Hutt-Riileb conflict

Following the discovery of the Sentient Riileb species on the planet of the same name by Nimbanese scouts working for the Hutt species, the Hutts made several attempts to invade Riileb. Prior to the conflict the Nimbanese, who discovered the Riileb while their homeworld was considered to be on the fringe of Hutt Space, attempted to persuade the Insectoids into voluntary servitude but they refused, leading to the conflict. The Hutt forces were led by a Hutt named Velrugha, however they were successfully repelled by the Riileb during each invasion attempt and eventually gave up on trying to capture the planet. The Hutt's left Riileb to search for easier species to conquer while the Rilleb species retained their independence, making them one of the few species independent of the Hutt's in Hutt Space.

Behind the scenes
The Hutt-Riileb conflict was first mentioned in the thirteenth issue of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game supplement magazine series Star Wars Adventure Journal published by West End Games in 1997. It was in an article titled "Alien Encounters" written by Brian Smithson. A reduced version of the article was published in Alien Encounters which was a collection of all "Alien Encounters" articles compiled by Paul Sudlow in 1988.
