Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A Nikto served as a guard for the Hutt Devirsivik Clan during the High Republic Era.[1] Around 229 BBY,[2] the Nikto, alongside other guards, had fought and failed to protect their stronghold on the planet Ena from the Jedi,[1] who liberated the planet from Hutt rule,[3] with the Nikto losing a finger in the process.[1]

The Nikto and some of the other guards were then brought to the planet Nal Hutta following the liberation, with the guard informing the Hutt Churo about the loss of his limb.[1] Later, in 228 BBY,[4] while passing through the corridors of his family's palace, Churo was surprised by the amount of guards present, recalling the time the Nikto informed him about his missing finger.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Nikto palace guard was mentioned in the 2024 junior novel The High Republic: Beware the Nameless, written by Zoraida Córdova and published as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[5]

As The High Republic: Beware the Nameless takes place one and a half years after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY.
