SK was a unit of measurement of computer data.^[1] A Swift 78B Vessel Courier System, a skull implant that could be used to carry sensitive information, could hold 800 SKs of memory.^[2]

During the Galactic Civil War,^[3] the group of renegade slicers known as the Skaak Tippers took the first part of their name from a combination of the SK unit of measure and the aak dog,^[1] an animal native to the planet Haruun Kal.^[4] "Tipper," the founder of the group, believed the word made the Skaak Tippers sound like vicious computer hackers.^[1]
