I'm sure they'll bounce back given the popularity of the cartel market and the strength of cartel coins as a galactic currency
Plus they control the GTN and have an entire wing of each faction's fleet to themselves.

HUTT POWAH!!!

In other words, there are those Hutts who work independently of the regular Hutt Cartel.

But isn't the Cartel Bazaar separate from the BBA? While it may host it it is not one in the same.

I really like those kind of posts involving the lore and the npcs, Bioware should do them more often.

Concerning the BBA, I always assumed they were one and the same, especially after the events on Makeb, where the Republic took - supposedly - control of most of the Hutt Cartel's assets. This is further reinforced in this latest "State Of The Galaxy":
Quote:
(...)

Absorption of the bulk of the Hutt Cartel’s assets after the Makeb debacle brought only short-term gains, and only after the substantial expense necessary to bring those Cartel operations in line with Republic interests and legal codes.

(...)

Many elements of the Cartel that weren’t directly absorbed into the Republic by force are continuing to operate, but with almost no direct cooperation or coordination beyond the continued use of the “Cartel” name.

Besides, if they work independently of the main Hutt Cartel, why would they even share a whole area with them?

anyone else notice that this could also be setting us up to fight against the shroud and it's forces at a later date?

For example, are the Republic stories all connected? If so, do these stories conflict with the Imperial story-lines? Or is it that all 8 story-lines happen together and there's 4 heroes on both sides?

An example of this issue would be

So I really don't know how to look at the story, or how it was intended to be viewed.
There are two major storylines

There is the class storylines from 1 - 50 and there is the Faction Storyline thats from 1 to Endgame.

Both Story arcs interact with each other and all class stories happen at the same time.
