Hutt Cartel

"The Hutts wouldn't dare incur our wrath, master."

- Sev'Rance Tann

The Hutt Cartel was a powerful criminal syndicate, or business alliance of Hutts. Jabba Desilijic Tiure held considerable power in the Cartel. It maintained a personal military consisting of both an army and a starfleet. It raged war with the Zann Consortium until the Battle of Hypori.

History
It is known that the Cartel had control of the Kaer Orbital Platform a few decades before the Clone Wars after they forced the InterGalactic Banking Clan off the Platform, however they later abandoned the paltform as they regarded it worthless.

Clone Wars
Boorka the Hutt held considerable power in the Cartel. During the Clone Wars he co-operated with Sev'rance Tann during the early days of the War after he gathered information about the Decimator a republic superweapon which was still in development. He was annoyed by the Galactic Republic's trade activity near his territory and agreed to reveal their secret plan to the Sepratists. He lost most of his forces (exept afew mecernaries) for turning against Jabba but he instead was protected by the seps. As a reward, he would give them information about the Decimator provided that she destroy the Republic Spaceport after she destroyed the spaceport hegave her the information. He was later killed by Republic forces during the Second Battle of Tatooine, who were deeply encouraged to do so by Jabba the Hutt after he offered the Republic 5000 nova crystals to kill him. Jabba assisted the Republic General Echuu Shen-Jon in Return during the Second Battle of Tatooine.

Galctic Civil War
During the Galactic Civil War Jabba formed an alliance with Tyber Zann and they were quite sucessful until Tyber stole his valuable sith artifact on Felucia. Tyber was caught however he gave the artifact to his second in command Urai Fen Tyber was then imprisoned on Kessel. The artifact cost a huge amount of credits, so the Cartel took everything off the Zann Consortium giving a massive boost to the cartels forces. Later Tyber broke out of Kessel and he rebuilt his forces to wage war on the Cartel he took corrupted many of the Cartels planets and took control of Shola and later Salucami. This situation lasted up until the Battle of Hypori, where Tyber Zann arranged with Jabba to make a deal where he would not attack the Consortium in exchange for his life and the planets Hypori and Saleucami.
