Niktos are a humanoid race of beings native to the planet of Kintan. They are divided into three sub-species and are often found in the galaxy as bounty hunters, assassins, and enforcers for the various crime lord syndicates such as the Hutts. However, many can also be found in service to the Jedi order. In Starwind, they mainly serve as criminals and gangsters.

As per the wishes of the mod author, the Niktos must speak in gibberish.
