Legion of Quay

The Legion of Quay (Idarbamak Quay in the Weequay language) was a Weequay military force that served the Hutts. Named after Quay, the Weequay moon god, the Legion of Quay was founded during the ancient war between the Hutt Empire and Xim's Tionese kingdom. The Legion was initially formed by Weequay tribes to combat the Hutts, though eventually became a vassal of the Hutts. The overseer of the Legion held the title Idarbam. At its peak during the Old Sith Wars, the legion boasted a force of 2 million Weequay warriors. As slave-soldiers of the Hutts, the Legion of Quay served in all of the Hutts' conquests until the Hutt Empire fractured into independent territories controlled by noble clans, at which point the Legion of Quay was divided into several hundred warbands, each led by its own Idarbam; while some of these bands went on to become pirates or bounty hunters, many Hutt lords continued to feature Weequay soldiers in their forces throughout galactic history.

For the entirety of their history, Idarbamak warriors and their successors wielded shields, vibropikes, vibro-axes, and slugthrowers. As time progressed, many Weequay slave-warriors adopted the use of blasters.
