EAFSAMWISE Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 SPOILERS So as of the end of the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion, the Hutt Cartel was definitely allied with the Republic, albeit reluctantly (it's official enough that there's even a lore entry about it). However, we hear almost nothing about them except it seems they're acting on their own and even teaming up with the Exchange during the Mek-Sha storyline in Onslaught. Did the alliance end off-screen or is there somethin else going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 From the end of RotHC to the beginning of Onslaught is (roughly) eight or nine years of elapsed time, so it's easy to see how that alliance could have broken up somewhere. It might, of course, be a genuine storytelling error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDutchman Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I seem ot dimly recall there being a conversation option for republic players where you learn that the Hutts managed to weasel out of most of their obligations during the chaos of the EE's invasion Even if i'm remembering wrong, it seems quite plausible.

Interesting. Either way they should have a more concrete status for the Hutts, given their amount of power. They've practically disappeared except for a minor reference in Onslaught during Mek-Sha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember something to that effect as well. I can't recall where that conversation takes place though. Interesting.

The advertising for the event described that, "[t]he once powerful organization no longer instills respect and fear." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Feast of Prosperity event doesn't seem to happen often and I missed it or wasn't interested when it came out last fall so I am not aware of story connections in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feast is their autumn event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
