"Oh, yes, Noghri—I know what you and your people are. The Emperor's private Death Commandos; killing and dying at the whim of ambitious men like Darth Vader and the Grand Admiral here."

―Joruus C'baoth^[src]

The Noghri Death Commandos were Noghri commandos who worked for the Galactic Empire, doing anything their overlord asked of them. Their main tasks were the abduction and assassination of Rebel personnel or the rescue of imprisoned Imperials.

History

NoghriDeathCommandos-DRF3 — A trio of Noghri Death Commandos

Noghri Death Commandos first worked for Darth Vader, whom they called their savior.

Darth Vader also gave a squad of Noghri Death Commandos to Inquisitor Valin Draco, as a reward for helping the Dark Lord to interrogate Halagad Ventor. Draco's Noghri were later killed by Alderaanian Resistance agents, while on a mission in the ruins of the Almas Academy.^[1]

After the death of Darth Vader, the Noghri Death Commandos, along with the rest of the Noghri people, continued to serve the Empire, being especially loyal to Thrawn. When Thrawn targeted Leia Organa Solo for assassination, the Noghri Death Commandos partook in many attempts on her life. When Leia revealed the Empire's treachery, it turned the Noghri against their former masters. Instead of working to take Leia's life, they acted as her loyal body guards, and it was essentially impossible to have them leave their mistress's side. A number of them were slain defending the lives of her and her family throughout the years of the New Republic and into the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances.
