During the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, Republic forces undertook a mission to the Hutt homeworld of Hutta. The operation occurred approximately eight years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, and saw the Republic Special Forces team known as Blackstar Squad dispatched to the planet to perform covert activities. Hutta—a world independent from both the Republic and the Empire, under the sole control of the Hutt Cartel—proved to be a hostile environment. Upon recalling her participation in the mission two years later, Special Forces trooper Larin Moxla indicated that she barely escaped Hutta alive.
The mission to Hutta was first mentioned by former Republic trooper Larin Moxla in Sean Williams' 2010 novel, The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance.
