"Sir, we've had an incursion on the Northeast border. The Horde grows bold. I think we need to pull back our borders for now and gather our forces while we scout them out." The sound of Radok's voice was as mechanical and expressionless as one might expect from a living statue.
<Pull back? We've worked too hard establishing our borders to give now. The Horde is an unorganized mess that operates with the stupidest of soldiers. If they didn't outnumber everyone but the Killiks ten to one they'd have been annihilated years ago.> Rekali the Hutt's hologram complained to his second. He hired Radok to solve problems like this, not cower and pull back their territory.
"Yes, but they are more organized of late. The precision and unification of their ranks is uncanny for their species. I've never seen Lugubra this organized before. The sight of them seems to break the morale of our men on the border. They don't fight as well against the Horde as they do anyone else."
<You're telling our men can't fight the Horde because they're scary? Radok, you know as well as I do their is no value for cowards in a business like ours.>
"Yes, but it is-"
"It isn't natural." Kijo the Rodian spoke as he entered the room. "And I know why." He said and held up a datapad, before pressing a few buttons and showing a holopic of a Tchuukthai.
"The horde has a new boss, Jorvan. I had to shake down every schutta in Yala district to get some dirt on this guy. He's a former One Sith commander that bailed after Coruscant. Served in fleet battles by doing some sort of mind-web poodoo. It'd make his guys faster, more confident, more coordinated, and do the opposite to his foes. Everytime the Horde does a big raid he goes into a trance an the Lugubra become super soldiers. They've increased territory by seven blocks in the last three months because of this guy, and he's eyeing our spaceport next." Kijo said as he sent the information to Rekali the Hutt.
"He's well guarded, and too far in for an assault. I think we need to call a hit. Quick and quiet like. I could make a few calls-"
<No Kijo. You have done well, but I fear we'll need to call in some special aid for this one. Radok, take a few lessons from Kijo. I'm going to arrange Jorvan's end. You two just ensure we don't lose any territory in the mean time.> Rekali the Hutt said before cutting the call.

Jorvan. A former One Sith. I'm not stealthy enough to deal with this myself, and if I ask a vod from Clan Rekali I risk unveiling my organization. No, I must find a bounty hunter from another clan to deal with this. The Hutt thought to himself as he perused some of the Rekali Clan's resources, looking for bounty hunters to contract. There was one with an incredible success ratio, but, no. He only hunted beasts. He needed someone to kill a Sith, not a Sithspawn.
Fett. As in the Fetts? Rekali saw a name and was curious, before pulling the file. Over twenty years experience. Lost limbs and life threatened, but never thought to put down the gun. A loner by nature, but a Mandalorian by family. Successful enough to be a good call, not enough political desire or clout to try and blackmail him later if things went wrong. Perfect. Rekali pulled up his holomail and sent the man a message.

My name is Rekali the Hutt, adopted member of the Rekali Clan. As I've scrounged through old connections I've heard of a terrible slaver rise up and execute or sell some old associates of mine. I'd like to take revenge, a sort of penance, but I am not the best at stealth, nor do I have the clout to bring a party of raiders onto a world that's largely a cesspool of criminal turf wars. I do however have a good amount of credits, and I would like to hire you. If you're interested I can forward you the information or we can have a meeting and discuss your task and adequate compensation.
Regards,
Rekali the Hutt
