[edit] History

It is known that the Cartel had control of the Kaer Orbital Platform a few decades before the Clone Wars after they forced the InterGalactic Banking Clan off the Platform, however they later abandoned the platform as they regarded it worthless.

[edit] Clone Wars

Boorka the Hutt held considerable power in the Cartel. During the Clone Wars he co-operated with Sev'rance Tann during the early days of the War after he gathered information about the Decimator a republic superweapon which was still in development. He was annoyed by the Galactic Republic's trade activity near his territory and agreed to reveal their secret plan to the Separatists. He lost most of his forces (except a few mercenaries) for turning against Jabba but he instead was protected by the Separatists. As a reward, he would give them information about the Decimator, provided that Sev'rance destroyed the Republic Spaceport. After she destroyed the spaceport, Boorka gave her the information she needed. He was later killed by Republic forces during the Second Battle of Tatooine, who were deeply encouraged to do so by Jabba the Hutt after he offered the Republic a 5000 nova crystal bounty to kill him. Jabba assisted the Republic General Echuu Shen-Jon in return during the Second Battle of Tatooine.

[edit] Galactic Civil War

Sometime before the Rebels had emerged The cartel took control of a few planets such as Felucia. Jabba also set up a communications relay on Saleucami to keep an eye on the Empire.

During the Galactic Civil War Jabba formed an alliance with Tyber Zann which was quite successful until Tyber stole his valuable Sith artifact on Felucia. Tyber was caught however he gave the artifact to his second in command Urai Fen Tyber was then imprisoned on Kessel. The artifact cost a huge amount of credits, so the Cartel took everything off the Zann Consortium. Later Tyber broke out of Kessel and he rebuilt his forces to wage war on the Cartel he corrupted many of the Cartels planets and took control of Saleucami. This situation lasted up until the Battle of Hypori, where Tyber Zann arranged with Jabba to make a deal where he would not attack the Consortium in exchange for his life and the planets Hypori and Saleucami. This left the Cartel crippled but not destroyed however events in 4 ABY made an unknown future for the Cirminal Organisation.
