Nikto
A Kadas'sa'Nikto, simply referred as Nikto, were a humanoid species from the planet of Kintan, which were also known
on many worlds in the Galaxy. These reptillian humanoids had a variety of subspecies, which differed in their appearance,
due to radiation on their homeworld.
Because of the historical events in the past many Nikto associate themselves with the Hutts, and serve the clans from Nal Hutta and Nar Shaddaa as bodyguards and agents. This also explains, why Nikto are quite fluent in the Huttese language.
There were several notable Nikto, representing different subspecies of the race, including the Jedi Master Ima-Gun Di,
who lived during the Clone Wars. Revan met a lot of Nikto during his quest for the Star Forge, when he was visiting Taris:
there the Lower City streets were occupied by a swoop gang of Nikto, named the Black Vulkars. Some 300 years later Nikto
had their own district on Nar Shaddaa, revisited by the eight heroes of the Great Galactic war period.

Notes from Authors:
This is a second model, that we made as a team, devoted to the Jedi Academy. But surely not the last.
The people asked us about this and other species, and as we are planning to release Chapter I of the SP modification,
The Dark Pastime, and we thought, that a small pre-release would be a nice addition to the models collection before that.
The Nikto model, particularly the head and helmet were made by OlgO, while NumberWan worked on the textures and the concept of the alien. It is important to note, that the body is that of the original Human Merc from JA, so that the new
mercenary looked as part of the team of thugs in the game. Barricade24 was more than kind to provide a voice for the alien, and we would like to thank him for his work as well. Also we appreciate the help of Omicron for providing the link
to the icons basis and thanks to Ruxith for providing them to the JK community.
The model includes the default skin, as well as the team ones (Red and Blue), but no bot files. With the release of the mod more variants of the Nikto will be available, as in the mod the Nikto bounty hunter is present more than once.
If you want to spawn an NPC in JA SP, simply use the console (Shift + ~) and print "NPC spawn nikto".
