“Let the Empire think they control the galaxy – we know where the true power lies.”
Name your vice: gambling, luxury, spice, or beauty, perhaps? Whatever your pleasure, you can find it in abundance in Hutt Space - provided you’re willing to pay. Smugglers, freelancers, and mercenaries flock to the galaxy’s many Hutt-controlled hives of scum and villainy to fulfill their depraved desires or make a quick profit. Opportunity is abundant, but it comes at a perilously steep price. Anyone who flies Hutt Space lanes and hauls their questionable cargo must continuously ask themselves how far they’re willing to go in the name of cold, hard credits.
Home to lethal political posturing, high-stakes smuggling, and decadent luxuries, Hutt Space is one of the most dangerous and profitable regions in the galaxy. In Lords of Nal Hutta, a supplement for Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, players venture into this lawless sector where the Empire has little power, immense wealth lives side by side with terrible poverty, and any deal might result in terrible pain or tremendous profit. You’ll find ample descriptions of several Hutt planets and countless details about Hutt culture in Lords of Nal Hutta, enabling you not only to create complex Hutt PCs and NPCs, but stage an entire campaign in Hutt Space.
The infamous black markets that litter the seedy underbelly of Hutt Space offer virtually any armaments imaginable, offering everything from the small but powerful blasters of the Hutts to the bizarre tensor rifles of the Sakiyans and the deadly cortosis staves of the Morgukai. Accordingly, Lords of Nal Hutta contains profiles for a wide range of new weapons, armor, and gear, even exotic weapons that spew acid and poison gas. The wealth of new gear extends far beyond weaponry, though, most notably including some cybernetic favorites of the Ganks. On Nar Shaddaa it is easy to find a back alley doctor willing to replace a limb or implant an artificial device, but only if you’ve got the credits.
At the edge of the Empire, where Imperial laws fail to check violence and greed, you’re sure to encounter the Hutts. You may perform in a decadent Hutt palace, make a deal with Gardulla in order to get supplies for the Rebellion, or become indebted to Jabba because of a bad smuggling run. With Lords of Nal Hutta, you can integrate the Hutts’ aggressive politics and black market economy into your campaigns, and even participate in their devious schemes as an aspiring Hutt yourself. In Hutt Space, the only law is avarice, and the only limit is ambition.
