hutt Council at this time consisted of Kiriak, Jabba, and Ziro of the Desiligic family, Aruk of the Besadi family, and Marlow of the Kunalak family.

But even such an alliance could not do anything. For a long time, the alliance between the Besadi family and the Kunalak family was still losing ground. Another reason is that although he was abandoned by Tang Xiao, Gadula Besadi, who was still unwilling to become a decoration, kept causing trouble behind their backs.

Finally, when the Clone Wars broke out, Aluk also understood that things could not continue like this. So he also went to find Count Dooku, hoping to get the support of the Confederation of Independent Systems. Of course Count Dooku wanted it. He and Aruk hit it off, and the two sides finalized a secret alliance.

The Besadi family, whose strength had been strengthened, was finally able to start a counterattack. At the same time, due to Zorba's assassination, Ziro lost his support and naturally lost the qualification to enter the Hutt Council.

So the Hutt Council at this time consisted of Kiliyak and Jaba of the Desiligic family, Aruk of the Besadii family, his son Durga Besadii, and Kun Marlowe of House Narak.

Therefore, during the Clone Wars, we could see that the maneuver range of the fleets of both sides was much larger. The main reason was that both the Galactic Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems had supporters on the Hutt side, so their fleets could freely enter and exit the Hutt. Special space.

Compared with the Confederation of Independent Systems, which was defeated in three years in the original plot, the reason why it has been able to sustain itself in this world line for seven years is because of the support of Hutt Space. are related to each other.

After all, in the original plot, Hutt Space turned against the Galactic Republic, and the Republic established the Thirteenth Army in the direction of Hutt Space, blocking the retreat of the Confederation of Independent Systems. This was also an important reason why in the later stages of the war, the Confederation of Independent Systems was divided into three mutually inaccessible areas.

Although this process is very chaotic, to sum up, it is basically a struggle between the Desiligic family, which is supported by the Galactic Republic, and the Besadi family, which is supported by the Confederation of Independent Systems.

It's just that under the two major families, there are still some people who are secretly supported by the Fourth Civilization and Tang Xiao and continue to make small moves.

Therefore, in such a struggle, why is there no movement from the Gorensla family, one of the several large families of the Hutts?

In fact, it's not what happened to the Gorensla family, but when these big families were making trouble, they subconsciously excluded the Gorensla family.

On the one hand, the Gorensla family at that time was probably not as powerful as the Kunalak family. Therefore, after the Kunalak family, under the leadership of leader Malo Kunalak, clearly aligned themselves with the Besadi family, the Gorensla family lost their seat in the Hutt Council.

On the other hand, it is because of the leader Oruba himself.

Because Oruba has albinism, his skin is pale white and has no wrinkles. It looks greasy and disgusting. Therefore, Oruba usually wears a lot of gorgeous clothes when going out, and he also has to wear a hat.

However, for the Hutt culture, wearing clothes or not has nothing to do with so-called shame. As a race living in the swamp, not wearing clothes is their normal state. Therefore, Oruba naturally became a disgusting alien among the Hutts.
