Jabba Desilijic Tiure, better known as Jabba the Hutt, was a male Hutt and one of the most powerful crime lords of the galaxy, whose criminal career spanned over several centuries. Jabba was the head of a large criminal empire known as Jabba Desilijic Tiure's criminal empire, based on the world of Tatooine, a planet that was ruled by him.
Early life[]
Jabba was born on Nal Hutta at the small Hajnal Settlement. He was raised by his father Zorba Desilijic Tiure, who taught him how to cheat, negotiate properly and smuggle goods. He spent the first 67 years of his life there, until he moved to Bilbousa, the capital of Nal Hutta.
His first business was selling spices and other narcotics on Nal Hutta. At the young age of 70, he founded a small smuggling ring, the Ootmian-Fierfek. He earned a fortune this way and made a name for himself in Bilbousa at a young age. Thanks to his early success, his father gave him a small piece of land on Tatooine. After Jabba had already gathered a small band of mercenaries and petty criminals around him, he handed over the management of his smuggling ring to the Klatooinian gangster Mokolf J'egaal, who initially also acted as Jabba's representative on Nal Hutta. Jabba now moved his criminal activities to Tatooine, to the city of Mos Eisley, where he earned his money trading spice and blackmailing local moist farmers. His father had given him a small estate here, which later became known as the Desilijic Complex.
Rivalry with Alkhara[]
Jabba's influence on Tatooine grew, attracting the attention of several other criminals, including the bandit Alkhara. Alkhara felt threatened by Jabba's increasing power and to intimidate him, he set fire to one of Jabba's most important warehouses, where expensive spice was stored. In this attack, Jabba not only lost a huge amount of money but also 12 of his workers, who died in the fire. Staff was expensive and Spice even more, so Jabba vowed to take revenge on Alkhara. He began spending more of his money on mercenaries to help him capture Alkhara's Palace, an old B'omarr Monastery, and overthrow the bandit. The attack was successful and Jabba had driven Alkhara away.
After Jabba took control of the old monastery, he started making more money by trading with larger groups like the Palgumii Cartel and the Pyke Syndicate. He acted as their middleman for spice and weapon smuggling.
