HUTT CARTEL
ASSETS
The Cartel, like any criminal conglomerate is built on sources of income. We refer to those sources as Assets. Each Asset contributes to the generation of profit in a different way; some are legitimate businesses, others are smuggling rings, drug labs, slave traders, sporting arenas, recording studios, shipyards and private military corporations -- All owned by the Hutt Cartel, working towards the ultimate goal of profit, prosperity and power for the Grand Council of the Hutt Cartel and its members.
Below is a list of the notable assets and holdings of the Hutt Cartel, some of which were acquired under the Ona'bak Retrade network. This information is to be used OOC as well as IC to those who have the knowledge of the Cartel's assets. It is impossible to know every aspect of the web of network that the Cartel has their hand in, though this is a simple guide to some of those assets that your character may be aware of.
This is a list of legitimate businesses, criminal operations, planets, and other notable assets of the Cartel. These assets are divided into three different levels; Cartel, and Member. Cartel Assets are the largest, and typically the most widespread in Hutt Space, as well as throughout the greater galaxy. Member Assets are the smallest in size, representing business that have been formed IC, and whose expansion is more limited by the simple fact that such assets cannot grow without major backing from the Cartel or the Kajidics. On an OOC level this is to prevent single characters from becoming independent factions unto themselves without a greater level of oversight.
Cartel Assets
Legitimate Businesses
Back in the days before the fall of the Galactic Alliance, Rothana Heavy Engineering was a subsidiary of Kuat Drive Yards. However, after a rather disastrous business meeting, KDY decided to liquidate the company, along with the entire planet, to recuperate their losses. What no one realized at the time was that KDY's holdings were picked up by a single entity through a small army of shell corporations. That entity? The organization that would become known as the Hutt Cartel. The Hutt who led the effort was none other than Addipos the Elder, the mentor of former Granee Lorda Vero and Lorda Petar Anjiliac.
Over the last ten years, Addipos has used every means at his disposal to restore Rothana to its former glory, and then surpass it. The orbital shipyards and planet-side factories have been rebuilt and are churning out new technologies for the Cartel every day. More recently additional assets were folded into RHE, in order to boost its rise. This includes RevoGalactic, a former subsidiary of [aeon]CORP that was brought under the Rothana Banner following the dissolution of the corporation by Addipos. Additionally members of Praxus-Pondrevan were politely told that they should consider seeking employment with the renewed shipwright, giving it an experienced team of engineers to further aid the restoration. Other shipyards, and industries related to shipbuilding, in Hutt Space were also folded in RHE by the Granee Lorda, making it the largest shipwright in the Cartel.
In addition the shipyards, Rothana maintains the ability to manufacture heavy vehicles, as it did in the past, and the inclusion of some of these other organizations has only further improved that.

Formed in the days of the Retrade, Praxus-Pondervan was the result of the merging of Praxus Shipyards, and Pondervan Industries. Since then PPE has become well known throughout the galaxy for its high quality starships, and personal gear. Praxus-Pondervan has always been more about providing for the average denizen of the galaxy, and more recently it has doubled down on this niche, it's more military oriented designers have received opportunities for employment in Rothana Heavy Engineering they just couldn't refuse. The Praxus Shipyards themselves are small, located near Hollastin, having been moved there from Vergesso years ago. The yards are only capable of producing smaller vessels, no larger than 150 meters, and primarily produces starfighters, shuttles, and freighters of a high end make.

The largest mining concern in the Cartel, Maelibus started life as a subsidiary of [aeon]CORP, but had already become an independent entity even before Addipos dissolved the corporation and started dividing its former subsidiaries and assets. This was largely a result of the work done by Mjolla Varneslan, a Champio currently in charge of the mining group. Under her leadership, Maelibus has expanded its capabilities greatly, focusing on the mineral rich world of Christophsis. Under her leadership the corporation has taken control of four of the twelve voting seats on the Christophsis Corporate Council, and made itself a force to be reckoned with on the planet.
More recently, Addipos has folded the Troika Mining Corporation into Maelibus, giving it a large presence on Zonju. He has also given Maelibus control of several mining worlds that were once under the purview of the Anjiliac Kajidic in Hutt Space. A form of punishment for the recent spat between them and Besadii, that looks good to the other Kajidics, but in effect doesn't really hurt Anjiliac as Varneslan is the foremost Champio of the clan. As the largest mining organization in Cartel Space, Maelibus is responsible for most of the raw resource production in the area, and under the table, also plays an important role in spice mining.

Baobab Merchant Fleet
"Those who explore new worlds and make possible the exchange of knowledge and goods—who bring civilization"
The Baobab Merchant Fleet is one of the most respected, and finest, of the mercantile organizations in the galaxy. Using its history, reputation, and clout the BMF can gain access to a variety of markets, and is the primary means through which legitimate goods in Cartel Space are moved and transferred throughout the galaxy. Foodstuffs, raw resources, legal weaponry, and more mundane objects are all produced in great quantities within the Hutt's domain, and since the Cartel's rise to power it's been the Baobab Merchant Fleet that has served as the premiere shipping firm. While most of the ships, and goods that the Merchant Fleet makes use of appear wholly legitimate, there are also those which actually belong to the Kajidics of the Cartel. These ships are better designed for the haul of illicit goods, and often have an ST Box installed that makes them appear as legitimate members of the Baobab Merchant Fleet when outside of Cartel Space. In this regard, the Baobab Merchant Fleet is little more than a very large front for the Cartel's criminal enterprises. It also helps to keep Cartel operations abroad supplied, and the Merchant Marine Academy run by the Fleet on Manda is one of the few legitimate institutions in Cartel Space dedicated to the training of spacers.

A medical corporation established by the Cartel on Kamino, Kaminyzer Pharmaceuticals has recently absorbed many other corporations, and entities with similar work in Hutt Space on order of the Granee Lorda. GamorrCare is the most notable of these, as well as the former [aeon]CORP subsidiary, Lhyzer Pharmaceuticals. As opposed to the the portions of Kaminoan society more focused on genetics, and cloning, Kaminyzer Pharmaceutical is more focused on producing relatively mundane medical equipment, and resources. On the surface, it's a legitimate medical company, that dabbles in genetics on occasion, and has access to more Bacta than usual as result of its affiliation with the Cartel.
Under the surface however, the corporation is heavily involved with experimentation into Spice variants, and its potential applications not only as a drug, but also a medicinal substance, and anything else that they can dream up. The Cartel's practice of slavery also gives the corporation plenty of test subjects for their products, making it one part legitimate medical firm, one part drug operation, and one part horror story. Thus far the Kaminyzer Pharmaceuticals has kept a low profile, which isn't hard to do being based on the isolated world of Kamino, but as the Cartel gains further control over the Spice Trade, and searches for alternatives to the lost Bacta revenue it unlikely to remain low forever.

An old name that's recently experienced a revival as a result of Addipos' consolidations, and transfer of former [aeon]CORP assets. Some of the major of these were Bohemian Arms, Boonda Droidworks, and Kaminoan Armorsmiths. Still primarily a weapons, and droid manufacturer, GSI has once again become the biggest name in weapons in Hutt Space. Gone however, are the days of fixating on super weapons and harebrained schemes that revolve around getting samples of metals for whatever reason. The GSI of today is a much more straightforward corporation, with a narrower focus. It no longer produces speeders, starfighters, or more exotic weapons really. Now it focuses more on traditional firearms, armor, droids, and occasionally experiments in animal weaponization.

Like Maelibus, Natrori started life as a subsidiary for [aeon]CORP before growing into the much larger organization it is today. Natori is the single largest Private Security/Mercenary organization in the Hutt Cartel, and makes up a portion of the Hutt's Military Force as well. While generally in the employ of the Hutt's for the protection of their assets, Natori remains a legitimate business, offering private security to any who can pay, and haven't drawn the ire of the Cartel. The mercenary group handles everything from basic security, to bodyguard duties, to training planetary defense groups in Hutt, and Independent, space. Currently headed by two Cartel Champio under the code names "Ember" and "Flint", Natori might be shady, being funded heavily and run by the Cartel, but the group is always professional. Unlike other businesses in Hutt Space, Natori didn't grow as much as a result of Addipos' consolidation efforts, as it already contained the majority of mercenary work in the Cartel.

Zel Transport and Shipping Corporation is a newly created third party logistics enterprise, primarily functioning within the Y’Toub system and Hutt space more broadly. ZTS, as the company is more widely known, functions as a specialized warehousing, shipping, and freight transport corporation. It does not ferry passengers. At least not publically.
In addition to providing legitimate warehouse and transport services for the Hutt Cartel and other firms, ZTS serves as a front organization for an underground arms dealership specializing in impossible to find arms, armor, and technology from the remnants of the Hapes Consortium. While ZTS also ships and stores other black market weapons for the Cartel, it is the special connection with sources still in the Hapes Cluster that sets the corporation apart from other, existing black market arm dealers.
Currently, those trade routes are used negligibly, as major shipments are largely devoted simply to ferrying shipments between Nal Hutta to Nar Shaddaa, although large, private orders can be made elsewhere in Hutt space. The major, long-term goals of the corporation include the expansion of its fleet and warehousing infrastructure to allow the company to move and store its freight at major trade hubs throughout Hutt territory. As a third party logistics corporation, ZTS seeks to actively improve and increase the efficiency with which bulk freight is moved and stored in Hutt space.
Minimally staffed, the warehouse is almost entirely automated; droids leased from Borga and other Hutts serve to both stock and defend the ground facility. Most of the company’s employees are divided between sales and transportation, and only a fraction of the sentient workers are even aware of the company’s more illicit operations.

While ZTS also ships and stores other black market weapons for the Cartel, it is the special connection with sources still in the Hapes Cluster that sets the corporation apart from other, existing black market arm dealers.
OPERATIONS
The vast majority of its weapon sales are conducted within Nar Shaddaa’s gun markets. A newly established venture, ZTS currently maintains a small, 600 square meter warehouse just outside the Jiguuna spaceport on Nal Hutta. The location provides easy access to major shipping routes such as the Ootmian Pabol, Pabol Hutta, Shag Pabol, the Kaaga Run, and the Hollastin Run.Currently, those trade routes are used negligibly, as major shipments are largely devoted simply to ferrying shipments between Nal Hutta to Nar Shaddaa, although large, private orders can be made elsewhere in Hutt space. The major, long-term goals of the corporation include the expansion of its fleet and warehousing infrastructure to allow the company to move and store its freight at major trade hubs throughout Hutt territory. As a third party logistics corporation, ZTS seeks to actively improve and increase the efficiency with which bulk freight is moved and stored in Hutt space.
ASSETS
The ZTS corporation has a relatively meagre infrastructure at present. Following a generous loan of 2.6 million credits from newly appointed Con Lorda Jack Tamblyn, ZTS purchased the warehouse on Nal Hutta and a single Corellian Engineering Corporation Action VI bulk freighter. Given the limited scope of current business operations, the freighter adequately serves the needs of the small business. Minimally staffed, the warehouse is almost entirely automated; droids leased from Borga and other Hutts serve to both stock and defend the ground facility. Most of the company’s employees are divided between sales and transportation, and only a fraction of the sentient workers are even aware of the company’s more illicit operations.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Although ZTS is a Hutt subsidiary company fully staffed and capable of engaging in business, from time to time the company solicits outside mercenary help. Such requests for assistance may involve escorting a particularly sensitive cargo, expanding the business’ infrastructure and assets, eliminating unaffiliated criminal elements detrimental to continued business operations, and any other number of specialized tasks. Such postings may pay credits, equipment, or a combination of the two. While preference may be given to official members of the Cartel, the jobs themselves are open to all.Product catalog
