Evocii

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

The Evocii were a primitive humanoid race from Evocar, which later became the capital Hutt world Nal Hutta.

[edit] History

When the Hutts arrived from their homeworld Varl around 15,000 BBY, the Evocii were amazed by the wonderful technologies that the slug-like aliens brought with them. Soon they began exchanging pieces of their homeworld in exchange for the technology the Hutts brought with them, until they realized that the Hutts owned almost their entire world. Hutt palaces, amusement parks and other constructions were built all over Evocar, and the Evocii were powerless against the Hutts.

They appealed to the Galactic Republic, though the laws of the Republic then ruled in favor of the Hutts. The Evocii were evicted from Evocar by the Hutts and relocated to the planet's fifth moon which would later be known as Nar Shaddaa, "The Smuggler's Moon". The Hutts then used their Evocii subjects as slave laborers to build the spaceports and cities of Nar Shaddaa. Most of the Evocii eventually died off from long periods of exposure to Nar Shaddaa's atmosphere, and the surviving few began mutating in the lower levels of Nar Shaddaa due to the various technologies practiced on the moon. The Hutts then destroyed the remaining Evocii architecture.
