Honoghr/Legends

Honoghr was the homeworld of the Noghri, near Kessel.

History
The planet was once part of the Infinite Empire.

20 BBY, during the Clone Wars, the nonaligned planet became an ecological disaster when, after a battle in orbit, a Lucrehulk-class Core Ship crashed to the surface. While the Republic were anxious because of the Seperatist Dreadnaught's cargo, it appears that it was the energies released by the crash of the ship itself itself that truly wounded Honoghr. Over the next few months, as the planet's plains and jungles died, the Noghri trekked across the planet in a mass exodus in search of a place where they could somehow make a stand.

Within weeks of the end of the conflict, Darth Vader arrived at Honoghr - and promptly found his stormtrooper guards slaughtered around him by the natives. In exchange for the Galactic Empire working to restore the planet's ecosystem, the Noghri gave homage to Vader and pleged to serve him as assassins - the Death Commandos. In reality, the Imperial restoration teams deliberately kept Honoghr poisoned, thus keeping the Noghri bound in the service of the Empire.

Later, Leia Organa Solo, using her position as the daughter and heir of Darth Vader and having discovered the Empire's trickery, persuaded the Noghri to relinquish their allegiance to the Empire. The Noghri were freed from their enslavement and became members of the New Republic and its successor government the Galactic Alliance. The Noghri were represented in the New Republic Senate by Kahr'corvh clan Khim'bar.

Leia and her entire family also became very highly respected figures in Noghri society. The New Republic helped resettle the Noghri to other planets, including Wayland, to give Honoghr time to heal.
