Vortga the Hutt, a Hutt leader, journeyed to Pybus in 684 BBY. This planet was deemed forbidden by his fellow Hutts. There, he built a hidden complex. As time passed, his paranoia grew, leading him to try and eliminate all of his previous employees who were aware of the base's existence. Lalkan was the sole survivor.
Vortga met his demise through assassination centuries prior to the Battle of Yavin. Postmortem, numerous Hutts sought to uncover his hidden riches.
