- "When Xim the Despot and his droid legions attempted to invade Hutt space, the great Kossak defeated them at Vontor and sent them fleeing for the Tion Hegemony."
- ―Borga Besadii Diori
Vontor was a planet located in the Si'Klaata Cluster within the boundaries of Hutt Space. Vontor was a huge source of kiirium.[5]
History
- "It's a war-robot. Xim the Despot built a brigade of them to serve as his absolutely faithful royal guard. They were, at that time, the most formidable human-form fighting machines in the galaxy. This one's remains were recovered from the floating ruins of Xim's orbital fortress, possibly the only one that wasn't vaporized in the Third Battle of Vontor, Xim's final defeat."
- ―Professor S. V. Skynx
Before the founding of the Galactic Republic, three battles between the Hutts and the forces of Xim the Despot were fought here as part of the Xim Wars. The first two ended in stalemate. In the third, 25,100 BBY, the Hutts under Kossak surprised Xim with a horde of their newest allies—the Weequays, Vodrans, Nikto, and Klatooinians—and defeated Xim.[2]
