Borvo the Hutt was a powerful Hutt with a male personality who operated a large and profitable business smuggling everything from blasters to spices. As an influential figure, he had dozens of strongholds on worlds located throughout the Outer Rim. He found the perfect hideout in the mountains of Naboo, a lush world with small police and security forces and far from the Republic's watchful eyes. There, he stored excess weapons and vehicles in a hidden base.
When the Trade Federation invaded Naboo in 32 BBY, droid scouts found Borvo's personal freighter and attacked it when it was cruising the mountains. Unable to defend itself, the ship's pilot made contact with Lieutenant Gavyn Sykes and his Captain Kael. Sykes saved the ship by destroying the fighters. The treacherous Hutt pretended to help the Naboo, but he later betrayed the men by killing Kael and enslaving the locals. Lieutenant Sykes took his revenge by blowing up the Hutt's freighter, starfighters and depots. Borvo fled to Nal Hutta, only to return at a later date.
Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, Borvo was known to relax in the Moenia cantina on Naboo. There he sent Mordran to the Gungan sacred place to destroy some Gungans that crossed him. He also was discovered to have stolen a King Tusken Rifle from Huff Darklighter.
