Nem'ro the Hutt

When a Hutt reaches the pinnacle of his career, it is his right and privilege to let his mind and body atrophy--to turn away from menial concerns and strictly indulge his appetites. So it goes with Nem'ro.

Decades ago, Nem'ro was a scheming and ambitious leader

among the gangs of Jiguuna, one of Hutta's prominent industrial towns. Block by block, factory by factory, he took control through brutality, blackmail and sheer business savvy. He paid his henchmen handsomely, and overthrew Jiguuna's previous ruler in a bloody coup. He never did get rid of the competing gangs; he just cowed them and demanded a share of the profits.

Now, comfortable and confident, Nem'ro is free to let his lieutenants run the show while he concentrates on what makes life worth living: food, arena fights and reveling in the respect of his peers. Only the rise of Fa'athra, a Hutt upstart and would-be rival, threatens to force his attention back on business affairs. Locals worry that when Nem'ro inevitably decides Fa'athra is a threat, the gang wars could get bloody indeed...
