The death of Jabba the Hutt left a power vacuum that the remaining Hutt clans are desperate to fill. Once the undisputed masters of the underworld, the Hutts now struggle to maintain their dominance as rival syndicates close in. To reclaim their position, they need strong allies—and to separate the powerful from the expendable, they have issued a challenge: whoever uncovers Jabba’s lost treasure will earn their favor, unimaginable wealth, and a place among the new ruling elite.
But the call has drawn more than just outlaws. Agents of the New Republic move in the shadows, to observe Hutt activity and prevent another galactic crime empire from rising. Imperial remnants see an opportunity to rekindle old alliances and restore their grip on the Outer Rim. Corporate interests—always hungry for new markets and lucrative deals—quietly dispatch their own operatives, hoping to secure influence over the future of the galactic underworld. As treasure hunters, spies, and warlords converge on the hunt, the race for Jabba’s lost hoard is no longer just a battle for riches—it is a struggle for power that will shape the galaxy for decades to come.
Welcome to Episode III: The Hunt for the Treasure of the Hutts, the first episode of the Shadow War arc.
