Noghri revolution

"It looks like the kholm-grass you remember, and even smells very much like it. But not exactly. It is, in fact, a subtle creation of the Empire:sent by the Emperor to poison your world."

- Leia Organa Solo

In 35 BBY a Separatist ship crashed accidentally to the surface of Honoghr.The ship emitted Trihexalophine1138, a poison which nearly destroyed the planet's flora. Only the Kholm-grass could survive.

16 years later, Darth Vader came to the planet Honoghr and offered his help to clean the planet from the poison. He sent decon droids to do this work. The noghris thanked the help by being slaves and assassins of the Dark Lord. Later on as Vader had other things to do, he brought Grand AdmiralThrawn to Honoghr and introduced him as the new lord of noghris.

The noghris did everything the Admiral wanted. He trusted the noghris because they respected him like God. In 9 ABY, Thrawn sent commandos to capture Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo. However, they couldn't manage to get them. On Planet Kashyyyk, a noghri, Khabarakh smelled Leia and recognized her as Mal'ary'ush, the Daughter of Vader. He brought Leia to Honoghr because she offered to help them.

Accidentally, Thrawn visited Honoghr on the very same day, and recognised Khabarakh as the last survivor from the Commando Team 22 which was sent to Kashyyyk to capture Leia. Thrawn personally set off to the dukha of the Clan Khim'bar to interrogate Khabarakh about the events on Kashyyyk. Meanwhile Leia and Chewbacca were hidden in the dukha not to be noticed by the Admiral. Thrawn sentenced Khabarakh with betrayal and sent him to Nystao to humiliate him in public.

Leia, Chewie and the maitrakh planned to set Khabarakh free when the moon is the farthest from the planet. While they were waiting for the day, Leia were thinking about the Kholm-grass, and examined it. Then finally they set off not silently but with a big crowd to the Big Dukha where the Dynasts of the noghri clans were. Leia proved that the decon droids were poisoning their plants and they gave them mutated kholm-grass. After all, the noghris accepted her idea, and turned against Thrawn, but only silently.

Later on, the noghris helped Luke, Leia and the others as bodyguards. Meanwhile they sent messages to the imperial commandos that Thrawn - and the whole Empire- lied to them about the poison.

Then Thrawn made his first and last mistake, he trusted his bodyguard, Rukh who stabbed him, setting the noghris free. They became part of the |New Republic to help them in the war against the Empire.
