Kintan was a planet[4] located in the Hutt Space region of the galaxy's Outer Rim Territories[1] that was the homeworld of the Nikto species, which was divided into at least three subspecies: the green-skinned Nikto known as Kadas'sa'Nikto,[4] the lavender-skinned Esral'sa'Nikto,[5] and the red-skinned Kajain'sa'Nikto.[4] It was conquered by the Hutt Cartel, which was controlled by the Hutts from the neighboring world of Nal Hutta, who turned the Nikto into slaves or vassals.[1] Klaatu, a male Kadas'sa'Nikto gambler who worked as a henchman for the crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure, was from this world.[6] Creatures known as Kintan striders, whose appearance was used as a piece in the game dejarik, were from this world.[2][7]
