Klytus V, often referred to simply as Klytus, was a gas giant residing in the fifth orbital position within a star system. This system was situated on the border of Wild Space, specifically in grid square H-15 of the Standard Galactic Grid. This planet exhibited at least one significant storm within its atmosphere, with an eye of crimson hue clearly visible from orbit. The name Klytus V was also used for Klytus V Station.
Roughly one year following the proclamation of the New Order, Captain Visler Korda of the Galactic Empire received the assignment to document gas giants located at the edge of Wild Space. During the process of cataloging Klytus V, an ensign notified Korda that their orbital schedule around the planet included an additional seven hours.
Klytus V initially made its debut in the 2016 junior novel titled Adventures in Wild Space: The Steal, penned by Cavan Scott. A shortened version of the designation was subsequently introduced via a map that was produced for the reference work Star Wars: Timelines. This map was distributed as a promotional poster during Celebration Anaheim from May 26 to 29, 2022, preceding the book's release at Celebration Europe which took place from April 7 to 10, 2023.
