Jiguuna
Jiguuna
One of the oldest industrial towns on the Planet of the Hutts, the so called 'Glorious Jewel', Jiguuna made its way into the history books back in the days of the old republic when it served as a hub for trade, crime and Shvash Gas Trading. Now it serves as a holding zone for the so called 'old money' of the Hutts, a cash bantha for Oligarchs who have converted the town in a sprawling morass of Palaces and Refineries for Gas and other energy fuels from far and wise. Poverty is rife, but for those at the top, the wealth they control is beyond imagining.
Pictured Above: The Vesajilic Trading House, a dormant refinery on the outskirts of the settlement. Trading in Shvash Gas, as well as the Gas imported from their operations as part of the Desajilic Kajadic, the Refinery is an up and comer in the Settlement despite the families already vast wealth and influence.
That was why his father was so arrogant, he had to be. It was part of him now, part of the act that kept him, and by extension his family, rising up through the ranks. Show strength, and you have strength, his father had always said, and it was true - for a match-work of his hard work, and sheer brutality had got him where he was today. Collectively the Vesajlics where one of the wealthiest non-council families in the Cartel, controlling all the gas to come off Bespin, a vast industry of party barges, smuggling and drug running in Jiguuna as well as their more recent race-track possession on Ryloth.
His father had also recently gone into the sale of exotic animals, and Durga suspected that his elder was dealing with someone in the Imperium, for he often went on 'business trips' to the Imperial Border. And now, he had yet further plans, plans Durga would pay a vital part in. He was going to consolidate the Gas and Energy Industry in the Core Worlds of the Cartel. The plan was a convuluted one, that would ultimately lead to the merger and mutual profit of all the Hutts in the area, under the Vesajilics of course, and would require that the local Hutts 'came to understand the view of the family' as his father had put it.
This plan of course required some additional help, for today as the two Hutts went to meet with some of the local bosses, they would be taking some security with them. Security of the best kind.
