Using his Defilers, the Zann Consortium corrupted many of the Cartel's planets and took control of Saleucami. Later on, Zann broke out of Kessel and rebuilt his forces. Since the artifact was quite valuable, the Hutt Cartel acquired all assets of the Zann Consortium as compensation. Zann was imprisoned on the planet Kessel. Zann was caught, however, and he gave the artifact to Urai Fen, his second in command. Jabba also set up a communications relay on Saleucami to keep an eye on the Empire.ĭuring the Galactic Civil War, Jabba formed an alliance with Tyber Zann which was quite successful, until Zann stole his valuable Sith artifact on Felucia. Sometime before the Rebels had emerged, the cartel took control of a few planets such as Felucia. Although the Galactic Empire did not tolerate lawlessness, they nonetheless were cautious with dealing with the Hutts due to the latter party playing an important role in the Outer Rim's economy, and as such, any direct actions to shut down the smuggler trade required clearance from Imperial High Command beforehand.

However, due to the subterfuge of Imperial Intelligence agents, the Republic was unsuccessful in gaining the Hutts' support against the Empire.
