| Noghri |  |
| The Noghri of Honoghr are hairless, gray-skinned bipeds - heavily muscled and possessing unbelievable reflexes and agility. Their small size hides their deadly abilities - they are compact killing machines, built to hunt and destroy. They are predators in the strictest sense of the word, with large eyes, protruding, teeth-filled jaws, and a highly developed sense of smell. Noghri can identify individuals through scent alone.
Noghri culture is clan-oriented, made up of close-knit family groups that engage in many customs and rituals. Every clan has a dynast,or clan leader, and a village it calls home. Each clan village had a dukha-or community building - as its center, and all village life revolves around it.
Many years ago, a huge space battle between two dreadnought resulted in the poisoning of Honoghr's atmosphere. Lord Darth Vader convinced the Noghri that only he and the Empire could repair their damaged environment. In return, he asked them to serve himself and the Emperor as assassins and guards.
The Noghri, who were a peaceful, agrarian people, agreed, honor-bound to repay the Emperor their debt. Not until much later would they discover that the machines the Empire gave them to repair their land was in fact working to prevent it from recovering. The Noghri do not travel the galaxy apart from their Imperial masters. No record of the species or the homeworld of Honoghr exists in Imperial records or starcharts; Lord Vader does not want others to discover his secret. | |
