Legend

this is one of the most powerful Hutt kajidics, and was ruled by Aruk during the early years of the New Order. It was Besadii that created the slave trade on the planet Ylesia, placing Teroenza in command while reaping profit both from spice production and slaves. Besadii then established a loose alliance with the Empire, supplying slaves from the Ylesian operation in return for exemptions from taxes. They tried to cripple the Desilijic clan by employing Drell pirates to attack their spice shipments, but they were discovered by the quick piloting and military knowledge of Han Solo. In the aftermath of the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, Besadii began raising the price of processed spice in an effort to weed out the lesser kajidics. When Jiliac called a convocation of the ruling Hutts, Jabba eloquently used the fact that Besadii had escaped from th Battle of Nar Shaddaa without a single loss to sway a vote against Besadii. As a result, the Hutt Council voted that Besadii be fined 1,000,000 credits - to be evenly distributed among the other kajidics - as well as lower the cost of processed spice.
