Situated within the Outer Rim Territories of the galaxy, the planet Troiken served as the native homeworld for the Xexto species. Furthermore, the Pyke Syndicate oversaw unrefined spice extraction endeavors on this world.
Troiken was the birthplace of Gasgano, the renowned Xexto podracer pilot (of the male sex), and also of Ferpil Wallaway, the male Xexto who ran a pawnshop and engaged in pickpocketing. Given the Xexto's possession of multiple sets of arms, slingshots of different types were favored weapons on their planet. During the New Republic Era, Carson Teva's survival guide, "Index of Organizations," referenced Troiken as a planet where the Pyke Syndicate maintained a presence.
The 2000 Star Wars Legends book Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I, authored by Kristin Lund, marked the initial mention of Troiken. Its place in canon was solidified by its inclusion in Ultimate Star Wars, a 2015 reference work collaboratively penned by Patricia Barr, Adam Bray, Daniel Wallace, and Ryder Windham.
