Kajidic / Legends Kajidic was the name of the Hutt philosophy which guided most of Hutt daily life and politics . It was developed by the Hutt Budhila Hestilic Amura after the Hutts relocated to Nal Hutta , following the Hutt Cataclysms . The Huttese word for kajidic is said to literally mean " Somebody ' s got to have it , why not us ? " Kajidic was also a loose Hutt term for their clans , their " business enterprises " and criminal syndicates , and for the archetypal superclan they believed was destined to eventually rule the galaxy . Separate clans would usually run their own kajidic in competition with other clans ' . The kajidics were governed by the Hutt Grand Council , which oversaw their operations , and each kajidic had an appointed leader , called a kajidii or lorda . The Vodrans , as vassals of the Hutts , also organized themselves in kajidics , though these were wholly subservient to Hutt kajidics . Hutt Kajidics . The Hutt Kajidics were criminal / business syndicates run as families by the Hutts and had their hands in all kinds of criminal ventures . Unlike the usual crime syndicate that operated in secret , the Hutt clans operated out in the open , claiming leadership over dozens of worlds . The Kajidics employed those of all species as vassals , such as the Nikto and Gamorreans . Though once being in constant conflict with each other — such as during the Hutt Cataclysms — the Hutt clans were kept in order by the Hutt Grand Council , the ruling body of the entire Hutt species , Hutt Space , and Hutt clans . However some rivalries could not be contained , as was the case with the prominent Besadii s and Desilijics , who were bitter enemies , and the Nem ' ro and Fa ' athra clans , both of whom had members that were major rivals . There had been several Kajidics that produced some very successful Hutts , such as Gorga Desilijic Aarrpo , Jiliac Desilijic Tiron , and Jabba Desilijic Tiure , all from clan Desilijic that proved to be very successful crime lords . Also , clan Besadii also produced some successful crime lords , such as Gardulla the Elder , Aruk Besadii Aora and Durga Besadii Tai . Clan Anjiliac produced some successful crime lords itself , such as Mika Anjiliac Chiera , a force - sensitive crime lord , and Kajidii Vedo Anjiliac Atirue . Also , the Illip clan produced the famous scientist , Dr . Juvard Illip Oggurobb . Hutt crime lords . The Hutts were famous for their ruthlessness , and success in the underworld . Many Hutts would ransack ships for their load . As masters of the criminal underworld , they would steal , cheat , and murder without regret . They often hired smugglers such as Han Solo to transport illegal spice . They would often have a fortress of some kind , often on remote planets , such as Jabba ' s Palace on Tatooine . Hutt fortresses would usually be guarded by selected mercenaries or bounty hunters . Gamorreans and Weequay were common species to fulfill this duty . Leading an organization of crooks and scum meant competition . The Hutts that got involved with criminal activity were often killed , or enslaved . Only the more cunning and clever Hutts , like Jabba , stayed at the top of the food chain . Some Hutts , like Jabba , had such an influence that they actually controlled entire planets . However , there were a few Hutts who didn ' t follow the lifestyle of a crime lord and stick to their Kajidics ' criminal activities , such as Juvard of the Illip clan , who became a droid engineer . Hutt kingpins often had torture chambers to deal with failures and unwanted guests . Other Hutts had pets which they would watch in enjoyment as the victim was devoured . Gardulla the Hutt had a krayt dragon , which , in irony , opened its jaws to receive her after Jango Fett interrogated her about a mysterious cult . Jabba the Hutt had his own rancor , which would eat anyone who fell into the pit beneath his audience chamber .
