Velrugha

Velrugha was a Hutt who commanded a military force during a number of invasion attempts made on the Hutt Space planet of Riileb. The planet's sentient native species, also called the Riileb, had been discovered previously by Nimbanese scouts who served the Hutts; the Riilebs had resisted the visitors' efforts to convince them to enter voluntary servitude to the Hutts.

Taking a more forceful approach to enslaving the species, Velrugha's forces attempted to invade and take control of the planet several times but were successfully repelled on each attempt. Velrugha eventually gave up taking the planet and left the Riileb alone to search for other weaker or more compliant species to conquer. After Velrugha's attempted invasions, the Riileb remained independent of the Hutts.
