Orko

"Who dares attack my tower?" "I don't know, sir. The townsfolk, I suppose. You know how they hate you." "Hate me, eh? Ungrateful wretches! After all I've done for them! I'll have a few of them hanged—see how much they hate me then!"

- Orko and one of his guards

Orko was a H'unn (a low-caste Hutt) who lived on Tatooine during the time of the Galactic Civil War. His daughter was Anachro, and he had a strong rivalry with Gorga. When Anachro and Gorga fell in love, Orko was naturally opposed. However, once Gorga hired Boba Fett to capture the infamous Bar-Kooda, Orko dropped his complaints. In celebration, the three ate Bar-Kooda's corpse. Gorga, however, soon lost his patience with his father-in-law, and hired Orko's disgruntled servant Hirshoot. Hirshoot's failures eventually convinced Gorga to hire Fett to assassinate Orko. Fett, however, offered to "buy off" the assassin if Orko payed him six hundred thousand credits. That night, however, both Orko and Hirshoot were killed&mdash;and torn apart&mdash;by Ry-Kooda, Bar-Kooda's brother.

Orko was one of many Hutts to meet at Jabba's Palace to discuss the remains of his fortune. Orko had little spikes growing all over his slug - like body and rarely moved on his own. He also smoked in his time and was, under the cercumstances, a Carring father to Anacho. Though Gorga was Jabba the Hutt 's nephew, the old pin cushion never repected him. And in the long run, that's what got him killed.
