Hutts

Hutts are a race of gigantic, sentient slugs are are a relatively minor race within Ork Space, the Imperial Republic, and the Kingdom of Albion. They are less numerous than humans, Star Elves and Asguardian Dwarfs, and Orks. Nevertheless, Hutts are heavily involved in commerce, industry, and sometimes even organized crime.

Hutts are hermephrodites (both male anf female), giving birth to a child that is raised for about it's first 50 years with a pouch.? Hutts can live to be over 1000 years old.

Hutts are organized into family clans, and their racial homeworlds are the planet Nul Hutta and Nul Hutta's moon Nar Shadda, both deep within Ork Space. Within Ork Space, much of the local and regional economy is in the hands of Hutt clans, and almost all of the organized crime there.

Thanks to Republic and Albion expansion into Ork space, some Hutt clans have become part of both the legal economy and criminal underworld within the Imperial Republic. Hutts typically employ Orks, Elves, and Dwarfs, and to a lesser extent humans and members of minor races.

Racial leadership of the Hutts theoretically is based upon a hereditary ruler called the Jabba and a Council of the Ancients representing the most powerful of Hutt clans.? Most Ork Warbosses and religious theocratic leaders recognize the Jabba and the Council of the Ancients as the legitiment rulers of all the Hutts, though within Republic space, the Hutt clans there has established their own Council of the Hutt Clans, which is closely allied with the League of Non-Humans.

Hutt religion tends toward the worship of Mork and Gork, though Hutts are usually less fanatical about promoting Ork religion than the Orks themselves.
