The Hutts are a species of large gastropods with stubby arms, wide cavernous mouths and huge eyes, who control a large criminal empire in Hutt Space. The species is said to originally hail from the planet Varl, but no planet by that name appears on any Galactic Republic star charts. Their adopted homeworld, originally called "Evocar" and inhabited by the primitive Evocii, is now known as Nal Hutta (or simply "Hutta" by offworlders), which means "Glorious Jewel" in Huttese. The members of the species are often recognized as crime lords, due to the political and economic power of the criminal Hutt Cartels. The Hutts were aware of the Sith Empire prior to the Great Galactic War, but they kept it a secret. They hoped that the Empire would help them eliminate their biggest rival: the Galactic Republic, which by this point was enjoying technological and economical prosperity. However, the Empire did not confide their invasion plans in the Hutts and began the war without them. Furious they had been left out, the Hutts refused to participate in the war and took a staunch neutral stance. After the war, the Hutts benefitted from the rampart crime and general chaos the war created, yet they maintained their neutrality for the entire Cold War.
