Nullada Nullada was a hermaphrodite Shell Hutt , a clan of the Hutt species , with a male persona . By 1 BBY , the immense being , who used a repulsorlift cylinder to stay mobile , was one of the elders and leaders of the Shell Hutts on their planetoid base of Circumtore . That year , Oph Nar Dinnid , who had a bounty on his head , traveled to Circumtore for refuge , and a group of bounty hunters led by the infamous Boba Fett followed him . However , although Dinnid was worth money to the Shell Hutts and Nullada , Gheeta , another Shell Hutt , took out his old grudge against Fett by killing Dinnid and sending mercenaries to attack the hunters . In the resulting battle , Gheeta was killed , and the mercenaries all but destroyed , leaving Fett and the surviving hunters victorious . Fett speculated that Nullada would be the one to seize most of Gheeta ' s estate after the Shell Hutt ' s death . Biography . Nullada was an elder of the Shell Hutts , a clan of the slug - like Hutt species , and was a hermaphrodite , though he had a male personality . Sometime before 1 BBY , Gheeta , another Shell Hutt , was tasked with building a terminal and diplomatic reception area on the Shell Hutts ' base of Circumtore , a planetoid in Hutt Space . Gheeta hired the freelance architect Emd Grahvess to build it for the Shell Hutts , though Gheeta planned to kill the man after he finished the job so Gravhess would never top his work on Circumtore . However , Gravhess placed a bounty on his own head , which was collected by the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett , who snatched the man from Gheeta ' s clutches . Nullada and the other Shell Hutts watched as Gheeta was disgraced by the event , causing him to fall in the ranks of the Shell Hutts . Later , by 1 BBY , Nullada had grown quite immense in size , so much so that his repulsorlift cylinder , a suit that most of the Shell Hutts wore around their body , dwarfed many of the other Shell Hutts ' gear . That year , the Lyunesi Oph Nar Dinnid had a bounty placed on his head because he had offended a liege lord of the Narrant system by sleeping with the liege ' s alpha concubine , and Dinnid fled to the Circumtore system . The Shell Hutts let him stay on Circumtore , because Dinnid had memory augmentor s placed in his brain that were stuffed with top secret information regarding the business dealings and records of the Narrant system , which were profitable for the Shell Hutts . Since the augmentors released secrets slowly over time , Nullada , the leader of the group on Circumtore by now , and the Shell Hutts were keeping him as a long term investment . However , a team of bounty hunters from the Bounty Hunters ' Guild soon arrived at the Shell Hutt ' s door , as they intended to capture Dinnid for the bounty on his head . Led by Boba Fett , the team consisted of D ' harhan , Zuckuss , Bossk , and one of the IG - 88 assassin droids . The bounty hunters were permitted to land on Circumtore , but they had to leave all of their weapons behind , due to the security measures that had been enhanced since Fett took the architect . Nullada and a group of Shell Hutts welcomed the hunters in a large hall in the diplomatic reception area , and the elder Shell Hutt watched as Fett tried to do business with Gheeta over the matter of Dinnid , though the disgraced Shell Hutt soon began to let his grudge over the Gravhess incident show . Although Nullada tried to talk Gheeta out of vengeance , the other Shell Hutt continued on that path , and ripped from the ground a dais over which he had been hovering with his repulsorlifts . Amidst the wreckage of the dais was revealed the body of Dinnid , who Gheeta had had killed earlier ; the Shell Hutt had contacted the people in the Narrant system who had placed the bounty on Dinnid ' s head , and had been paid an amount of money to ensure that the secrets that Dinnid carried never came to light . The killing of Dinnid outraged Nullada , who was furious that Gheeta had both gone behind the rest of the Shell Hutts ' backs and cost them the secrets that Dinnid had been carrying . However , Gheeta continued implementing his plan to kill Fett , and had a group of mercenaries that were stationed around the hall attack Fett and his bounty hunters . However , before they could strike , Fett detonated a bomb that Gravhess had put in the hall when the architect had built it , dazing and stunning most of the occupants of the hall , including Nullada . The explosion tipped over Nullada ' s repuslorlift cylinder , and also snapped the ropes that kept his fat rolls from covering his features . The bounty hunters engaged the mercenaries after commandeering weapons , leaving the terrified Shell Hutts and Nullada caught in the crossfire . The skirmish soon ended after Fett reactivated the killing potential of D ' harhan , a cyborg with a powerful laser cannon for a head ; at the sight of D ' harhan released , the Shell Hutts in the room retreated inside their armor and had their cylinders ' hatches seal over their faces to protect them . The mercenaries were obliterated by the cannon , and Gheeta was killed , though D ' harhan also fell . Nullada did not mourn Gheeta ' s demise , and Fett later speculated that Nullada would be the one that seized most of Gheeta ' s estate . Personality and traits . By 1 BBY , Nullada was one of the Shell Hutts ' greatest in size , and as such , he dwarfed many others of his clan . Nullada was so large that ropelike lines were the only thing holding the fat rolls on his face from eclipsing his mouth and yellow eyes . He was permitted to grow to his size because of the repulsorlift cylinder that he and the rest of the members of the Shell Hutts each wore . These cylinders encased the entire body of the Shell Hut , save for the head , and had mechanical arms that could be operated by the Shell Hutt ' s hands inside the cylinder , as well as a hatch that could cover the user ' s head if need be . Nullada ' s cylinder was proportional to his size . Nullada was a member of the Shell Hutts , a clan that was considered as greedy as their other Hutt bretheren . The elder thought that business should be done without letting one ' s emotions get evolved , and tried to make Gheeta forget the past and deal with Fett without letting revenge come into the way . However , Nullada was unaware of how detailed Gheeta ' s plot for revenge was until the younger Hutt commenced his plans to kill Fett . Already unamused at Gheeta ' s quest for vengenace , the elder Shell Hutt was furious when Gheeta killed Dinnid , as it interfered with business . Nullada was also angry that the younger Shell Hutt outstepped his rights , and had negotiated a deal behind the others ' backs . Additionally , the giant Hutt was severely angered at the destruction caused to the diplomatic facility during the skirmish . Behind the scenes . Nullada first appeared in a lengthy flashback in " The Mandalorian Armor " , by K . W . Jeter and released in 1998 . Nullada was also supplied as a sample name for Hutts in 2003 ' s " Ultimate Alien Anthology " , and the old Shell Hutt later received an entry in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " , published in 2008 .
