Legend

this Hutt was the son of Groodo the Hutt. Boonda had once applied to the Corulag Academy, but had not been chosen to attend. Groodo had been furious, and attempted to make the Academy pay. However, Groodo was intercepted by Darth Maul before he could destroy the Academy, and the two Hutts fled. After reaching maturity and going into business for himself, Boonda became known as one of the rare individuals that actually ran a legitimate business, based on the planet Corulag. This "failing" led him to be manipulated by Movo Brattakin, who claimed he was dealing in droids who had been deliberately sabotaged with program traps. Brattakin, working through B-9D7, sent a cargo of droids to Boonda. Among the cargo were R2-D2 and C-3PO. B-9D7 also lured Olag Greck and Jace Forno to Boonda's moon, and when all were together, Brattakin's plan was launched. He had delivered two criminals into the hands of an honest Hutt, and Boonda took great pleasure in watching them bargain for their lives. He allowed R2-D2 and C-3PO to escape. During the height of the Galactic Civil War, Boonda established some of his most "criminal" activities, running weapons and selling supplies to the Alliance.
