Joreikna was a large city on Ryloth. Some of its business came from local mining of ryll, but the city was not dependent on mining for income. Joreikna's clan leaders, the Ku'rys, came into conflict with the leaders of the nearby mining town of Lohema, the Rooshan clan. Eventually, Ged Ku'rys, an indecisive member of the head-clan, was targeted for assassination by the Rooshan clan.
