Legend

a member of the Noghri clan Kihm'bar and thirdson of the clan maitrakh, Khabarakh was the only survivor of Noghri commando team 22, which was sent to Kashyyyk to capture Leia Organa Solo some five years after the Battle of Endore. However, his encounter with Leia led him to reconsider his loyalty to the Empire, especially after learning that she was the Mal'ary'ush. He spent nearly a month on Kashyyyk before returning to Honoghr, listening to Leia's entreaties to allow the New Republic to help the Noghri and finally agreeing to bring her to Honoghr. Khabarakh was originally believed to have been killed on Kashyyyk, but his reappearance on Honoghr drew the attention of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Although Khabarakh covered his disappearance by claiming that he needed time to meditate and reflect on his failure at kashyyyk, Thrawn placed Khabarakh and clan Kihm'bar under Imperial arrest until the missing month could be truthfully explained. Throughout the struggle between Thrawn and the New Republic, Khabarakh supported Leia and her family, and eventually became a bodyguard of sorts for her. After the death of Thrawn, he returned to his planet to help rebuilt it.
