Neutrois

"I will not apologize for asking Lord Vader to refrain from commandeering the conversation into a referendum on his religious devotion, nor will I apologize for attempting to give credit to the hardworking men, women and neutrois whose years of decication made this day possible by praising the capabilities of the Death Star station."

- Conan Antonio Motti

Neutrois was a term used to describe individuals with a gender other than male or female in use around 0 BBY within the Galactic Empire. Some of the people who worked to build the first Death Star in the preceding years were neutrois. In a report following the incident where Darth Vader's Force choked him for mocking his belief in the Force, the Imperial Navy's Admiral Conan Antonio Motti praised the men, women and neutrois who helped to build the Death Star and asserted that he would not apologize for attempting to give them the credit they were due after Vader dismissed the battle station's power compared with that of the Force.

Behind the scenes
Neutrois was first mentioned in the short story "An Incident Report" written by Mallory Ortberg and published in the 2017 anthology From a Certain Point of View. In the real world, neutrois is used to describe a gender that is neutral or null. Although in "An Incident Report" Motti used the term in a generalized manner, it is just one of many non-binary identities.
