Zietta the Hutt

Reference Book: Star Wars Saga Edition Threats of the Galaxy

Affiliations: The Anjiliac Clan, The Hutt Kajidics, Tis Dolan

Born into a wealthy criminal family on Nal Hutta, Zietta always seemed to be last in line. Never as conniving as her competitors, she remained the butt of jokes for decades. Even though she was just as ambitious as any self- respecting Hutt, Zietta lacked the means to achieve what she wanted. Embarrassed by her apparent lack of skill, the clan elders sent her to Point Nadir to serve as an adjutant to her cousin, Tirello.

Tirello had been overseeing Point Nadir for almost a century when Zietta came to the shadowport. He assigned menial tasks to Zietta, never bothering to hide his distaste for her. She grew to resent him, but remained helpless. Any other Hutt would have arranged for Tirello's violent retirement, but Zietta lacked the allies necessary to engineer such a contract. It was then that Zietta met Tis Dolan, a Wroonian expatriate. Dolan treated Zietta with the respect that the Hutt had craved, quickly becoming her right hand and close confidant. Zietta spoke to her of ending Tirello's reign, and Dolan listened intently.

When Tirello was assassinated, it came as a complete surprise to Zietta. Dolan urged her to step up and fill the leadership vacuum. Though skeptical, Zietta did as Dolan suggested. With Dolan's support, everything fell snugly into place. Within a month, Zietta had secured her position as the Anjiliac boss of Point Nadir. With Tis Dolan by her side, Zietta has brought new prosperity to her clan and earned the respect of the other criminal factions that are active within the shadowport.

Zietta is a Hutt in her middle years, with a moist, dusky gray hide, and yellow-red eyes. Her most distinctive affectation is a ruby-studded gold hoop that adorns her left nostril. Though Zietta is secretly unsure of herself and lacking in self-confidence, she makes a good show of typical Huttese pomp and arrogance, especially when Tis Dolan is by her side.
