The Hutt Grand Council, formally called the Clans of the Ancients or Council of Elders, was the ruling political body of Nal Hutta and the Hutt species.

History

HuttCouncil-EP

Three members of the Grand Council, Gorga, Arok and Oruba.

The Hutt Grand Council, also known as the Council of Elders[6] and the Clan of the Ancients ruled the Hutt Empire and afterwards all of Hutt Space. It was established when the Hutts relocated to Nal Hutta after the Hutt Cataclysms and was the brainchild of the Hutt Budhila Hestilic Amura.[7] The Council was composed only of those Hutt clans that could trace their lineage to the Hutts' defiled, ancient homeworld of Varl.[6]

They governed all clans fairly, giving favor to none, and Hutts all over the galaxy abided by their decrees. The decision making process was generally unknown, but it seemed that the most powerful of the kajidics (the Hutt criminal syndicates) held the most authority; thus, the head of the most powerful kajidic was the de facto leader of the Hutt race.

In 700 BBY, the Grand Council had to deal with the rebellion from a number of their slave races after the play Evocar was circulated around Hutt Space. After crushing the uprising, the Council decided to punish Kossak the Younger due to his role in the affair and he was killed by acid transfusion with his remains placed at the Qedriga spaceport as a reminder to all Hutts on the consequences for those that attempted to tamper with their geneology.[8]

During the Separatist Crisis, Zorba Desilijic Tiure was found guilty for the illegal removal of ulikuo gemstones leading to a sentence of forty five years imprisonment at the Girigard Subsurface Correctional Facility. The Grand Council of Nal Nutta attempted to extradite Zorba so that he could be tried by a council of peers in Hutt Space but the local laws prevented this course of action. By the Clone Wars, the Council hired Cad Bane to hunt for Ziro the Hutt, due to his possession of potentially damaging information about Hutt activities.[2][9] At that time, the council consisted of Jabba Desilijic Tiure, Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo, Arok, Oruba, and Marlo.

In 20 BBY, Oruba was killed and the Hutt Council and the Hutt Cartel was forced to join the Shadow Collective.[10] Later on, Gorga was imprisoned after an incident on Nothoiin.[11]

During the Second Imperial Civil War, Vedo Anjiliac Atirue and Queen Jool sat on the Council. They were outraged at the devastation of Da Soocha, a planet sacred to the Hutts, and the bombardment of Da Soocha's moon Napdu, which killed Azzim Anjiliac Atirue. They later informed the Galactic Empire that the Galactic Alliance Remnant had taken refuge on Utapau, with Admiral Gar Stazi among them. The plan was to get the Imperials to think they had brought the Hutts into submission, but it was really a ploy for Cade Skywalker to assassinate Sith scientist Vul Isen, who created the toxin that purged Da Soocha and earlier Dac of all life.[12] It became known that Hutts had bounties out for Sith and though they did not directly participate in the war, they funded it by bounty hunters and funding the Galactic Alliance Remnant who fought against the One Sith.

Behind the scenes

Concept art for the Council Chamber

Concept art for the council chamber shows each of the council members sitting at the council's desk with a banner depicting their kajidics hanging in front of them while in the show, the banners are depicted as between the council members and do not correlate with the particular Hutt.

As Gorga, Oruba and Arok are shown to be sitting in different places at the council's desk, this shows that there appears to be no assigned seating for the council members with the possible exception of Jabba who's hologram appears at the head of the council when the Shadow Collective appeared before the council.

Despite the council chamber being located in her palace, Gardulla does not appear to be an actual member of the council.

With subtitles turned on while watching the Evil Plans episode on DVD, the subtitles say that the council is speaking in ancient Huttese and Cad Bane stated that his ancient Huttese is rusty.
