2013, The Hutt
On the other side of Tatooine, there was an ancient palace built in the desert. Inside the palace lived the most powerful man on Tatooine, the Hutt, Jabba Desilijic Taiyur.
The Hutts were one of the oldest races in the Milky Way galaxy, and one of the first races to begin interstellar travel. After the collapse of the first empire in the Milky Way galaxy, they opened up their own Hutt Dimension and established their own powerful empire, the Hutt Empire. In the war that followed, the Hutts completely destroyed the Zim Empire, which was their rival. The tyrant Zim, who had been at the peak of his power for a long time, died a humiliating death on the Hutts' capital, Planet Narhut.
After that, the Hutt Empire in the Hutt Dimension met the Galactic Republic, which had just risen. After a period of peace, war finally broke out. About 2000 years before Palpatine became emperor and the Galactic Republic was destroyed, the Republic launched a war called the "Holy War of the Goddess' Guards". In this surprise attack, the Hutt Empire suffered a crushing defeat and eventually collapsed.
But the Galactic Republic didn't have the power to completely destroy the remnants of the Hutt Empire, because the Hutts didn't just establish a government. It included gangs, smugglers, traders, and so on. In the end, the Galactic Republic withdrew from the Hutt Dimension, and the Hutts no longer called themselves emperors. On the surface, they acknowledged the Galactic Republic's position, and the two sides coexisted for more than 10,000 years.
After more than 10,000 years of development, the Hutts focused on running their underworld business, which made them a real underground king. Even the decadent Galactic Republic didn't dare to provoke them. In addition to being wary of the powerful Hutt fleet in the Hutt Dimension, the Republic also needed the Hutts' influence in many aspects.
Therefore, if there was a race with the highest status in the Galactic Republic, the Hutts would be at least in the top three. Plus, the Hutts had a small population, so it was often a felony to kill a Hutt. Of course, the murderer would most likely be killed by the endless killers and bounty hunters sent by the Hutts before they could be convicted.
One of the most powerful people among the Hutts was the head of the Desilijic underworld, Jabba. With Tatu as the center, he built a criminal empire at the edge of the Milky Way. Smuggling, slavery, kidnapping, extortion, drugs (called spices in the world of Star Wars), firearms, and all kinds of illegal activities. As long as he could make money, he would do it.
However, just like the saying 'those who steal from the hook will be killed, those who steal from the country will be marquis', when the criminal activity reaches the level of a country, it becomes a legal business. Moreover, in the current corrupt Galactic Republic, everything had a price. With Jabba's wealth, buying over a few members of the Galactic Parliament was a piece of cake.
Therefore, not only was Jabba not wanted by the Republic, but he also had a high status in the Republic. He could even use his own minted currency on Tatooine instead of using Galaxy Credits!
At that moment, a shuttle suddenly visited Jabba's palace. From the outside, the palace looked like a series of old cylindrical buildings. However, the interior was extremely luxurious. There were all kinds of jewelry and ornaments that were rarely seen in the Milky Way, and even beautiful women and rare beasts were placed casually.
Jane Connor brought Cameron Phillips and Catherine Weaver straight in. Jabba's palace would have all kinds of visitors at any time, so the first floor of the palace was basically open. Sometimes, it even looked like a luxurious bar.
Within the palace, there were more than ten beautiful human and Twi 'lek beauties in revealing clothes. They wriggled their bodies, showing off their most beautiful poses. There were all kinds of bounty hunters gathered here, tasting the most delicious and expensive wine and delicacies. When the time was right, they would also go and spend the night with these top beauties.
This was also the reward that Jabba gave to those who relied on him. As long as they could gain Jabba's trust, Jabba would not hesitate to share his treasures with them. This was because the Hutts had no feelings for human or Twi 'lek beauties, just like how humans would not be interested in a beautiful pig. The reason they collected these was mainly to show off. They had all the things that you bipedal creatures spent so much effort to find, and they were placed casually like garbage. This was our superiority.
However, these unsightly scenes were extremely glaring in Jane Connor's eyes. Her expression became more and more impatient and angry.
After accidentally knocking down a few waiters who were serving wine, someone finally noticed this group of uninvited guests. The surrounding bounty hunters and thugs stood up, pulled out their guns, and aimed at them.
Jane Connor was already very unhappy. When she saw this scene, she wanted to take action. However, Catherine Weaver quickly stepped forward and stopped her. She said to the unfriendly bounty hunters, "We are emissaries from the Guardian Planet. We are here to discuss cooperation with Lord Jabba."
The bounty hunters roared with laughter. "The Guardian Planet? Is it that stupid planet that wanted to murder Chancellor Palpatine? Hahahahaha! What's wrong? You can't survive in the Republic anymore, so you came here to beg our great Jabba? "
"You look good. Why don't you strip naked and walk up to him? Maybe the wise Jabba will let you go!"
"Hahahahaha …"
Hearing these shameless mockery, Jane Connor calmed down. She turned around and exchanged glances with Catherine Weaver and Cameron.
At that moment, an H-3PO ceremonial robot walked down the stairs and said in its harmless and harmonious voice, "Emissaries from the Guardian Planet, the powerful Lord Jabba is willing to meet with you … Oh, my god, what happened here?"
The first floor of the palace was littered with hundreds of bounty hunters and thugs. These people were not dead, but they were moaning on the ground with bloody noses and swollen faces. As for the weapons in their hands, they had long been twisted into scrap metal. Jane Connor stepped on a Nikto bodyguard whose arms were broken. Her expression was indifferent.
The H-3PO quickly turned around and walked away. Its program told it to stay away from all disputes and battles. But Jane Connor lunged forward and grabbed him by the shoulder. "Are you saying that Jabba wants to see us? That's great. Lead the way. "
