A Statement from Her Eminence Mordeth the Hutt
Translated from Huttese and broadcast on Syndicate channels only:
My fellow Galactic Slime,
There has been much uncertainty in the Five Syndicates lately. Za Fenn put a big red target on its back after that catastrophe on Mon Cala. The Pykes and the Hutts had begun to move again, making deals, claiming territory. I can appreciate the confusion this can cause.
I can also appreciate that this is likely why the Senator of Ord Mantell—whom I gather was working for one of you—marched into my yacht on Ord Mantell shouting insults after I rolled out the red carpet for him, hoping to make a profitable business arrangement. He thought his connections protected him. They did not. Now his corpse lies melted on my carpet and his skull adorns the necklace on my armor.
I do not wish bloodshed between us Syndicates. Frankly, it is bad for business. But let the Senator serve as a reminder: Ord Mantell belongs to the Hutts. Ord Mantell is my territory. If you want to do business in my territory, you pay tribute and follow my rules, or you will follow the Senator into a smoldering grave. Let us pray there are no future unfortunate incidents from here on out.
END STATEMENT
