Besadii was a Hutt clan. They were the bitter enemies of the Desilijic clan. An anti-slavery raid shut down their Ylesian slave operations. The Raid was instituted by Rebel and smuggler force lead by Han Solo and Bria Tharen. Before this raid, Besadii was a profitable kajidic. Fondor was one of their main markets. After the Battle of Nal Hutta, many members of the Besadii were killed in their palaces by Yuuzhan Vong creations. The surviving members evacuated to Gamorr, Tatooine, and Rodia.
Prior to and during the Clone Wars, the more notorious Hutts of the Besadii clan were: Gardulla the Elder and Arok, the latter leading and representing the clan on the Hutt Ruling Council. Gardulla would often be seen as the mighty and more successful Jabba Desilijic Tiure's main rival, but would also be of service to him; for example, she was his representive during Ziro Desilijic Tiure's trial.
