Legend

this young Hutt was a member of the Desilijic kajidic, and was one of Jabba's nephews. Grubba was being groomed to take over the gambling side of the Desilijic operation, and was on his way to train with Jabba when he was kindapped. Grubba was rescued from the Restful Nights Hotel on Faldos by Han Solo, shortly after the Battle of Yavin, after the young Hutt had been kidnapped by the Whiphid crimelord known as Black Tongue. Solo hoped to turn over Grubba to his uncle, Jabba the Hutt, in exchange for wiping out the bounty that was on his head. When they arrived on Tatooine, Jabba demanded Grubba and ten thousnad credits to remove the bounty, and had Solo imprisoned until he could decide. In the meantime, the bounty hunter Eron Stonefield had been searching for Han Solo, so she kidnapped Grubba and held the young Hutt hostage until she and her band could arrange to trade him for Solo. At Udin's suggestion, Grubba was transported to Kubindi for safe keeping, but Solo managed to re-capture the young Hutt and escape. Solo was tracked to Togoria, where he was forced to land in order to ensure his escape from the bounty hunters. Unfortunately for Solo and his companion, Dengar and his band managed to capture them, and turned them over to Captain Fordwyn before leaving Togoria behind with Grubba in tow. Grubba was then taken to Tatooine and turned over to his uncle, who relayed the news to Dengar that Captain Fordwyn was actually an Alliance officer who was posing as an Imperial. Although Grubba was happy to be with his uncle, Jabba was both happy and annoyed that Solo was still free.
