Tyne's Horky, located on a planet also called Tyne's Horky, was a wild, unruly, and unregulated frontier town focused on mining. Kleb Zellock, a powerful crime lord, held sway over nearly all aspects of the town and operated his vast criminal empire from his base of operations at Doodnik's Café.
Tyne's Horky was initially showcased in "The Lost Prince," an episode from 1985 of the animated television show Star Wars Droids. The children's book, The Lost Prince: A Droid Adventure, which was based on the episode, characterized Tyne's Horky as a frontier mining settlement. Subsequently, the StarWars.com Databank extended that description to the planet itself, noting that "Tyne's Horky is a small, uneventful mining planet on the frontier."
