The Hutt resistance, also known as the Hutt underground, emerged around 26 ABY as a resistance movement among the Hutt people during the Yuuzhan Vong War. Their goal was to liberate Hutt Space from the control of the Yuuzhan Vong invaders, who were under the command of Nas Choka, following the Battle of Nal Hutta. Booster Terrik provided the resistance with armaments, ensuring his own financial gain through these transactions.
Subsequently, after Bana Besadii Diori's mission to Shelter to negotiate with Leia Organa Solo, the Great River began to assist the Hutts in obtaining essential non-military technologies like sustenance and pharmaceuticals. Embra was the leader of the Sisar Runners, a specific faction within the broader underground movement.
