Lijuter acted as the native planet of the Houk species, their homeworld. Its position was in close proximity to the region known as Hutt Space.
The birth of Skadge occurred on Lijuter in the year of 3678 BBY. A large-scale departure from the planet happened during the time of the Galactic War, with numerous Houks abandoning their place of origin to journey to Phorliss.
During the era of the Galactic Empire, the second moon of Lijuter housed an Imperial research facility. This facility conducted experiments aiming to transform Houks into the "perfect slaves."
