The Nikto were a humanoid sentient species native to the planet Kintan. They were identified by their two subspecies, the Kadas'sa'Nikto (green Nikto) and the Kajain'sa'Nikto (red Nikto), which were both well acclimated to desert climates. Many Kajain'sa'Nikto were employed by the Hutt Clan as enforcers during the Clone Wars, and several green and red Nikto served the crime lord Jabba the Hutt shortly before the Battle of Endor. Some Nikto were members of the Jedi Order, such as the male Kajain'sa'Nikto Jedi Master Ima-Gun Di.
