Tisht, a planetary body, resided within the Tisht system, situated in Hutt Space. Hutt Space is a sector of the galaxy under the dominion of the Hutt species. This planet was positioned along the hyperlane known as The Dead Road, linking it with the planets M'Hanna and Saqqar.
Access to Tisht was restricted, requiring permission from the Hutt Grand Council, the governing political organization of the Hutt species. Consequently, those from outside the Hutt's sphere had very little knowledge regarding the planet.
The Essential Atlas, a reference book from 2009 written collaboratively by Jason Fry and Daniel Wallace, first introduced Tisht to the lore, locating it in grid square T-11.
