Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Kajidic was the Hutt philosophy which guided most of Hutt daily life and politics. It was developed by the Hutt Budhila Hestilic Amura after the Hutts relocated to Nal Hutta, following the Hutt Cataclysms. The Huttese word kajidic is said to literally mean "Somebody's got to have it. Why not us?"

Kajidic was also a loose Hutt term for their clans, their "business enterprises" and criminal syndicates, and for the archetypal superclan they believed was destined to eventually rule the galaxy. Separate clans would usually run their own kajidic in competition with other clans'. The kajidics were governed by the Hutt Grand Council, which oversaw their operations, and each kajidic had an appointed leader, called a kajidii or lorda.

The Vodrans, as vassals of the Hutts, also organized themselves in kajidics, though these were wholly subservient to Hutt kajidics.
