Non-huMan
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Non-huMan or NhM was the Imperial designation for aliens, humanoids, droids, cyborgs and female Humans. It was used to signify Human High Culture, and was said that NhM bigotry reached its height in the pre-Endor Imperial Navy.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- George Lucas, when composing notes on the background of his universe for licensees in 1977 suggested that female stormtroopers were not uncommon in the Empire, though few were stationed on the Death Star. They were probably located in other units. As such, the bias against females in the Empire as represented in the Expanded Universe appears to have not been a part of Lucas' intent.[1] However, no female stormtroopers were referred to or appeared in licensed materials or the movies until the Star Wars Legacy comic series.
