Kintan was a planet[5] located in the Outer Rim Territories,[1] in grid square S-9 on the Standard Galactic Grid,[2] 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,[5] the lavender-skinned Esral'sa'Nikto,[7] and the red-skinned Kajain'sa'Nikto.[5] 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.[8] Creatures known as Kintan striders, whose appearance was used as a piece in the game dejarik, were from this world.[3][9]
