Borvo the Hutt was a powerful Hutt crimelord with a male personality who operated a large and profitable business, smuggling everything from blasters to spices. As an influential figure, he had dozens of strongholds on worlds located throughout the Outer Rim.
History
Like many abitious young Hutts Borvo left his home space early in his criminal career(Any other career being unlikely considering Borvo's temperament),He found the perfect hideout in the mountains of Naboo, a lush world with small police and security forces and far from the Republic's watchful eyes. He and his people established a base in Porso Hill, and also took over a N1 starfighter base in the mountains.Borvo and his frighter pilot Adela Tyche easily navigated the pathetic tracking systems of the Naboo defence net moving huge shipments of weapons artillery and even spice to the planet. As the young Hutt's business continued to grow under the nose of Queen Amidala and here administrators he established semi permanent operations on most other planets in the Outer Rim where he did illicit business,while on Naboo he would sell rifles and blasters to hunters,all perfectly legal as fine cover in case his presence atracted the attention of the Naboo athorities.
When the Trade Federation invaded Naboo in 32 BBY, droid scouts found Borvo's personal freighter and attacked it while it was cruising the mountains. Unable to defend itself, the ship's pilot made contact with Lieutenant Gavyn Sykes and his captain, Kael. Sykes saved the ship by destroying the fighters. The treacherous Hutt pretended to help the Naboo, but he later betrayed the men by killing Kael and enslaving the locals. Lieutenant Sykes took his revenge by blowing up the Hutt's freighter, starfighters and depots. Borvo fled to Nal Hutta, only to return at a later date. His crime empire eventually recovered and grew during the Clone Wars.
As the Clone Wars ended and the Galactic Empire rose to power Borvo remained hidden on Naboo. With the Empire's strick control of goods and weaponry his smuggling and gunrunning operations flourished. It should be noted the he was also an acquaintance of Jabba the Hutt and was known to gamble and place bets with him. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Borvo was known to relax in the Moenia cantina on Naboo. There he sent Mordran to the Gungan sacred place to destroy some gungans that crossed him. He had a hidden base just outside of the town. There, he stored excess weapons and vehicles.He also owned a yacht called the Prosperous Secret. Around that same time he was discovered to have stolen a King Tusken Rifle from Huff Darklighter.
Since Naboo remained untouched by the Yuuzhan Vong War, Borvo presumably was one of the few Hutts fortunate enough to escape their wrath. However, his business may have been hurt somewhat because of a Vong ship on the far edge of the Naboo System cutting of all transmissions on the planet.
