The Nami were a nomadic species of sapients in the Outer Rim Territories.

HistoryEdit

Originally from the Galactic Core, they were driven into the Rim during the Clone Wars and largely forgotten.

Years later, a female Nami leader named Ali Tarrak came to power. Forces under her command captured a prototype of the new TIE Defender starfighter produced by the Galactic Empire, and very nearly precipitated an arms race by attempting to sell that technology to the Rebels. Eventually she was captured and sent to Coruscant, where she would be trained to serve the Emperor. Deprived of their production centers and their leader, the Nami species sank back into obscurity.

The Nami were Human-sized, if not Humans themselves, as they could comfortably fly TIE Defenders produced to Human pilot standards. Tarrak's voice over the radio comlink during the prototype-capture conflict sounded very Human and accentless.
