The Machinists of Nikato comprised a faction that played a role during the Third Alsakan Conflict circa 14,300 BBY. Having vanquished the Duros Red Credit Brigade, they went on to found the region known as Nikato's Bootheel located on the world of Raxus Prime within the Tion Cluster. These machinists were responsible for building a complex system of clockwork devices surrounding the old Tionese buildings, and they aided in transforming the planet into a hub for manufacturing throughout the galaxy.
