RTK111

RTK111 was a lawless Outer Rim Territories planet. It featured a city in a warehouse district of which the native Abyssin gangster Gor Koresh ran the Gor Koresh's Honky Tonk illegal gladiator arena. In 9 ABY, the bounty hunter Din Djarin and the alien youngling Grogu visited the arena in order to meet Koresh. The gangster attempted to force Djarin to surrender his valuable Mandalorian armor, which led to a fight. Djarin subsequently hung Koresh from a streetlight outside the arena and then left him to fend off the local wild dog population.
