Legend

this Hutt crimelord was active on the planet Tatooine, during the era of the Great Sith War. He was known to have dealt in slavery, and was one of the few beings that enslaved members of the Rakata race. Motta also controlled the local swoop racing circuit. Motta kept a Rakata 'specimen' in a strange box, which he shipped across the galaxy with a warning to its carrier: never open the box. If the box was opened, the being was transported inside and forced to answer three of the Rakata's question. If the being failed to answer the questions, they were trapped inside the box until Motta opened it himself. The box was a unique device known as a mind prison. The entrapped beings were then sold into slavery by Motta, once he recovered the box.
