- "The protection of the Fountain was the key to the drawing of the Treaty of Vontor twenty-five thousand years ago. The Hutts swore to protect it. In return, our people and the Nikto swore eternal servitude. The Hutts did not protect the Fountain. If they do not act appropriately—"
"If they don't act appropriately, the deal's off, and the Hutts lose slaves they've had for twenty-five millennia. Okay. I think I see why everyone's so upset."
"The Treaty states that if there is ever a question of violation, at least two, preferably more, offworlders must be present to render judgment, as both the Hutts and the Klatooinians have decided interests in the outcome." - ―Darima Kedari and Jaina Solo
The Treaty of Vontor was signed by representatives of the Hutts and the three races of the Si'Klaata Cluster: the Klatooinians under Barada M'Beg, the Nikto under D'we'mouk, and the Vodrans under Kl'ieutu Mutela. These three races had already, together with Weequay soldiers, formed the backbone of the armies Kossak the Hutt had recruited to defeat Xim the Despot at the Third Battle of Vontor during the Xim Wars. After the Hutt victory, the Si'Klaata Cluster was part of Hutt Space, and the Treaty of Vontor put its three native races in a state of permanent servitude towards the Hutts.
In 44 ABY, after the Sith of the Lost Tribe desecrated the Fountain of Ancients on Klatooine, which the Hutts had promised to protect, the Klatooinians declared the Treaty of Vontor null and void, ending a slavery which had lasted for over 25 millennia.[1]
