Hutt Space
The internal power struggle resulting from Jabba’s demise has left the Hutts in a poor position to take advantage of the political divisions in the rest of the galaxy, with the result that they have expanded only into those portions of the Outer & Mid Rim most immediately adjacent to their existing territory, and have not yet made any significant pushes coreward.
Structure
Hutt Space is governed by the Hutt Ruling Council, a body dominated by representatives of the most powerful Hutt kajidics, or clans. It exists to moderate internal conflicts and manage the Hutts' external affairs.
Besadii Clan
The Besadii Clan is the new rising star of the Hutt Clans. A generalist Clan long rivals with the Desilijic, they have acted swiftly to take advantage of Jabba's death, snatching up wayward parts of his organization even as they begin to absorb the Black Sun syndicate, which lost its old Falleen leadership almost simultaneously with Jabba's demise, leaving Durga Besadii Tai in de facto control.Desilijic Clan
The Desilijic Clan was, until very recently, the dominant force in Hutt politics, under the leadership of Jabba Desilijic Tiure. His death has not only created a power vacuum, but shattered his far-reaching and diversely capable organization, leaving his nephew Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo and young son Rotta Desilijic Kiirnu scrambling to keep hold of everything they can while the other Clans circle like vultures.Gorensla Clan
The Gorensla Clan are heavily involved in the galaxy's markets – white, gray, and black alike – and control extensive smuggling operations, which regularly gains them a seat on the Council. Their fortunes suffered some in the early days of the Empire, as they lost their Council representative to an assassin shortly before the Clone Wars concluded, but they have largely recovered over the past two decades under the new leadership of Bossato Gorensla Suuza.Quunalac Clan
The Quunalac Clan retains many martial traditions from the ancient history of the Hutts, and outmatch any other single Clan in military might. In addition to the heavy industry necessary to support their fleet, Quunalac also controls or exerts great influence on the mercenary and pirate trades, and is heavily involved in protection rackets all over the galaxy. It is currently represented on the Council by Marlo Qunaalac Bronda.Assets
Kossak-class Frigate
Manufactured by Ubrikkian Industries for the Hutts' exclusive use, the Kossak-class frigate is widely used to defend their interests against pirates and rivals. Well shielded and armored, the class is armed with 12 medium turbolasers, 12 twin light laser cannons, 4 twin medium ion cannons, and 2 heavy tractor beams, and can support 3 shuttles and as many as 12 starfighters.HH-87 Starhopper
A versatile starfighter manufactured by MandalMotors and predominantly used by elements of the criminal underworld, the Hutt and Zygerrian cartels in particular. Heavily armored for a ship of its size, the Starhopper is equipped with a Class 1 hyperdrive, a pair of light laser cannons, and a half-coverage deflector shield that can be angled fore or aft.
