Five Hutt families

The Five Hutt Families were influential families within Hutt daily society.

History
The heads of the Five Hutt families held positions on the Hutt Grand Council. Among their "ranks" were: Arok, Gorga, Oruba, Marlo, and Jabba.

During the Clone Wars, the heads had a meeting that was held to talk about the release of Ziro Desilijic Tiure, Jabba's uncle, from a Republic prison on Coruscant, in 21 BBY. So, they hired Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane to break the purple Hutt out. Ziro had managed to get his hands on the Hutt Council records, a holodiary that cataloged the nefarious deeds of the Council.

A year later, the Shadow Collective, included Darth Maul, Savage Opress, Pre Vizsla, the Death Watch, and the Black Sun, came to Nal Hutta to form an alliance with the families, but the meeting turned into a skirmish and the Hutts sent bounty hunters on the Collective members. But while escaping, Oruba had gotten wounded and trapped inside the Council Hall and was unable to escape. Oruba was later killed by Oppress.

Behind the Scenes
The family heads were inspired by mobsters from gangster films/movies, most of the Hutt Council members were played by Edward G. Robinson and Marlon Brando.
