I have developed further plans for the Hutts.
1st off...
Saul's take over of Hutt Space, which is essentially a Civil War, will make headlines throughout the Galaxy. I'm going to have Otto learn of this on Bastion by seeing updates on the Holonews. What effect this will have on the GA and other factions/species is unknown.
Secondly...
Having consolidated his control of Hutt Space, and with the new alliance of the Mandalorians, Saul is going to take his first expansionist step: annexing the
Periphery. The Periphery is on the edge of Hutt Space and Saul has an interest in the Vaathkree and the shipyards and shipbuilders (they designed the new Delta 9-5, though it is being massed produced by the GA's bigger shipbuilders).
This even will no doubt have an effect on the galactic community as well, and will rise tensions. However, Saul will be able to appease the international community by stopping all further actions of expansion. Technically he just wanted this section of space, and the GA will be willing to let him have it.
I'm open to thoughts on this.
