The H'kig book of laws was a supposed guide to the laws of the H'kig, a secluded religious group. Luke Skywalker, a Jedi Master, encountered an advertisement for it between 16 ABY and 17 ABY. This occurred after he visited the Galactic Archives, a small shop in Trader's Plaza within the spaceport of Talos on the planet Atzerri, while searching for details regarding his mother, Padmé Amidala. Skywalker used a courtesy cab run by the shop to get to their main distribution center. Inside this vehicle, Skywalker noticed the advertisement for the H'kig book of laws, along with others advertising Principles of Power, the Sith book of offerings and rituals, and a publication claiming to reveal the secrets of forming group minds akin to those of the Bilar species. Despite the shop's offer of a discount for purchasing three or more books, the Jedi concluded they were all fake.
Shield of Lies, the second book in The Black Fleet Crisis trilogy, includes a reference to the H'kig book of laws. Michael P. Kube-McDowell authored the novel, which was released in 1996.
