Grinta the Hutt

Grinta the Hutt was a Hutt crime lord who ran a slave operation on Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa. He also had ties to Black Sun and numerous interests on the planet Onyx.

In 2018, Grinta ran afoul of the Remnant when his agents encountered members of the Spectres on Nal Hutta. His agents quickly planned to capture and sell Josh Myers and Lucy Felth into slavery while also determining how much they could get for R9-D2 despite knowing that Josh was a Jedi. When the two teens and their droid escaped capture while taking one of Grinta's agents as a prisoner, Grinta issued a bounty for the entire crew and demanded that his turncoat agent be silenced. These actions led Wanda Houston to place Nal Hutta under Remnant lockdown which further disrupted Grinta's operations. Soon after this, one of Grinta's agents came into possession of a shipment of T-7 Ion Disruptors which Grinta authorized the sale of. Unfortunately, the interested buyers turned out to be members of the Spectres in the forms of New York City Police Department Detective Jamal Wilkins and former Imperial Security Bureau Agent Alexsandr Kallus posing as members of the First Order who along with Garazeb Orrelios, Lucy's uncle Anthony Rivers, and the Stormtroopers of the 501st Legion later arrested this agent and took him back to New York City for interrogation, trial, and sentencing while two others were killed in a brief firefight with Rivers' Stormtroopers. Enraged by this setback, Grinta sent agents to Earth where they snatched the Spectres' leader Ezra Bridger off the streets of New York and took him to Onyx where the local Minister of State interrogated and tortured Ezra until a rescue operation was mounted by Remnant General Tevin Felth and the Spectres' founder Hera Syndulla. After this, Houston ordered Grinta's summary execution as a threat to Galactic peace and security. Grinta was later killed by an unknown Mandolorian which some suspect was either Sabine Wren or Boba Fett.

After Grinta's death, Black Sun agents targeted American Spaceways flights betwen Lothal and Earth for hijackings. Their first attempt was thwarted by members of the who were aboard the ship while their second one was a brief success until Houston authorized the use of military force against Black Sun and a rescue operation that was planned and carried out by Felth, Remnant Admiral Michael Piett, and the Spectres which resulted in a one-sided battle between Black Sun and Remnant forces in which Black Sun sustained severe losses.
