Relayed message to Lord [redacted]. Message will self-destruct after playback.

It is as your eminence predicted. The Hutts are in disarray, having been unable to stabilize their economy after Jakku. The New Republic is continuously pushing sanctions against systems in Hutt Space, condemning slave trade and illicit drug production. Hutt interest in Oba Diah is increasing, since they started to prosper, aided by [redacted], a recent benefactor.

We have arranged meetings with the Besadii on Sleheyron. I am confident that we will be able to take over their tibanna refineries in exchange for saving their slave trade. We are working with the garrison on Mogoshyn, and they have agreed to support this operation with equipment, and ancillary specialists to get the refineries back to peak production.

If the deal goes through, I estimate that we will be looking at several thousand slaves. We will need to do a work-ready assessment in transit. I need confirmation for the location [redacted] of the first slave shipments.

I will report back once the deal is done.

- Lord Siv Korho

The Hutt barge made a hissing noise as it left of in the distance. The massive Hutt crept around facing the full vista of slave districts. "Jee waueoo cay bargon". The Kyuzo nodded. "It is a good deal.. Sleheyron will be prosperous again!"  

A Klatoonian smuggler delivers another batch of Twi'lek slaves.

Twi'leks being processed.

A slave's fate is uncertain. Not all will get the honor of rebuilding the Empire. Some will... Please in other ways...

Exploring the ideas around a less known Hutt system like Sleheyron has been interesting. There's not a lot of story material on Sleheyron, but it is a prominent world with enough interesting details (Slave trade, Tibanna refinement etc.). I imagine Sleheyron is a more run-down and gritty version of Nar Shaddaa. This also shows the less "Imperial" side of the SCS. Clandestine dealings in order to keep the wheels turning.

I took a lot of inspiration from this Assassin's Creed concept art.

The build without figs.

A lower angle on the build.

The build comes with full interior. This is the small cell on level 2.

Always nice to work on a nicely detailed floor. Tried to give it a rusty feel, with multiple layers below.

Someone forgot a body here. This place must really stink!

More bones.

Thanks for watching!

I am in love with this build! The character designs are all amazing, but nothing tops the Hutt with a waistcoat and hat! The lights in the cells add a nice touch. Such a dark concept handled so beautifully. Not for the slaves, of course.

Nice build Bjorn and I like the subtle details you’ve highlighted, such as the body and bones under the flooring. It may at stink indeed!
