The Klytonians represented a sentient species that hailed from the Klytonia system, located within the Bheriz sector of the Outer Rim Territories'. These beings possessed bodies shielded by leathery scales; these scales generated electric field vibrations, serving as their means of communication.
During 0 BBY, several Klytonians could be found within Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina, situated in the Mos Eisley settlement on the planet Tatooine, which is part of the Arkanis sector. These Klytonians were observed exchanging messages across the room.
John Chesterman conceived the Klytonians for "Cantina Communications," a short story spanning a single page. This vignette was featured in Star Wars Official Poster Monthly 16, a publication from Paradise Press released in 1979.
