The Makeb treaty signified a structured pact formed between the Galactic Republic and what remained of the Hutt Cartel. This occurred after the Conquest of Makeb, which resulted in the Cartel's devastation and the death of their leader, Toborro. Initially, the surviving Hutt leaders consented to the arrangement to guarantee their secure evacuation from the planet Makeb before it was destroyed. Subsequently, under the instruction of Supreme Chancellor Leontyne Saresh, it evolved into a formal alliance. The conditions involved the Hutts constructing a new colony world for the inhabitants of Makeb, the Republic acquiring command of the Hutts' naval vessels, and the Republic securing the right to assert sovereign territory on the moon Nar Shaddaa.
