Chapter 2013 The Hutts
? 2013, Hutts
On the other side of the planet Tatooine, there is an ancient palace built on the desert, and in the palace, lived the most powerful person on the entire planet Tatooine—the Hutt, Jabba-De Silijic-Teyur.
The Hutts are one of the oldest races in this galaxy and one of the first races to start interstellar travel. After the collapse of the first infinite empire that was almost in the same galaxy, they opened up their own Hutt space and established their own powerful empire - the Hutt Empire. In the ensuing war, the Hutts completely destroyed another Shim Empire that was equal to them, and let the once-popular tyrant Shim die in humiliation on the capital of the Hutts, the planet Narhet.
Later, the Hutt Empire entrenched in the Hutt space encountered the newly rising Galactic Republic. After a period of peace between the two sides, war finally broke out. About 12,000 years before Palpatine proclaimed himself emperor and the Galactic Republic fell, the Republic launched a war called the "Holy War of the Goddess Guard". During this raid, the Hutt Empire was defeated and eventually collapsed.
However, the Galactic Republic does not have the power to completely destroy the remnants of the Hutt Empire, because the power established by the Hutts is not just a government, but an intricate collection of gangsters, smuggling, trade, etc. above and below ground. In the end, the Galactic Republic withdrew from the Hutt space, and the Hutts no longer proclaimed themselves emperors, ostensibly acknowledging the status of the Galactic Republic, and the two sides have coexisted like this for more than 10,000 years, until now.
After more than 10,000 years of development, the Hutts have concentrated on their underworld business, which has made them veritable underground kings, and even the now decayed Galactic Republic dare not provoke them. In addition to the scruples about the powerful Hutt fleet entrenched in the Hutt space, it is also because the influence of the Hutt in all aspects is also what the Republic needs to rely on.
Therefore, if there are any races with the highest status in the Galactic Republic, the Hutts are at least in the top three. Coupled with the sparse population of the Hutts, it is often a felony to kill a Hutt. Of course, the murderer is likely to be killed by the endless killers and bounty hunters sent by the Hutts before being convicted.
And one of the most powerful people among the Hutts is Jabba, the leader of the Desilijik underworld family. With Tatooine as the center, he established a criminal empire on the edge of the galaxy, smuggling, slavery, kidnapping, extortion, drugs (called spices in the "Star Wars" world), arms, all kinds of illegal activities, as long as they can make money Yes, he does.
But just like the so-called "thieves who steal the hook will be punished, those who steal the country will be martyred", when the criminal activities reach the level that can compete with a country, it becomes a legal business. What's more, in the extremely corrupt Galactic Republic, everything has a price. With Jabba's wealth, buying a few members of the Galactic Council is simply a trivial matter.
So not only was Jabba not wanted by the Republic,
On the contrary, he has a lofty status in the Republic, and he can even use his own minted currency in Tatooine instead of Galactic Credits!
But at this time, a shuttle suddenly visited Jabba's palace. From the outside, this palace is just a series of ancient cylindrical buildings, but the interior is extremely luxurious, all kinds of rare jewelry decorations in the galaxy, and even beauties and rare animals are randomly placed.
Jane Connor walked in directly with Cameron Phillips and Catherine Weaver. Jabba's palace is full of visitors at any time, so the first floor of the palace is basically open, sometimes even like a luxury bar.
In the palace, more than a dozen glamorous human beauties, as well as Twi'lek beauties, were all in revealing clothes, twisting their bodies forgetfully, showing their most beautiful postures. All kinds of bounty hunters gather here to taste the most delicious and expensive food and wine, and when the time is right, they will spend the spring night with these top beauties.
This is also Jabba's reward to those who take refuge in him—as long as Jabba can gain Jabba's trust, then Jabba will share his treasures with them without hesitation. Because the Hutts have no feelings for human or Twi'lek beauty at all, just as we humans are not interested in a beautiful pig. The reason why they collect these is mainly out of a kind of show-off - I have all the things that you bipeds go after so much, and they are placed randomly like garbage, this is our superiority.
However, these unsightly scenes were extremely dazzling in Jane Connor's eyes, and the impatience and anger in her expression became more and more serious.
After intentionally or unintentionally knocking down several waiters serving drinks, someone finally noticed this group of uninvited guests, only to see the bounty hunters and thugs standing up one after another, drawing their pistols and aiming at them.
Jane Connor was already very upset and wanted to do something when she saw this scene, but Catherine Weaver hurried forward to stop her, and said to these bounty hunters with bad looks: "We are from the guardian An envoy from the planet of the Raiders, who came to discuss cooperation with the respected Lord Jabba."
Those bounty hunters laughed loudly, "Guardian planet? Is it that stupid planet that wants to murder Speaker Palpatine? Hahahahaha! Why, I can't get along in the Republic, come here to beg our great Is Jabba?"
"Seeing that you look good, why don't you take off your clothes and go up there, maybe the wise Jabba will forgive you!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
Hearing these endless ridicules, Jane Connor calmed down now, and she turned her head to look at Catherine Weaver and Cameron.
At this time, an H-3PO protocol robot walked down the stairs step by step, and said in the harmless and harmless voice that was set up for humans and animals: "The messenger from the guardian planet, the mighty Lord Jabba is willing to meet with you!" ...oh my gosh, what's going on here?"
All I saw was hundreds of bounty hunters and thugs lying on the first floor of the palace. These people didn't die, but fell to the ground moaning with bruised noses and swollen faces. As for the weapons in their hands, they had long since turned into twisted scrap iron. Jane Connor stepped on a Nikto bodyguard whose hands were broken, with a calm expression.
H-3PO quickly turned back and left, its programming told it to stay away from all disputes and battles. But Jane Connor rushed forward, grabbed it by the shoulder and said, "You mean, Jabba wants to see us? That's right, lead the way."
