«My dear senator,» Nem'ro's booming voice came across the transmission, followed by a loud, rumbling laughter. «This all could have been avoided. I did not want this fate for you, but you left me with little choice. I commend what you have been able to accomplish, but, alas, I do despise loose...

The Flying Dianoga emerged from hyperspace over Brentaal IV without much fanfare. With the recent conclusion of the Hutt-Republic War, the appearance of a Hutt flagship in Republic space would usually send starfighter scrambling, but Brentaal IV was still corrupted and the Hutt crime lord knew...

Things with the Sith might have gone south — in fact, the entire galaxy was going to bantha poodoo right now — but, where the planet Ryloth was concerned, Nem'ro was still the big boss. It remained to be seen how long that would last, what with the Republic's recent victory over the Hutt Cartel...

Nem'ro rarely ventured off of Ryloth anymore. From his throneworld, he raked in riches and lived a comfortable life. There were few things that could draw him away from his jewel, but The Wook was one of them. Not because he was particularly fond of the Wookiee—as a matter of fact, he didn't...

Holograms were utterly worthless for determining body language. They could be doctored and parts of the body could be obscured from the camera responsible for rendering the image. But the inflections in one's voice and the way one's calmness suddenly dissolves into bitter, angry, ranting? Even a...

Nem'ro laughed again. This time, it was deeper and longer, and, this time, his court roared along with him. «It's not that I overestimate my power, it is that you underestimate it. How do you think my agents got onto Brentaal to execute your little operation so easily? Hm? How do you think we...

Across the galaxy, in Nem'ro's court room, it was dangerously silent. The court, which was usually jubilant and rambunctious, was absolutely still and all eyes were on Nem'ro. The Hutt crime lord's eyes, however, were on the hologram of Senator Cormond—unblinking. Then, almost at once, the giant...

He certainly hadn't. Nem'ro was a lot of things. Manipulative, greedy, murderous, cunning, and, yes, even cowardly. But he was also a Hutt through-and-through. He never forgot a deal once he had struck it—especially not one with a politician. Politicians were almost wormier than a Hutt in many...

Things on Ryloth had been quiet for some time. Nem'ro had stepped down from the Hutt Council, but maintained his lifestyle as a wealthy and greedy Hutt crime lord in the Outer Rim. For quite awhile, there had been peace, at least in his life, as he watched the Coreward worlds crumble. Alderaan...

The Wook's version of praise made the great Hutt chuckle. He was without a doubt the strangest Wookiee Nem'ro had ever met. But that wasn't a bad thing. But what interested him the most was the Wookiee's suggestion to dethrone Balla. Balla was the last obstacle in Nem'ro's way. Without Balla...

Nem'ro took the news into account. More proof that the Syndicate was still in power, despite the recent nosedive in membership... at least among the leadership positions. He weighed some of the information presented to him. The Wookiee's acquisition of Republic military decryption equipment was...

The new palace in Lessu was nearing completion. It was far more extravagant than the one Nem'ro had procured years ago in Ryloth's deserts, and certainly more so than the Besadii palace on Nal Hutta. More, the central spire of this palace was the perfect place to convene a meeting of his allies...

Nem'ro took a long, measured sip. «It's really quiet simple. The human boy I helped to put on the Council is an ally of mine. Effectively, that gives us two Council seats. If you were to join me, we would have three: more resources, wealth, and accumulated manpower than the Sith queen's little...

Nem'ro had Asirra read. He knew better than to believe that this meeting was as pleasant as either of them were pretending it to be. But both of them stood to gain much from the outcome of it. Nem'ro knew Asirra had been fanatically loyal to Gulla. The Archon title was a carry-over from the Hutt...

The planet Mataou reminded Nem'ro of Tatooine. Deserts stretched as far as the eye could see. At least his own throne world of Ryloth had foliage and some semblance of wildlife. But the great Hutt lorda had not come to the Anoat sector to admire the scenery. Mataou was the throne world of one of...
