Sutha, a Hutt of the male persuasion, existed in the era when the Galactic Empire held power. During the reign, Sutha was in the service of the influential Hutt Clan, and more specifically, its head, Jabba. Following the destruction of the competing Son-tuul Pride by Darth Vader's Imperial troops, Sutha engaged in talks with Vader to establish an understanding between the Empire and the Hutt Cartel. A mutually advantageous alliance was formed, where the Empire would take out rival organizations like the Son-tuul Pride, providing the cartels with access to new markets, and in return, the Hutts would provide the Empire with resources. His life came to an end; he was killed on the Sorca Retreat.
