As shown in the recent clips of the "Kill the Captain" scenario, an alien species reveals itself at least once (possibly twice). The clear image appears to be a Green Nikto, Kadas'sa'Nikto for fanatics(image 13 of the dissected video). The second possible sight of a Nikto is as the defeated Jedi(the source of the purple lightsaber and image 35 of the dissected video). Yes, Yes, I know it is kinda hard to make out and that is about the only time you see his face so your guess is as good as mine. There are records of Nikto Jedi, making this plausible. The home planet of this species is Kintari, a planet bathed in radiation causing the massive mutations within the species. The radiation lets many shades of skin tones, as well as other features, for Nikto develop depending on the environment they inhabited.


Nikto were shown clearly within the Black Vulkar in The Knights of the Old Republic before Taris got blasted, showing their presence within the current time frame. For those of you that are not as familiar with the species from KOTOR they are spiky faced orange guys on Jabba's Yacht. Often being tied to the Hutts also explains the appearance of the green Nikto on what appears to be Nal Hutta. (I like to use Nal Hutta over Hutta because that is how I first learned it)

One branch of the Nikto Culture that could play a large role within the storyline is the Morgukai. Morgukai are a secret society composed of Nikto that despise the Jedi and have a strong code of honor, much like the Mandalorians. Cortosis weapons and a resistance to mind tricks made them ideal assassins of force users. While there was a hatred for Jedi a similar structure was adopted, such as crafting their own weapons and the master/apprentice system. These Nikto could provide an opponent within flashpoints, raids, (and the least dramatic) cannon fodder. Even if they do not make a direct appearance, perhaps their weapons could provide the top of the line melee weapons for the non-force users in the world.(I made sure to put Morgukai in because I know Aussie is a fan)
