Legend

this Hutt crimelord was one of Popara's biggest rivals during the last decades of the Old Republic. After the institution of the New Order, Parella became something of a business partner with Popara, working from his base on Nar Shaddaa when business required them to work together. Known as a shrewish individual with a nasty streak, Parella was an athletic Hutt who preferred to hunt whirlbats on Nal Hutta instead of lounging in the leisure of ill-gotten gains. However, Parella recognized that an alliance with the Anjiliac clan would be beneficial to his own endeavors. However, instead of currying favor from Popara, Parella focused his efforts on creating an alliance with Mika, Popara's youngest offspring. When Popara was murdered and Mika fled Anjiliac Towers, Parella decided to rethink his strategy, and chose to endear himself to Zonnos by hunting down Popara's killer. Parella was known as The Hunter for good reason: he was one of the few Hutts who actually left his lair to hunt down his prey, which was often the beings who had tried to swindle him. Using modified training remotes, Parella would locate his quarry. Then, wearing a full-body suit of Hutt battle armor, Parella would confront his opponents and challenges them to combat. The Hutt battle armor was as much for protection as for diversion, since many beings failed to anticipate Parella's speed while wearing the heavy armor. Tiny microrepulsors in the armor made it lighter and more manevuerable, allowing Parella to attack with vigor and force.
