Tsyklen

Tsyklen were a sentient species native to the planet Tsyk in Hutt Space. The species had exceptional vision and nimble hands of nine digits each. The Tsyklen were considered wily, and the Hutt species saw them as a prized client species. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, the Yuuzhan Vong invaders attacked the Tsyklen homeworld.

Biology and appearance

The Tsyklen were a sentient species from the planet Tsyk in the Tsyk system. They had at least one sex, female. They were round in shape with hairless, taut skin and had large eyes, which granted them exceptional vision. Tsyklen possessed particularly nimble hands, each of which had seven fingers and two opposable thumbs. Their digits were so long and delicate that they easily could be mistaken for tentacles.

Society and culture

Tsyklen were considered crafty in nature.

Tsyklen in the galaxy

At least one female Tsyklen left her homeworld. She was considered the best identification forger on the planet Nar Hekka in 5 BBY. That year, the Human smuggler Han Solo hired her to make false identification for him and his Wookiee partner, Chewbacca. Her manual dexterity and exceptional vision made her well suited to the career and allowed her to manipulate two holo-scribers at once.

Behind the scenes

Tsyklen first appeared in The Hutt Gambit, a novel released in 1997 as the second installment of The Han Solo Trilogy, written by A. C. Crispin.
