Jabba Desilijic Tiure's criminal empire

Jabba Desilijic Tiure's criminal empire was a criminal organization led and formed by Jabba the Hutt. Its base was Jabba's Palace on the desert planet dunes of Tatooine.

Jabba hired smugglers such as Han Solo to smuggle such things as glitterstim spice, and bounty hunters like Boba Fett and Zuckuss to eliminate enemies of the Hutt crime lords.

History
Heavily known, Jabba's criminal empire was one of the most powerful criminal organizations perhaps even the galaxy since it controlled the Outer Rim and a great deal beyond the most recondite places at the galaxy itself. Jabba usually watched from his stage along his majordomo Bib Fortuna podracing at Tatooine.

In 21 BBY, Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker, who was betided with his Padawan Ahsoka Tano, was reluctant to return to Tatooine, via the Twilight, due to Jabba allowing the Galactic Republic access over the secret Hutt Hyperspace route against the Confederacy of Independent Systems for rescuing his son Rotta on the Teth Monastery. Despite sabotage from the part of bounty hunter Asajj Ventress and Sith Lord Count Dooku, the Jedi Order emerged victorious in their rescue attempt at delivering Rotta to Jabba's Palace. Ingratitude, thus Jabba's Empire and subsequently the Hutt Clan, became an ally of the Galactic Republic, as well as the Clone Army been allowed safe passage through the Hutt Space.

After the Fall of the Republic and during the Imperial Era, Jabba's criminal empire continued its operations, although very carefully, as the Imperial Security Bureau, one of the Galactic Empire's security factions, frequently checked smugglers in order to avoid smuggling. Over the following years before the beginning of the Galactic Civil War, the organization employed more than smugglers and bounty hunters. In addition, Jabba also employed jesters, like the Kowakian Monkey-Lizard Salacious B. Crumb; dancers, like the Twi'lek Oola; or bands, like the Max Rebo Band, for entertainment. Paritcularly, the Max Rebo Band was the most popular band which played for Jabba, and played for him until his death.

When Han Solo, Jabba's favorite smuggler on his payroll, was forced to jettison Jabba's illegal cargo when the Millennium Falcon, his ship, was boarded by Imperial authorities. Furious at the great loss of a part of his empire's fortune, Jabba demanded compensation for the lost cargo, but as Solo didn't recompose, the crime lord sent bounty hunters after him. When the Rodian Greedo was killed by Solo, Solo spoke with Jabba at the Docking Bay 94 and Jabba gave him more time. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, in which the Alliance to Restore the Republic, with Solo's help, managed to destroy the Death Star, the Empire decided to negotiate with an envoy in Jabba's employ on Cymoon 1, in the Corellian Industrial Cluster. Sith Lord Darth Vader, who formerly was Anakin Skywalker, was send as the Imperial negotiator with the intent of forcing Jabba's envoy in a deal favorable to the Empire. The envoy's vessel was hijacked by the Alliance to Restore the Republic, and with a team of Rebels including Solo, they used it to assault and destroy the Weapons Factory Alpha on Cymoon 1. Emperor Palpatine send Vader to Jabba's Palace to negotiate. Once there, Jabba was not interested to negotiate with Vader, and his Gamorrean guards to eliminate the Sith Lord, but Vader killed Jabba's guards and briefly choked Jabba in order to show what his fate will be if he didn't listened him. The next day, Vader ended his negotiations with Jabba and left his palace.

Three years after the Battle of Yavin, Jabba began to sample again since Solo still did not pay the promised recomposition to his empire, but Solo could not because he was in some way confined to the icy planet of Hoth, since it was not safe to leave the Echo Base of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. At the same time, Vader hired Boba Fett, Jabba's favorite bounty hunter, whom Jabba had ordered him to go for Solo. Vader ordered Fett to track down the Millenium Falcon, and once at Cloud City, despite Lando Calrissian's complains, Solo was frozen in carbonite and taken to Jabba and his empire by Fett.

Dissolution
The high life of Jabba's criminal empire, however, would all end in a matter of minutes. One year after Solo's capture, Solo's friend Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and his Rebel party decided to convince Jabba and his empire to liberate Solo. Skywalker send the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 to Jabba's Palace to negotiate with Jabba via hologram. The offer was so generous, but the Hutt was uninterested in Skywalker's proposal. Skywalker presented at his palace and after Jabba tried to execute him, he killed Pateesa, Jabba's pet rancor.

Furious about his pet's death, Jabba attempted to execute Skywalker's friends at the Great Pit of Carkoon as food for the Pit's Sarlacc. Jabba and the members of his empire went to the Pit aboard Jabba's sail barge. Skywalker warned Jabba once more, but he chuckled the young Skywalker's warnings. This decision costed Jabba not only his empire, his life also, as Luke's sister Leia Organa, who Jabba made his slave, choked him to death with a chain. At the end, members of Jabba's empire fell into the sarlacc's mouth or were killed by Organa and Skywalker blew up Jabba's sail barge.

Following Jabba's death, the Grand Hutt Council was left to determine who would fill Jabba's seat as leader of hsi empire. Several months after Jabba's demise, a decision had yet to be made. By the time where the First Order emrged, it's unclear if the decision had already been taken or not.
