Before the Galactic Republic Hutt came to be on the world Varl. During some point in time Varl became part of the Infinite Empire of the Rakata. In about 24,000 BBY the Hutts made an empire in the Outer Rim Territories. Xim the Despot found the empire 100 years after it was established and after failed negotiations attacked. The Hutts won the war with the loss of their homeworld Varl.
