"Our pride demands that our enemy be executed by our own hand—or by our proxy."
―Vedo Anjiliac Atirue[1]

Vedo Anjiliac Atirue was a Hutt male who was the leader of Anjiliac kajidic, the uncle of Azzim Anjiliac Atirue, and a member of the Hutt Grand Council during the Second Imperial Civil War. He was also a close friend of Queen Jool.

Biography[]

"Ho, ho, ho! The legendary Admiral Stazi vouching for the pirate? The galaxy has gone mad. Done. Vedo out."
―Vedo Anjiliac Atirue after Gar Stazi vouched for Cade Skywalker[3]

Following the death of Azzim Anjiliac Atirue in the devastation of Da Soocha and Napdu by the One Sith, Azzim's uncle[2] Vedo Anjiliac Atirue wanted revenge. Jool spoke highly of a pirate named Cade Skywalker who could get the job Vedo had in mind done, and he asked her to contact Skywalker. Before meeting with the pirate, Vedo laid a trap for Vul Isen, the Sith scientist who had created the toxin used to purge Dac and Da Soocha of all life, using Galactic Alliance Remnant Admiral Gar Stazi as bait. Forwarding Stazi's whereabouts on Utapau to the Galactic Empire, Vedo knew that Isen would come to not only kill Stazi, but to purge Utapau of all life and the many Alliance personnel taking refuge there.[1]

Arriving on Nal Hutta with Wolf Sazen, Jariah Syn, and Deliah Blue, Skywalker and his friends preceded to Vedo's headquarters, where they found Naxy Screeger working as Vedo's gatekeeper. Screeger believed Skywalker owed him for information that Isen was on Daluuj. As that proved false, Skywalker refused to pay. When Skywalker walked forward, Screeger stated that only Skywalker was invited by Vedo and separated the party with a barrier than fell from the ceiling. Several security droids then attacked Skywalker, but he easily dispatched them with his lightsaber.[1]

Vedo apologized for the test and stated that he needed to see if Skywalker was really as good as Jool claimed. She also apologized, stating that she perhaps spoke of Skywalker too highly. Vedo made an offer to Skywalker to kill Isen; as Skywalker was already hunting the Sith scientist, he thought he might as well get paid for it, but he did not know where Isen was. When Vedo informed Skywalker of the trap on Utapau, the pirate was furious, but the Hutt was not concerned about the risks since he had no business interests on that world. He explained that hiring Skywalker as the Hutts' agent meant the enemy would die by the Hutts' hand. As Utapau and the Alliance were already at risk, Skywalker could see no other choice but to accept; if he failed, the Sith would win and would become a much larger threat than any resulting Hutt anger. Vedo informed Skywalker that a Bothan agent named Pobos would meet him there. Although Pobos was killed by a Sith assassin,[1] Skywalker ultimately succeeded in killing Isen and prevented him from releasing his plague on the planet.[4]

Vedo along with other Hutts presented bounties for those who could kill Sith and collect their lightsabers. Vedo again employed Cade to kill more Sith as a way to contribute to the war, but not be officially in it. When Cade destroyed a Star Destroyer but had no lightsabers to prove it, Vedo questioned the loyalty and honesty of a pirate, but Gar Stazi vouched for Skywalker as Rogue Squadron was present when Skywalker destroyed the Imperial warship.[3]
