1.0 - Acquisition: The Hyperdrive Specialist

Shortly before Mala joined the crew something significant happened that exposed some of the secret slave trading being done by Tirello to Popara the Hutt, leader of Anjiliac. Furious at the underhanded scheming, his wrath was significant. Naturally, no Huttese came to harm (though Sleemo and others were basically exiled to dry, cold planets that were warts on the rump of the Anjiliac business empire). The non-Hutt entourage, however, was famously decimated. Hunted down and slain to a man. This dealt a serious blow to Tirello's efforts and in true Hutt fashion, he is rather pissed off about it.

Kwenn Space Station is somewhat in flux these days. The Imperials have and police a couple levels of the station as a way to ostensibly exert "control" over Hutt space in the traditional fiction maintained by both groups. The remainder of the station is under Hutt control and various kajidics (or clans) vie for control of the station in underhanded, Huttese fashion. As folks who have frequented this part of space, you're well aware of the underlying politics that affect the station and your livelihoods.

The primary clan that controls the station is the Desilijic, headed by the notorious Jabba the Hutt. Jabba is not personally involved in Kwenn, of course, as he leads the clan from his opulent palace on Tatooine. Desilijic control 2 out of the five seats on the ruling council of the Hutts and therefore have immense influence on the station. That said, other kajidics are not fans of the Desilijic and do what they can to undermine them and wrest control to this critical entry point into Hutt space. One of those is the Anjiliac clan. Although not an ancient clan (and this has specific meaning in Huttese politics), they are nonetheless feared and brutal (having exterminated another clan entirely -- something basically unheard of). The current leader of the Anjiliac kajidic is well known for divesting his clan of slave trade.

...but not all members of his clan agree. Tirello the Hutt is an influential member of the Anjiliac kajidic and has been attempting to maintain the slave trade. The internal politics of the Anjiliacs has become something of a scandal in the outlaw fringes you inhabit. Sort of like a sports team rivalry -- but with potentially significant consequences on the station or the region. One particular event is noteworthy and known by anyone with rudimentary connections to the cartels.
