Durga Besadii Tai

Durga Besadii Tai was a Hutt and the successor of Aruk as head of the Besadii kajidic. After Aruk was killed, Durga called for help from Prince Xizor to secure the succession and locate Aruk's murder. He descovered that Aruk was killed by Jiliac, the head of the Desilijic clan. Durga and Jiliac fought in mortal combat, and Jiliac was killed. After the death of Jabba, Besadii became the dominant clan on Nal Hutta. Durga masterminded the Darksaber superweapon, and personally executed Crix Madine after the general came to sabotage the Darksaber. Ultimately, Durga's defeat came about not from New Republic means, but by shoddy construction; the Darksaber's superlaser wouldn't work, and a hail of asteroids destroyed the superweapon, taking Durga with it.

Durga's leadership of Besadii was controversial due to his large birthmark, which was regarded by most Hutts to be a bad omen, as well as his close connections to Prince Xizor and Black Sun.
