Hutt Space

Hutt Space was a region of the galaxy on the border between the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim Territories that was located to the galactic east of the Core Worlds, and was under the control of the Hutt Clan. Largely noted as being a haven to the irreputable denizens of the galaxy, it managed to avoid outright Imperial control owing to its cooperation with Imperial Coruscant, however following the Battle of Yavin, it saw increasing attempts by the Empire to cut into its trade in an effort to decrease its independence. Following the demise of the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, Hutt Space was embroiled in conflict as the Hutts attempted to carve up his territory.

The Clone Wars
After the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano rescued Jabba Desilijic Tiure's son Rotta from the Separatist agent and Sith apprentice Asajj Ventress in 22 BBY, a grateful Jabba allowed the Galactic Republic to pass through Hutt Space during the Clone Wars.

Later, Senator Bail Organa and Junior Representative Jar Jar Binks managed to convince the Toydarian King Katuunko to allow the Republic to use Toydaria as a transit point for the Republic to deliver relief supplies to the Outer Rim planet Ryloth. Following a skirmish between Ventress and Jedi Master Yoda on the moon Rugosa, King Katuunko decided to side with the Galactic Republic in the Clone Wars.

After freeing Ziro Desilijic Tiure from Republic custody, the bounty hunter Cad Bane brought him to the Hutt homeworld of Nal Hutta under the orders of the Grand Hutt Council. The Council imprisoned Ziro after he threatened to divulge incriminating information about the Hutt crime lords to the Republic. This information was stored in a holodiary hidden on the planet Teth. In response, the Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Quinlan Vos visited Nal Hutta seeking Ziro's return. Ziro escaped with the help of the singer Sy Snootles and fled to Teth with the help of his mother Mama. On Teth, Sy killed Ziro and then brought the holodiary to Jabba; keeping the Hutts' secrets safe from Bane and the Jedi.

In 20 BBY, Count Dooku sent his new Sith apprentice Savage Opress to kidnap King Katuunko. However, Katuunko was killed in the process. Savage and Asajj then tried to kill Dooku but the assassination attempt failed. Savage turned on both Dooku and Asajj and fled back to Dathomir.



Age of the Empire
During the Age of the Empire, the Kessel royal family allowed the Galactic Empire to mine Kessel's barren northern hemisphere using Wookiee slave labor. The royal family lived in lush sanctuaries in Kessel's southern hemisphere. In 5 BBY, the Spectres rebel cell pursued and raided an Imperial convoy that traveled to Ryloth, Christophsis, Kashyyyk, and Toydaria before settling down on the Outer Rim world of Lothal. Later, the Spectres rescued Wookiee slaves from the spice mines of Kessel.

Following the Battle of Yavin, the Rebel Alliance Lieutenant Caluan Ematt fled into hiding on Cyrkon after escaping an ambush by Imperial forces on Taanab. Princess Leia Organa dispatched Han Solo and Chewbacca to rescue Ematt. Despite opposition from bounty hunters and the Imperial Security Bureau agent Alecia Beck, the rebels were able to rescue Ematt from Cyrkon and flee offworld.

During the Galactic Civil War, Saponza, his partner, and Han Solo teamed up to raid a Hutt Clan on the planet Dandoran that was hoarding medical supplies. Dandoran also hosted a secret Imperial research facility used to produce Undead Troopers. After the Undead Troopers broke out of the facility, the Empire and Rebel Alliance forces were forced to join forces to prevent the zombies from spreading the Sickness across the galaxy.
